The mod has become obsolete, it would be necessary to make a MàJ

Le mod est devenu obsolete, il faudrait faire un MàJ

Мод не работает ?

running this on a DS with other modular encounter plugins. this one seems to be having issues since a few days, console window of server says it shuts down due to modular encounter being installed... which doesnt make much sense to me. same with surface occupation. also, in the beginning it worked fine and played nicely with the other pve encounters i run, but now i cant get it to work anymore. any tips?

@andreizone - That message can be ignored. It pops up once in a while for mods that have/are dependancies to other mods.

The placement checking is not done once a second. It usually happens after 60 seconds, and only if the player its watching has travelled a certain distance. Have you modified the Config File at all?

This wrecks performance about once a second. Not surprising since it does extensive placement checking in the simulation's thread.

It's too bad because it improves random exploration so much.

The fix is to prepare and spawn things in a background thread:

Ok, thats probally why not even the Surface Occupation was not even spawning... No idea why I thought it was 10000... xD

Got a chance to check if the base has despawned today, and it has not, turns out the antenna of the base just did not broadcast that far. Thanks for the help anyway.

60 I believe

What is the default value of the spawn trigger time in the Config XML?

They don't typically despawn with this mod alone (except maybe if grid is unpowered). If you're using the NPC Cleanup and Performance Mod, then it could have been caught by that.

Wanted to ask, do the bases despawn once I log off the game? I was recording an episode with this mod and a few others, and after I came back to record the second one the base seemed to disappear.

I don't believe you need the <IsEncounter> tag in there. Not sure if it interferes or not though (on the road so can't check the code). Also, I believe the log will tell you how many installation spawners loaded successfully. So if your mod is the only one, you should be able to see it there. And lastly, if you want to increase the chance of it appearing, try increasing the frequency value (typically no higher than 5.0)

I did edit the config file to trigger every 10000

Can you paste the spawn group details? I can take a look if something is amiss

When making my own custom ground encounters mod, do I need to have more than one base in the spawngroups.sbc file?
Because currently no bases are spawning, I might just be unlucking and its trying to spawn medium and large bases.

What planet are you on?

I still can't figure out why the planet stations aren't spawning, PLEASE HELP

Unfortunately is gonna be trial and error for the most part. I do have a utility that will let you force spawn a station and set the height offset (makes things a little easier). Search for 'Encounters Setup' on my workshop page :)

Is there an easy way to figure out EXACTLY how high I should set my custom base to spawn? Or do I just have to keep doing trial and error?

Yep

Have you travelled a significant distance (Tens of kilometers at least) around the planet's surface?

@superhappyalien I know, it still doesn't work, nothing is spawning

@Head Protector Do you have Astriods On and encounters. Also this mod is the frame work for surface occupation you need this mod and surface occupation installed ,, and then you need to travel about 7kms to find a Encounter.

@Meridius_IX / Lucas Nither this nor surface occupation are spawning anything for me, please help

@Dr.Dangerous If your talking about SESE/ Torch then yes

Does this work with SEE?

@Meridius_IX / Lucas is there any way to add a script to your plugin that would generate a 500m to 700m sphere safezone with only the option of voxel destruction off. We have issues where people just dig from under and grind these bases down. Just a script on its own that would turn voxel destruction off around static grid bases even player built one's would be amazing.

Check out the pinned Configuration File discussion, it has what you're looking for.

Hi @Meridius_IX / Lucas
I added you on steam to ask you a question but as you do not seem to have accepted me I ask it here ^^

Is it possible to decrease the maximum number of spawn max.
I have a small server and from 17 enemy base the server fart a lead ^^ '
I would like to reduce from 30 to say 5 or 10.
Thank you in advance.

@Meridius_IX / Lucas
After watching the last Engineer Corps Video with W4stedspace, Captain Shack, Texfire, and Splitzie, It made me wonder if their was a way to make the Planetary Installations and Planetary Cargo ship mods have a Tiered system where a ship/base will not spawn until a Tier is unlocked/activated via either a admin chat command or addon event Trigger?

The spawning system does allow for something like that, although I don't think any of the mods that add stations do that specifiically.

if you're trying to build a mod that does this, the instructions to tag the spawngroups are in the discussions area of this mod page :)

Is there a way to call localized encounters? So earth is friendly and alien is full of pirates?

Will this work on other solar system mods?

You might need to reload the game (And it won't work well on really small planets), but there shouldn't really be any issues.

So this should work on manually placed planets? Im planning on playing on the solar system and just want to make sure at least some of the planets have stuff on it

Are you moving through world? Then the bases will spawn

Hi,
nothing is spawning on the quick start earth world. I have downloaded the requirements, and the mod that includes the schematics itself.

I was about to ask how does this work for manually spawned in planets, then I saw your comment Meridus XD Thanks for putting that out there. Maybe add it in the description (if its not there and i'm just blind)

For manually placed planets, try saving/reloading after placing them.

Keep in mind other factors can impact spawning as well; planet size, terrain elevations, etc

I am not quite sure, but structures do not seem to be spawning on manually placed planets. Just wondering if they should or what. I am using surface occupation if that means anything.

@Meridius_IX
"never tell me the odds!" anyway thanks for modding! running from reavers in my serenity build was the best time ive had in se!

It's a very rare thing to encounter, in about approx 50 vanilla encounters, I think only 2 have asteroids attached. I've never seen them personally (only accounts from prople who have and screenshots). Looking at the game files though, I can confirm they exist :P

@Meridius_IX
you've made several encounters mods so you should know what your talking about, but i have 1900+ hours in se and ive never seen a pirate asteroid base so its hard for me to belive you about them spawning on roids normaly ...and i already have 3 gigs worth of mods loaded, how much worse could eem make it?

Bases can spawn on some asteroids, but not the procedural ones. The ones they spawn onto from the Exploration Encounters are Prefab Asteroids, and because they're not procedural, they can really add a nasty chunk to the total world size.

@C4PTRAMPAGE the game already dose that.

@Meridius_IX
what about a mod to spawn pirate bases on procedural asteroids? is that even possible?
