You also misunderstand. It's not a bug, it's a feature that's deliberately coded into the game.

You won't get more than one of the first without expanding 'regionWeights', and no more than one of the second without making a new deployment or some other way to bypass it.

Why camp this door, though? It doesn't seem like a good tactic.

Normally I do it like this:
- gather a few people near the door;
- next turn, shoot whoever can be seen inside;
- next turn, storm the building and cut down anyone who opposes within (usually takes 2 turns).

It works pretty much every time and I don't lose people, unless something goes really wrong. Camping sounds to me like giving away the initiative for no tangible benefit.

I admit it's not my favourite mission, though.
I want to change the game, focus on assault the alien base and not on defending our bases.
1) What and where to edit to increase the chance of an enemy base spawning. What exactly is responsible for ninja bases, academies, etc.
2) How to reduce the risk of assault my base.

No simple answer because these are spawned from the standard mission carousel. Here's the link to the holy bible:

If all you want is more bases, disregarding the complex mission generation tables, you can add something like this under missionScripts in Piratez_Factions.rul (or better, make a submod with just this in a rule file):
Code: [Select]
missionScripts:
  - type: alienBase
    missionWeights:
      0:
        STR_ALIEN_BASE: 100
        STR_ALIEN_BASE_ACADEMY: 100
#        STR_ALIEN_BASE_GUILD: 100
#        STR_ALIEN_BASE_CHURCH: 100
        STR_MISSION_SWAY_GOVT: 100
    firstMonth: 0 #8
    useTable: false
    executionOdds: 100 #5
    startDelay: 1000
    randomDelay: 1000 #30000
Tweak these numbers as desired (right now, it's set up for testing, so you see the base missions appear almost as soon as you start the game).

Note that proper alien bases only seem to come through infiltration (Sway Local Govt) missions, so you also get infiltrated. If you want space alien bases without infiltration, you'll need to do some extra work.

|

Now that's different. It is about what one would consider a better method of RNG for mission gen but it has nothing to do with some missions supposedly 'pushing out' others. It's about how a single unique mission interacts with a region instead. (in the first example I assume the mission could run multiple times if you have bases in more than 1 region)

It's the same thing all along, although in retrospect I can see why you thought differently.

I didn't realise people were still using mission tables, so wasn't careful enough to word my statement so it'd be clear that the limitation only applies to the scripts.



And, yes, if you have bases in multiple regions, you can have one such retaliation per region. Multiple bases in the same region will only get one.

Will this really work? Can you do this and test it or just do it and upload it to the mod site? I have very little time lately, I will only be ready to play in a month. And then I’ll get to the assault on the bases in a couple of weeks, at best. Since I will play no more than a couple of hours a day. I don’t want to spoil the safe if it turns out there is a bug or there are too many bases.

I mean, I tested it. The missions generate, the bases get built. Just paste the contents into a new .rul file, tweak the numbers and give it a go.

Since I don't know what you might consider 'too many bases', I can't really help with that. I haven't played Piratez in years, so any balancing you'll have to do yourself. If it becomes too much, you can always either debug-kill a base, or just delete it from the save.

If all you want is more bases, disregarding the complex mission generation tables, you can add something like this under missionScripts in Piratez_Factions.rul (or better, make a submod with just this in a rule file):
Code: [Select]
missionScripts:
  - type: alienBase
    missionWeights:
      0:
        STR_ALIEN_BASE: 100
        STR_ALIEN_BASE_ACADEMY: 100
#        STR_ALIEN_BASE_GUILD: 100
#        STR_ALIEN_BASE_CHURCH: 100
        STR_MISSION_SWAY_GOVT: 100
    firstMonth: 0 #8
    useTable: false
    executionOdds: 100 #5
    startDelay: 1000
    randomDelay: 1000 #30000
Tweak these numbers as desired (right now, it's set up for testing, so you see the base missions appear almost as soon as you start the game).

Note that proper alien bases only seem to come through infiltration (Sway Local Govt) missions, so you also get infiltrated. If you want space alien bases without infiltration, you'll need to do some extra work.
How are the bases registered in the saves? I want to see how many bases have spawned.

Hello, not necessairly a bug but more of a gameplay balancing issue: just wanted to point out also that in am in the very end of aug 2601 and just finished another warehouse wars misison (loot sell debriefing screenshot attached), but i never seem to get the guild stapler, in some gone-wrong past run i got it from thestranded govt agent mission, so seems that the former kind in not likes to give it instead the stranded ones!

What is the % of chance to spawn in the ww missions? I'd set respectively 80% and 40% for ww and stranded, so please in next version somebody might take care? Thanks

Edit: attached savegame

You got the clip in there. I don't believe it's possible to get it to spawn without the stapler.

As you can see in the "item list", the chances of getting the stapler on the ground are pretty low, however hostesses have a very high chance of coming equipped with it. Also, If all you need is the tech you can get it from interrogations/data disk.

Particularly I've never had trouble getting the tech one way or another, unlike other stuff.
