Biometal Wars Scenario

Description
Introduction
This is combat scenario set in the universe of the Battlezone Combat Commander game. It utilizes MES mechanics from Scion Convergence and ISDF Fleet MES mods, to deliver best experience. This world provides battle-oriented progression to the game. To advance further, you need to make missions that expands ISDF territory and push back the enemy.

Lore
Once it had formed, the ISDF began constructing outposts throughout the solar system, many being on the sites of old Cold War bases. The ISDF also began to push boundaries in the Solar system, building bases as far afield as Pluto.

The Cerberus Station on Pluto has been attacked. The connection to the base has been lost. With assistance of Commander Shabayev, you will be sent to the surface of Pluto to investigate and get the base back up and running. What dangers lurk on the surface of this rock? What happened to the Cerberus Station crew? This is for you to discover.

Spoiler Tips
The scenario is very difficult. It requires the best skills of the engineer to survive on the battlefield. If you have trouble figuring out what to do, read below tips:
  • Locate the button panel on the ship and press the button to start the mission.
  • The Condor ship will land you safely on the surface of Pluto. Wait until the hovercrafts are automatically unloaded.
  • Open you GPS menu and turn on the Cerberus Station GPS location. Navigate to the base.
  • Don't worry about Shabayev, she's not essential to the mission.
  • Once you make your way to Cerberus Station, explore it and find tools. Datapads will give you clues to side missions.
  • You need to repair and rebuild systems that are essential to your survival. You may want to have working survival kit, O2/H2 generator and reliable power source.
  • The station isn't yours so you won't have the access to all of the blocks. If you need to acces one, grind it down and build again. Be mindful of the ISDF reputation though. If you go below 500 reputation, the station's turrets will start to attack your grids.
  • You're a solider, not engineer here. You have to learn blocks before you will be able to build them. Find the block you're interested in and grind it down to learn the technology.
  • Remember, you're here to reestablish connection with ISDF. Do whatever it takes to complete the mission. You will probably need some bigger guns for the job to be done.

This is Beta
The scenario and MES mods are in beta development, which means there's only one mission available at the moment. More missions and NPCs are coming in the later updates. You won't have to start over the world, when they come.

Alternative Capital Ship respawn
If you have stronger PC, you can try the alternative respawn option at the beginning of this mission. To do that, you have to add the ISDF Capital Ship mod to the game. Follow the instructions from the provided link. Be warned, this ship is huge and will probably take 20-30 min to load into the game.

You have deposits that contain Si on both Pluto and Charon. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Currently in Scion territory there's only one NPC that should be more challenging.

Ok, it was quite fun.
I am going to explore further away from the center of the map to see the spawns
While I am not a fan of weaponcore, I am intrigued by Scion Mod the further away from the center you get the harder the spawn.

Also, a quick suggestion If you can add a Silicon Ore source to the map of the planet, it would be great. Handmining stone to get silicon is boring. The only other regular source I found was the cockpit of the Scion small ships. But that is the first thing that gets destroyed when using weapons like the flechette launcher

When the mission say reestablish communication and return to the capital ship what does it mean?

I killed all the jammer structures around and the ship convoy trying to escape, repaired the antenna dish (replace it because it was shot down by a spawn at one point) also repaired a lot of the base.

the only thing happening is a lot of ISDF small ship spawn around now. and also many matriarch and escorts

But the original ship that brought me down despawned a long time ago, and when I tried to go to the original landing site nothing happens

Is there something else to the scenario on this planet? or can I go explore space and the others planets for different spawns?

That's because they are not remote controllers.
REV4666 12 Jul @ 6:39am 
Unsure if this is intended or not but i cannot learn the remote controller
I grinded a few of them from the scouts that keep spawning but i cannot repair or build one
Rezun  [author] 11 Jul @ 7:03am 
That's correct. Thanks

found a 5th engineer with that grinder thx

while digging a bit a found some of the ores kamacite i think (a mix supposed to be Fe,Ni,Co) but when I mine it it turn into S-10 pistol magazines that cannot be used in any way

I remembered this issue and checked the mod list, it is missing the better stone mod
Better Deep Scarce Stone needs it to work correctly.

You need both mod installed, added to your world, and the mod better deep scarce stone above Better Stone

after adding it to the mod list the S-10 pistol magazines transformed into the correct ores and could be refined

You missed the grinder. There is one to find.
REV4666 10 Jul @ 7:35pm 
Ok I got stuck:early on: after landing and arriving at the station I found 4 dead engineers the survival kit, lots of welders and weapons and their ammo a pair of drills found most of the parts for the survival kit except for 4 motors and no grinders at all

so I cannot finish repairing the survival kit because i'm missing parts for it nor make any tools to get those parts

so I gave myself a basic grinder in admin mode to just get going.
I just wanted to know if that was the path we were supposed to go (finding a grinder) or if there was something more that i was missing
Rezun  [author] 30 Jun @ 5:17am 
Yep, mine too. I tried to recreate Battlezone in SE. It's possible, only requires a lot of work.

Yeah, the landing can be a surprise, but hey, it's survival after all. The worst it's when the Subjugator managers to hunt you down before you land.
