4:46 - Forgot to mention this in the video, but you need to re-export after renaming the grid in game.

how to tell the ship it have to attack us?

[@thepacketnarc7634]

@@lolmelon356 It's a pirate vessel; so, it's going to start attacking you when you get close unless your relationship with SPRT is 'allies' or 'peace'.

I hope you get back to SE moding some day.

Being able to create my own encounter is absolutly amazing! Thank you so much for this opportunity :)

[@caggaming6025]

Thanks for making this! It's much more simple than I had expected it would be. I've watched some of Splitsie's streams for his ACS mod, and I realize his is more than this basic one you're setting up, but it always seemed so daunting.

Great guide to get started! Simple, concise, at an appropriate pace and as up-to-date as it can get.👍 Thank you, great evil coding wizard, for sharing your wisdom. 🙏 May you enrich our space adventures with even more creative means to spread despair and greater destruction and for countless years to come. 🙇‍♀️

Any chance you could do a video on how to do the faction set up?

Will adding multiple grids within a single section generate encounters with multiple ships ?

[@LucasMassey]

Indeed it will! Just make sure to set the position offsets, otherwise they will all spawn in the same location (at which point, clang takes the wheel)

[@thepacketnarc7634]

Would you happen to have any tutorial or information on how to do this on the dedicated server side w/ torch ?

[@LucasMassey]

Exact same process. At the end, you just publish the local mod to steam from the Mod Selection screen, then load the published mod to your server

[@universe9113]

getting into less simplicity areas here, how do you make it so when the cargo ship is attacked, it spawns reinforcements? or if it's a carrier, launch fighters?

[@LucasMassey]

That’s all behavior based stuff, which I plan to touch on in future content :)

[@universe9113]

Looking forward to it!
