(Retired) Assertive Installations

This is now included as part of the Assertive Combat Systems mod and is considered retired, I will not be attempting any updates bugfixing or troubleshooting as you should be using the newer mod found here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1902970975

This is a collection of bases for the Modular Encounters Spawner

• multiple variations on each base, some come with a variety of traps

• no reactors or uranium on any of the bases

• you will need to have in-game scripts enabled in your world to get the most out of this mod

• the blocks used in the bases are vanilla (some have DLC content)

The bases all have two modes:

• War: 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)

• Peace: In this mode the antenna is reduced to short range, unless you get quite close to the base you may not even know it's there. During peace time you should have the opportunity to repair and prepare for the next wave of attacks.

The duration of both of these modes is randomised within a preset range and varies with the type of base that's spawned.

New customised drones:

• the bases will spawn a variety of drones, including variations on the vanilla drones with all their reactors and uranium removed

• thanks to Pav there are 6 new completely custom drones

• there are multiple variations on each drone for added challenge

• drone antenna range is short so be vigilant

• drones use the new AI so there are some differences in how they behave, some good, some bad but with the help of Lucas, mostly good

Antenna signals belonging to other mods will not spawn drones (unless their name matches the ones in this mod), the signals belonging to this mod are:

• Installation

• Observer

• Outpost

• Headquarters

• Planetary Defense

• Colony Defense

A big thank you to Lucas/Meridius IX for making the MES and for all his help during my work on this mod

**Changes as of 28/9/19 with thanks to Pav

• added all new drones
• added additional extra large rare base meant as a challenging conquest

** Changes as of 24/10/19

• added whole new class of base that are smaller and include multiple variants
• added all new lunar bases with their own custom set of drones
• completely reworked the spawning settings so you should now see smaller bases with the large nasty ones being less frequent, but being a bit meaner when you do see them

** Changes made 3/12/19

• Rebalanced the enemy bases to account for locations with lots of flat terrain and added threat score limits to all bases
• reduced ammo amounts on lower tier bases
• added small amounts of lootables on selected bases (I hope to add datapads and other fun bits as time goes on)
• except for a special encounter that will happen rarely, drones no longer have any warheads and the lag spike inducing drifting pursuant is now gone forever

Please let me know if you have any issues as this was a big update and I may have missed some bugs
