Wave Spawner (Space)

This mod is an Add-On for the Modular Encounters Spawner that enables a new spawn mode called the Wave Spawner.



The Wave Spawner sets a random timer that goes off every 33-60 minutes (configurable in Spawner Settings). Once the timer reaches the time limit, it will temporarily suspend the regular Spawning and begin spawning a number of Random Space Cargo Ship encounters near players. Once it finishes, it will set a new timer and allow the regular spawner to resume as well.

When determining where to spawn waves of encounters, it will group players in clusters of 15km. Each cluster will have its own wave spawned near them.



The target audience of this mod would be either solo players, or multiple players in a Co-Op setting where everybody is roughly in the same area.

This mod is not ideal for servers with large amounts of players spread out across the game world. Using it in those situations would likely bring the server to its knees since each group of players would get a wave of encounters spawned nearby.



The Wave Spawner Does Not Add New Ships To Fight On Its Own. See Below:

This mod shines when combined with PvE encounter mods that add enemies that attack players (eg: Corruption, Reavers, etc). Otherwise, its more likely to spawn a whole bunch of regular/passive cargo ships in your vicinity. You can also specify certain encounters that you only want to spawn as waves (explained further below).



This mod does not spawn waves on planets (some small moons may be exception to this, since some space cargo ships can still trigger spawn from the surface). After this mod has matured, I will look into a planetary variant.



The Modular Encounters Spawner has received an update that includes all the settings for this mod. They can be found in the config file for SpaceCargoShips. Click here for my guide on editing the configuration.[gist.github.com]

The configuration allows you to adjust the behavior in many different ways:

• EnableWaveSpawner - You can enable the wave spawner without this mod present. If the mod is loaded, it will override this value.
  
• UseSpecificRandomGroups - You can specify certain spawngroups that will only be spawned by the Wave Spawner. This is useful if you wanted to only have a certain type(s) of enemy attack (eg: Corruption Fighter Drones, Reaver Frigates, etc)
  
• MinWaveSpawnTime - The minimum time between Wave Spawns (in seconds)
  
• MaxWaveSpawnTime - The maximum time between Wave Spawns (in seconds)
  
• TotalSpawnEventsPerCluster - How many spawns will appear at each player cluster during Wave Spawning
  
• TimeBetweenWaveSpawns - The time between spawning each SpawnGroup during Wave Spawning.
  
• PlayerClusterDistance - The max distance around players for them to be considered within a cluster.

The scene in the mod thumbnail was created by setting Corruption Fighter Drones as the only encounter that can be spawned by the Wave Spawner, while also including the Advanced Energy Cannons and NPC Weapon Upgrades mods.



If you experience any unusual behavior, please let me know in the comments. If you are getting game/server crashing, PLEASE INCLUDE THE GAME LOG IN YOUR REPORT.
