similar question to mantha, does this conflict with ACS?

This will eventually become an addon to it. Until Pav is ready to go with that part though it's possible (though unlikely) that it may cause issues with the updated ACS

This mod will be retired with the release of ACS, correct?

Does it work with the earth base starting scenario?

do your grids use the Inhibitors?

works for me, though waves customization would be nice

Anyone know why all ai mods except reavers just fall out of the sky even these bases for some reason they spawn above my head around 25 blocks ish and just fall even space ones dont have dampeners but this is very weird especially since the bases spawn as a ship too and all are powered and as much as i dont mind my farm that grinds them down at an instant id'e like to see of anyone knows how to fix this??

Anyone else have this strange occurence when a base spawns drones and they get shot down near your base you hear a constant humming sound? Sort of like a heavy engine or piston running. Cleaning the drones up makes it a bit less in volume but it remains.
Pretty sure its the crashing (as in shooting down) of the drones that starts the sound as i do not have it before being discovered by a base and following drone attacks

So, just saw this when i went into the bases, the interior turrets are spawning with ammo, but won't fire. they are listed as energy weapons and tagges NPC turret in block name.

vanilla interior turrets, will allow them to fire with either nato or mr-50 mags so thats not an issue. looks like the bp's might need to be updated

seems to work fine with mine, just took down a military outpost, stepped over and land mine and im glad i used a heavy undercarriage lol

yea, all the turrets and drones spawned had ammo and where shooting at me

Sooo... Mod dead?

Started a new game with 1.200, yet after a day or so of playing with a larger base there has still no Assertive Bunker spawned.

The ammo issue is due to the blueprints referencing pre-warfare loadouts.

Since a Few days These Bases Spawn without any ammunition ... Is there any fix ? Does someone Experience the Same issue?

The research lab looks messy with the rock showing through the walls

is it just me or do these not spawn with ammo any more

i now this is months old but someone asked in may about does it work, in the description
"Bunkers will not start spawning until you have a small base and have passed the threat score requirement for them to start spawning."
also I think distance traveled has a play too

does this still work?

Thanks for the response! Another question I had, for you, not this particular mod, is about your survival impossible configuration. I made my own similar scenario but starting on Mars. How did you configure the planet to have enough oxygen to fill tanks? Been looking everywhere’s for a solution lol.

because after 5 hors of playing i found none on earth

and it works like it will spawn around me or i need to fly and find it?

You can add it to an existing one :)

do i need to load this mod on brand new world or can i just add it to existing one ?

The short answer to both is no, I haven't used randomised loot in any of the mods yet so there's no way to modify what each thing has

Sorry if this has been asked or is stated elsewhere, but do the assertive mods contain daily needs loot? If not, are the loot tables configurable so that they have a certain chance to contain food/ water?

what planets do they spawn on

It's mostly intended, though the script that runs on the bases is meant to make it a little more sporadic. Sadly the script can be a little unreliable on servers. I'd recommend also adding my Assertive Cargo Ships Rival AI Test mod as it'll give you some other bases that will attack occasionally (instead of constantly) so at least there will be more variety in how the bases interact with players :)

This and the other assertive mods add some much needed spiciness to the server my friends and I play on. However the bases seem to spawn drones every 5 or so minutes and it seems to give us very little time to respond. Is this intended?

If so we'll adapt but we all have noted how aggressive and fast the drones show up once a base spawns nearby.

Thanks for the great mod!

This description:
"The antenna on the base is set to maximum range and will send drones to attack any player that ventures into this area (the current maximum range is 15km)"

... suggests to me you have modded the Antenna to be a Radar instead? As a 15km range antenna should not "detect" anything within 15km just because it is there. Other things need to be broadcasting far enough to overlap the Assertive bunker. ?

Not sure if I am the only one having this problem, but every bunker that spawns doesn't clear out the ground it spawns in, so the bases have to be dug out manually.

hello splitsie i have installed this mod on my public server but it seem they r despawn vary shortly after spawning i was wondering if its somthing in the code of the mod or my server thx for u time buddy

What is the treat score? I have an outpost on a survival world but im not being attacked, I have been playing with this mod loaded for a few days now and i havent seen any drones. I have seen the Assertive Bunkers being spawned though. im asuuming im not threat enough for an attack...?

I'm having issues with MES and pretty much every collection mod for it, including this one.. I'm checking mod by mod and It's a shame nothing is working for me. Is MES broken or am i just an odd one out?

No, for that you have to make your own mod. I have made guides with Lucas to help with that process and Lucas (the author of MES) also has very clear documentation for how to set up those mods

is there a way or will there be away for a player to have there own custom design drones/ships used instead of the ones that come with the mod already?

Maybe? The Modular Encounters Spawner is, but beyond that I'm unsure

Hi, is it compatible with weapon core?

i would've liked to grab one for myself and get my own army haha.

No, drones can only be spawned by things that belong to NPC only factions. The moment you take it over they stop.

if i hijack one of them, will it spawn allied drones?

They spawn at more than 15km ? i dont want people on my server traveling and being insta-attacked by this bunkers on war mode

You can use them both, you can use any combination of mods with MES as MES will then just randomly spawn stuff from any one of the mods

question. should i use this with surface occupation or should i do one or the other?

Ok ok, also I don't know if you remember but one day on youtube I asked in comment what was this flying saucer that loved to attack your earth base, well I just finaly found this saucer and soon you'll have your own fighting saucer (with shields because Y E S)

The spawner tracks your distance traveled over the surface (even moving around your base is travelling) and after a certain distance you'll trigger a spawn attempt, if it finds a suitable location then a base will spawn, if it doesn't find a suitable location nothing will happen and it'll wait to be triggered again. Each player present has their own tracking and so more players means you'll reach the maximum number of bases faster (default being 10 I think)

Question about the way they spawn, do they slowly spawn arround us or you gotta explore ? Not gonna lie that I hope it to slowly spawn around us !

nice thx I will give a try !

Most of the drones can operate up to 1.9G but they don't work as well as they do on lower gravity. None have been tested by me above that (1.9G is the gravity on Omicron). You'll certainly find that they'll crash more frequently even if they do still mostly work

Hi @Pav / @Splitsie, I want to try a new game where I will change the planet gravity to X2 (earth at 2, alien 2,2, ..).

How will your drones from this mod and assertive installation manage that ?
If the drones can't manage so much gravity this will not be interesting as I want some challenge on planet...

@ \TG/ Altaree. The mod has not been tested for weaponCore so most likely it's not working with that mod.

I'm currently working on a complete re-write of the mod so that is using Rival AI. Currently the mod is highly dependent on in-game scripts, all of which can now be replaced with Rival AI so that the mod will run better and more reliably.
