It still working ?

Sorry, but i pretty much stopped working on this a long time ago.

Good afternoon Lukas,
I am a big fan of this mod, and have been using it for quite a while now. Judging by the lack of update/comment activity, do you consider this mod to be feature-complete or is it still in active development?

if you're still developing it, do you have any plans to incorporate Meridius IX/Lucas's new RivalAI framework for drone behaviour and targeting AI? My friends and I had some concerns about drones tending to go after new players pretty aggressively from the start. if that's by design on your part, that's OK. thanks. :)

Just a thought for more realistic feel as the creation of united States space force has been established maybe a faction tag of USSF would work well as a shout out to a real space organisation/military

Hey can you add more challenging drones to attack peoples basses like maybe corvettes

hello, i am interested in making my own modular encounter mod. are there some guides or tutorials you can recommend? i am having a hard time getting started and so many questions.

So do the drones spawn near you or do they spawn from bases and travel over to you? Also how do they find you?

They will target the player and the things around him

if you have a ship will they attack it

this only adds hostile drones for its own faction, and because of how the spawner works its unlikely to have multiple factions attack at once

Are they enemies with other added factions, like SPRT (or something like) and corrupted drones?
So if one of these drones attack me, can a US drone attack us while fighting?

Okay cool. Thanks.

Until you get to around a base with some machinery and around 2 turrets the first drones appear, when getting even bigger bases some stronger ones can spawn. It mostly depends on how many player build turrets exist in a radius of 5km, so if you keep the amounts of turrets lower you will also encounter less hostile drones from this mod

"Scales with progression". What does this mean exactly? Do they start to send tougher drones or
just more of them?

Yeah its cause I have assertive installations, 15/10 mod like I said , Reavers, Sprt,and corrupt. Now the bloody US, Keep up the good work

It shouldnt be possible at that point. Can you type in "/MES.GetThreatScore" the chat? If the returned number is under 30 (20 for the supply drop), it shouldnt be my mods drones.
As information, most blocks give near to no threat value, but turrets massively increase it.

The only mod i know that spawns drones this early is assertive air traffic/installations

I might just be unlucky , but I started , got a base with 5 wind turbines, went to the bathroom, came back , my wind tower was crashing on me, and my survival kit was being dicked on by 3 drones. Loved it 15/11.

I didnt test it yet on modded planets, but aslong as the gravity isnt to high and there is an atmosphere it should work

Does this work on modded planets?

@Grand Space WizardNope, all ships are atmospherics at the moment, and im not sure at the moment if i add Space/Moon ones later on

Does this work on the moon?

-Added a Boss Encounter to the Mod (Requires the Shield Mod)
-Added a logo to the US, wich some of its ships use, wich can also be used by the player (Select a LCD Panel, select Text and Images and find the logo in the dropdown menu)

Made some of the drones available on the Workshop, i dont think they are really interesting outside of the mod but you can find them in the Collection above.

Update:

-Edited some ships and drones to work better on Mars and the Alien planet
-Changed the Spawn system to now work with the Modular Encounters Spawners Threat system, instead of checking PCU. This system updates faster and does not calculate NPC grids to its score, this way the spawning should be a bit more fair, but the values might still need optimization from my side.
