PvE Wave Defense - Ground and Air - REBF Endless Atmospheric - 1.04

--- Introduction ---

One command base to defend, hostile factories pouring out enemy air and ground vehicles relentlessly. How many can you take down before being overwhelmed?

You start in a command base with a 'shield generator' beacon that you have to defend. Use the buttons in the command base to start the enemy waves at your preferred difficulty and intensity. The starting command base comes with fighters, rovers, and tanks for you to use. There are also allied factories you can activate in the mission control room for reinforcements.

This scenario is a battle playground, where you can swiftly start a state of non-stop slaughter by defending against unlimited enemies. It runs in creative mode by default, so spawning in your blueprints and blowing everything up is encouraged.

Details of how everything works are in the command base's mission control room.

--- Updates ---

10/12/24:
---Fixed enemy light rover factories not broadcasting build messages when starting construction
---Removed one starting AA defence rover from the AFP base
--- Added player-drivable starting vehicles: -
--- 2 Skirmisher light tanks.
--- 2 'Dragonhead' heavy tanks.
--- 1 Bastion heavy tank .

12/12/2024
--- 'Contacts' update introduced bug causing projectors to keep projecting even after turning off.
--- Added logic to turn the projectors on and off again after each print. This gets around the above bug.
--- I've also added a new Vehicle:
--- 1 Atreus Command Vehicle (Mobile tank with 5 torpedo printers! Fully AI automated.)

07/01/2025
--- Updated 'Atreus', added H2 generator + additional hydro tanks to fuel up the missiles.
--- Replaced one S-Goblin with an SG2. Kept one original goblin present since it can be copied without any DLC.
--- Added an SK14, an assault-cannon-based fighter to give players more variety in air gameplay.
--- Cleaned up the controls / component names on the goblins.
--- Added event controllers that unlock and turn off landing gear when entering cockpits to reduce learning curve for new players. Literally just get in and fly.

--- TODO ---

Pretty much finished, overall. Considerations for improvement ---
1. Tweaking the player tanks for fun. Currently they are mostly based around fun custom turrets / looks / memory-efficiency, but they need heavy armour floors and thrusters so they can drive more smoothly.
2. I feel like the light enemy rovers / fighter-bombers should be large-tank hydrogen based, so that they explode more beautifully. They take too long to 'kill-off' currently.
3. RBF Pathfinding is pretty... mediocre. I need to assign unique waypoints not only for each ship, but for each factory copy, which would stop them crashing into each other. However, doing this so mind-numbingly tedious that I'll probably never do it.
4. I'm curious about the new 'WelderWall' mod to see if it has a significant boost to memory efficiency. I've always tried to keep this vanilla for maintainability and ease-of-modding, but this may tempt me.

Let me know your thoughts, or if there's anything you'd like added.

Upcoming:

• Nothing for now. Might make a second video. If the scenario gets popular / attention, I'll fine tune it more.
  
• Next idling project is WeaponCore for the original space version.
