Conquest (Alpha)

This is the humble beginning to a much larger mod (see full goal description below). This mod adds a structure that prevents all damage on tribe members, dinos, and structures within a fairly large area; a neutral zone that can be used to protect all players and tamed dinos regardless of tribe; and structure protectors that protect all structures in range regardless of the owning tribe, but will not protect any players or dinos.

This mod is being designed to be used in conjunction with the AvatARK mod, located here:

This is being uploaded in this early state so we can more easily test the mechanics with more players as we go along.

Admins can spawn in the protector structures with the following command:

To reiterate, the base protections apply to the following:
- Tribe members
- Tribe-owned dinos
- All structures belonging to the owning tribe

In order for the protection to work, the player placing it must be part of the tribe they want it to belong to.

Neutral areas that protect all players, structures, and tamed dinos regardless of tribe can be spawned with the following command:

Structure protectors that protect only structures (regardless of tribe) can be spawned with the following command:

All protector structures will auto-protect structures in range every hour, and they also have a menu option to protect structures immediately.

If you want to ignore doors and storage boxes when protecting structures (for PvP), use the following .ini option:

We also have a server you can join, but you must join our Discord channel first.

In a nutshell, we wanted a way to play PvP but allow PvE players to enjoy the server as well and prevent alpha tribes from taking over the entire map. Our solution is the Conquest mod.

Each tribe would have a permanent safe zone on the map where PvP is disabled and they can build in peace and safety. At the start, the tribes can only harvest materials at their safe zone. In order to get supplies elsewhere, tribes will need to "capture" the area with some sort of placeable structure or other mechanic. Once captured, the tribe can collect resources in that area and build there. The captured areas are not permanent, however, and other tribes can come in and either capture them or destroy them, preventing the first tribe from getting those resources.
We feel like this would allow fun with PvP, but would also let PvE players enjoy the server as well because of the protected safe areas, and tribes would not be able to completely wipe each other off of the server.

Other features of the Conquest mod will include:
- Trading posts that allow nations to trade between each other
- Embassies that allow teleporting between nations
- (As a stretch goal) Carrier dimorphodons to carry messages between nation leaders
