Xenon backup

Description
Xenons, the greatest threat to all life forms in the X universe. But something went wrong, where is their supreme power? Or maybe you even exterminated them already? Or is it just rumours and you just lost your last fleet under their steamroll?
This mod tries to give a solution to each of the questions. A new faction has been added to the game. Terraformer drones are the pre-xenon prototypes that have been deactivated and forgotten for a long time. But now the connection has been restored and they are starting to setup their own unique infrastructure.
A cluster with two sectors has been added to the map. One of the sectors is an industrial center and is isolated. The second is connected to each of the xenon core sectors. Once the stations are built, TF drones are ready to go.
TF drones can: stay neutral; supply xenons with resources; assist in xenon's warfare; sabotage xenon's mining operations.
The mod is not designed for direct interaction with the player. Also, don't expect immediate changes. The initial construction of industrial stations will take more than 15 hours. Further production of powerful fleets (military or haulers) takes many hours.
A brief list of what has been implemented:
- New unique infrastructure based on the processing of hydrogen into heavy metals;
- TF drones' warehouse and shipyards for the fleet production;
- Preparation and dispatch of fleets to xenon sectors (assist mode);
- Preparation and dispatch of groups of "xenon infrastructure disruptors" (resist mode);
- Liberation of core xenon sectors (only if the sectors are not owned by the player);
- Rebuilding and/or reinforcing of xenon shipyards;
- Building reinforced defensive xenon stations;
- Missile systems for xenon defense stations;
- Building shortcuts between core xenon sectors;
- Mini-plot to control the behavior of TF drones.
PS: This is a debug version so expect ~2 MB of logs per hour which are located in the "My Documents\Egosoft\X4\<accountid>\logs\xenbackup".

Nvm shouldve tried it out before asking. Great mod btw. Ive always wanted the HUB back in some usable fashion, and this is perfect.

how do you start the mini plot to control the drones?

Is this 6.0 compatible?

6.0 compatible?

Same as below comment; Great concept, but even things that had names before now have =readtext... etc. Also seems to have strange dependencies, like the luxury satellite mod (which would break many of my other mods). Had to unsubscribe.

Great concept, as the xenon always get wiped out pretty quick, and this would give them a way to come back from annihilation. However it seems your mod has a lot of issues with unlisted dependencies and other minor issues according to others here.

@Zero_Sum_Outcomes, for compatibility if you use mentioned mod (a new production method for those wares, used in the randomly generated layout of tfd ships).
