SpaceCraft: Clangs of Liberty (1.195 or earlier)

This mod is no longer being developed. Its source code is available for use to anyone.

Bring AI-controlled factions to Space Engineers! SpaceCraft will spawn AI controlled planet pods in your game, and they will progress much like a normal player. If you're not quite sure what to expect, use Alt+F10 and check the entity list to watch how the AI works.


1. Right click Space Engineers in your library and choose "Properties".
2. Under the "Betas" tab of the Properties window, select version 1.195 (Sparks of the Future) or earlier. It's possible the mod is compatible with other versions as well.
3. Allow Steam to reinstall the game.
4. SpaceCraft requires at least one planet in-world before playing.

• Create a new game or edit the settings of an existing game
  
• Use either a world with planets, or add planets to and empty world
  
• Click the "Mods" button & add "SpaceCraft: Clangs of Liberty"

5. "SpaceCraft: Clangs of Liberty" is a framework mod; you need faction mods too!

• Add whichever factions you'd like to play with or against
  
• Either create your own, or find them on the Workshop

6. AI doesn't operate during Creative gameplay; only in Survival.

• If you want to play Creative with the AI doing their own thing in your world, start the game in Survival and use the F10 menu to enable creative tools.

Don't overload! Each faction is like another player using your computer. Make sure your computer, or your server, can handle the extra load. Also, AI can rapidly chew up the world/pirate PCU block limit, so this may need to be increased.
Faction mods may have more than one faction in them--understand what you're adding.
The AI build simple things slowly. Complex blueprints drastically reduce AI ability to keep up with a normal player's progression, and provide an extremely reduced challenge.
Finally, this mod is a hard, hard labor of love, and it will take time. Bugs and setbacks are expected, so please be courteous and help by sending the logs of any bugs and crashes you encounter.

This mod expands the tech tree to include StarCraft-themed items. Complete quests to unlock Protoss shields and other advanced blocks, obtain Zerg Biomass to construct self-healing blocks, and once you have constructed a jump drive, you unlock Vespene Thrusters. They're twice as powerful as hydrogen!

SpaceCraft can be further configured using its built-in command line interface. Other mods can even invoke these commands using the SpaceCraft API (link below).

Example:

/sc set difficulty 2

The command above would double the resources being collected by the AI factions. Because of the large number of commands available, they are not all listed here. Instead, please consider using the companion app I've created or view the Google doc below:

Q: I don't see any AI when I start the game
A: There are two main reasons this would happen. First, you need to include one or more Factions in addition to Clangs of Liberty. Next, the AI spawns randomly on the same planet you do, so you can use ALT + F10 to observe them. You can also respawn them on different planets using chat commands.

Q: The AI does not attack me (do anything)?
A: Most factions are aggressive (show up in red), and will attack automatically, but some Factions are neutral and allow players to join them. Current neutral factions include ARC, HVS, STAR, and DTMP. If you want a neutral faction to attack you, declare war on them. It also takes the AI time to build offensive units so you might not get attacked for a while. The difficulty can be scaled up to impossible levels. Players can increase the difficulty setting, refinery speed, or spawn prefabs in for them.

Q: Some grids are just sitting there?
A: This mod can potentially use up a large amount of memory and processing power, so I've made most of the AI units remain stationary to conserve resources. If you wish to turn off the Engineer animations, run the following command: /sc set animations false

Q: Does this work with other mods?
A: It works well with most mods and no major conflicts have been reported. If you are having difficulties and are running other mods, please try hitting F11 once you're in game to see if any other mods you are using have critical errors. Some mods either have bad updates pushed out or were working and then became broken by space engineers patches. It's advised that you remove any mods with errors in white text unless the mod developers can fix them. If you still think there is a conflict with another mod, I'm happy to take a look.

[DEDICATED SERVER OWNERS] Be sure to disable the cleanup setting "Distance From Players" and increase world and pirtate PCU block limit to give AI room to build. You might also need to manually run the following command when using Modular Encounter spawner and double check config file if grids are disappearing:

/MES.Settings.OtherNPCs.UseCleanupSettings.false

Q: The survival kit is working automatically?
A: This was added originally for the AI but was left in since I preferred it. You can disable the automatic queuing and gravel removal with the following command: /sc set manualkits true
