This Conquest mod is entirely in-game and does not require SESE or anything special except adding it to your mod list and optionally configuring it in game with slash commands.

This mod was written for my server: Eclipse
Feel free to stop by! Just add to favorites in steam using eclipseserver.space (no website)

For those unfamiliar with Conquest game mode:
Your primary objective is to obtain points by establishing conquest bases to "conquer" territory on planets, moons, and asteroids. Every (30 minutes, configurable) each person is given victory points (and item rewards if configured) for each conquest base depending on the territory it conquers (different amount of points for each, configurable), how far it is broadcasting (how easily it is seen, configurable), and how long it has been active (configurable).

Requirements for a conquest base (vary depending on mod configuration):

• Build a Conquest Beacon broadcasting farther than the configured broadcast distance (default is 1000m)
  
• Make sure you own the Conquest Beacon.
  
• Conquest Beacon is on a station (aka static grid).
  
• The broadcast range of the Conquest Beacon does not intersect with another base's broadcast range (then those bases would be conquering the same territory).
  To put it another way: The sum of the broadcast ranges of the two bases must be less than the distance between their Conquest Beacons.
  
• Base is within an inclusion zone (if inclusion zones are on).
  
• Base is not located within an exclusion zone (There are no exclusion zones defined by default) Note the base can still conquer area inside the exclusion zone if bases are configured to conquer everything within broadcast (just keep broadcast range in mind when configuring them).

if WithinBroadcast is set to true in the config the base only needs to have a planet/moon/asteroid within it's broadcast range (if there are no planets/moons in range it can conquer MANY asteroids).
if WithinBroadcast is set to false in the config (default) the base needs to be on a planet/moon/asteroid. (technically within it's boundingbox)

If you include [Conquest] in the name of an LCD/TextPanel then in the public title include a keyword for the information you want to display, it will display that information on the LCD and keep it updated whenever someone is nearby to see it. Note that all the information available through the LCD is also available it's corresponding command.

Below is a summary of the accepted keywords in the "public title" text field

By directly editing the ConquestConfig.xml file you can have almost complete control over what is rewarded by conquest.

ConquestConfig.xml is located in the save file for each save (\Saves\WorldName\Storage\692171157.sbm_Conquest.scripts\ConquestConfig.xml).
This file is generated and overwritten on save. You'll need to start and save a game with the mod then exit, edit the file, and start the game again.

I could do this via slash commands or a nice little text file but I'm getting lazy at this point.

Valid types for ConqBody are Planet, Moon, Asteroid.
Valid types for ConqItem are Ingot, Ore, Component, AmmoMagazine
ConqChanceItem Chance is the chance per point of receiving that amount of whatever item you wanted for the reward. (.01 is 1% chance per point)

Here is an example for a ConqBody:

This will always reward 250 Iron Ingots and 75kg of Nickel Ore.

It will pick two at random from 50 Steel Plates and 25 Construction Component (it could reward 100 Steel Plate or 50 Construction Component or 50 Steel Plates and 25 Construction Components).

It will pick one at random from 10 Magnesium Ingot and 10kg of Uranium Ore. (10 Magnesium Ingots ORE 10kg of Uranium Ore)

It will have a 5% chance per point to award 10 25mm NATO ammo boxes AND 1% chance per point to award 10 200mm missiles.

Note that these amounts are PER POINT except for the chance items. So a planet base worth 5 points would get 250 * 5 Iron Ingots and 75kg * 5 of Nickel Ore.

The rest of this file can be changed via slash commands in game.
