Grey Order PvE Encounters [v0.01.02]

This mod was created by myself (Indo) a long time ago and then shortly after abandoned due to problems with the game at the time, and the massive burnout I had of the game among other issues. However, I have returned to Space Engineers to finish what I started. As I am writing this, I have just restored the mod to how it was when it was abandoned, however I do not plan to stop here, as I am going to continue to improve the mod until I am satisfied with it. You can find the future plans on the Trello board further into the description. Thank you to everyone who is still so supportive and understanding to mod and myself.

This mod is made to add a challenge to Space Engineers, and make space travel a risky thing. Space is by far the most dangerous area, however in the future the 8 planets will have unique and varying difficulties and encounters.

Please report any bugs you find in the comments section - it really makes creating this mod a lot easier.


Using RivalAI and Modular Encounters Spawner, Grey Order PvE Encounters currently hosts 8 ships/encounters, from planetary installations and drones to massive destroyers and capital ships. These ships will spawn and hunt you down with their visual detection (2km~) and hostile signal detection (don't leave those beacons on 50km, or you wont last long). Some encounters are Planetary Installations, varying on the threat scale from a "harmless" satellite dish to a surface to air missile platform. These encounters will spawn according to your PCU in a certain area, and not only attack on planetside, in space too.


I really reccomend you start on Earthlike and make your base underground with heavy defences. Once your PCU reaches high enough to trigger spawns - do not approach anything in a light aircraft. If you think, "Oh, its just a cargo ship, it'll be fine!" Remember this mod is designed to be a challenge.

When you choose to go to space, the ship of your choice will need to have many turrets and a lot of guns. Staying in space will be a good way to ensure your death in a large ship, so you should think about getting to your planet of choice in a hurry.

You will most likely take losses - not every ship that goes to space is going to come back. Not every fighter is going to return to base, be prepared for that.


The release of the mod was disappointing to many, as compared to other mods in the same field, the 8 encounters featured were small. The next major update will bring the mod up to where it should have been at release.
