Commander Survival Kit (A new SIM Mod)

[Zeldafanboy]

I can’t wait to play this

How could I install the early access mod from Github? Will it work in multiplayer?

[CDRMV]

@zeldafanboy
Here is the Link to the official GitHub Repository of this Project:
https://github.com/CDRMV/Commander-Survival-Kit

How to Download:
On the GitHub Page you should See an Green Button with the Titel "Code". Click on the Button and you will See the Option "Download ZIP"

How to Install:
The new Units are included in the Mod: Commander Survival Kit Units. Open the downloaded Commander-Survival-Kit-main.zip. You will See the Commander Survival Kit Units Folder inside of the included Mods Folder. Extract the Commander Survival Kit Units into your Mods Folder and activate the Mod in the Mod Manager. Does Commander Survival Kit Units requires the other two Mods inside of the Mods Folder of the ZIP File? No Commander Survival Kit Units is an Standalone Mod and doesn't requires anything. If you have any Questions or Problems during the Installation let me know I will help you.

Is this Mod playable in Multiplayer:
All new Units (except the Underground Units, Amphibious Transports and the Bunker Prototype) have AI Support. So the new Units will probably appear as AI Enemies in Skirmish Matches against the AI. The Mod should also Work in Multiplayer as Well.

Keep in Mind:
Commander Survival Kit Units and the other Mods on this GitHub Repository for this Project are still in Development and will get new Content (New Units and Features), Improvements, Bug Fixes and Balance Changes in the next upcoming Early Access Updates for them.
An new Version of the Mod: Commander Survival Kit with the Reinforcements and Fire Support Managers is in Development as Well. If you find Something like Bugs or Balance Issues or do you have any Suggestions or Ideas let me know about that. I will look into it.

Looking forward for your Feedback.
Stay tuned for more Updates.
Best regards

@cdrmv Thanks for the info! By the way, was the updated Amphibous assault ship model not implemented yet? The one in-game looks different from the model showcased earlier. Anyway, keep up the great work!

[CDRMV]

@stoma1233
Yes the Amphibious Assault Ship haven't been added to the Mod yet.
This one is the regular UEF Tech 3 Aircraft Carrier, which is already included in CSK Units and Ingame:

The UEF Tech 3 Amphibious Assault Ship will be added into CSK Units soon which is that one:

That means:
There are two different Ships (Units) with their own features and purposes.

[stoma1233]

Ahhh okay ty!

[CDRMV]

Hello everyone,

This time the two Cybran Scorpions in CSK Units have get an new Design.
The old ones where okay but not perfect in terms of Quality.
But see for yourself:

"Death Stalker" - Tech 3 Armored Siege Walker

"King Stalker" - Experimental Siege Walker

Hope you like them and stay tuned for more Updates.

I haven't looked at your work in some time - you've made great progress from the early days - that's for sure.

Hello everyone,
its time for a new Development Update of this Project.
This time I have these following new Toys for you:

"Gipsy Omega" - UEF Experimental Assault Mech
A large bipedal Mech, which marks the tip of the UEF Robot Engineering.
This Mech is Designed for three Main purposes:
To Destroy enemy Defense Lines and Armies
To Destroy enemy Experimental Units
To fight against large organic Creatures (Kaijus)

Primary Weapons:
2x Super Heavy Hand Plasma Cannons
8x Chest Anti Matter Artillery Guns

Access to the new Weapon Random System:
If you build this Mech it will appear in 3 other additional Variations:
One will have access to 2 Tactical Missile Launchers (8 Silos in Total)
The another one will have access to two Long Range Artillery Cannons.
The last one is the Base Configuration with the two Primary Weapons only
A fourth one is planned to appear as well but this will be revealed later.

The Design of this Mech is based on these References:
Iron Man (Marvel)
Gipsy Danger (Movie: Pacific Rim)
Striker Eureka (Movie: Pacific Rim)
Barga (Earth Defense Force 5 and 6)
Walking Fortress Balam (Earth Defense Force 4.1)

"Nix" - UEF Tech 3 Multifunctional Assault Mech
CSK Units will introduce a new type of Tech 3 Unit for all Factions, which has access to the Weapon Random System and the Jetpack Ability. The Nix is one of these Units for the UEF and appears only once in the Buildlist.
Each Mech will mostly get an different Random Weapon Layout after being build but similarities are possible as well.
This System is actually more pratical compared to introduce several different Versions of the same Unit into the Buildlist.
So the Nix appears only one time in the Buildlist and prevent it to overflow it with its different Variations.

Currently these Weapons are supported by the Weapon Random System:

• Gauss Cannons
• Plasma Cannons
• Gatling Gun
• Plasma Gatling Gun
• Flamethrower
• Missile Launcher (SAM)
• Dispersal Artillery (shots 6 Shells with low Damage)
• Artillery
• Heavy Anti Matter Artillery

Planned Weapons:

• Plasma Shotgun
• Missile Launchers
• Maser Cannon
• Plasma Beam Cannon

The Design of this Mech is based on the Powered Exoskeleton Mech "Nix" form EDF 5 and 6.

Both new Units are now available in Early Access on Github
Included in the Mod: Commander Survival Kit: Units

Stay tuned for next Development Updates.
Best regards

Are you sure they also aren't inspired by Thunder, from Super Giant Robot Brothers?

[CDRMV]

@rama
I didn't use any References from Super Gaint Robot Brothers.
Regarding to the Gipsy Omega. I currently think about it to make an new Design for the Head of the Mech, which will have angular and round Elements. The Gipsy Omega is a further Development of an another Mech, which has an more angular Design. This Predecessor will soon also be available in CSK Units but at Tech 3. More information about this unit will be presented later.

[CDRMV]

Small Change on the Model of the Gipsy Omega:
After getting several Feedbacks about the old Head of the Gipsy Omega, which doesn't really fit its Design. I have decide to create an new Head which has angular and rounded Elements. I have use the Head of Optimus Prime as an Inspiration for this new Head Design for the Gipsy. Hope you like it.

[Zeldafanboy]

I actually liked the old heads better, I thought overall it was still recognizable as a UEF unit

[ComradeStryker]

This is amazing work.
I'm so happy you keep adding more and more.
I'm surprised you haven't run out of ideas yet!
Keep it up!

[CDRMV]

@zeldafanboy
This is generally a matter of taste. Personally, I think both Head Designs are good. I Still also have the old head in an older version of CSK Units. In principle I could add the old head to the model alongside the new one in an Head Random System. So If you build the Mech each will appear in the game with either the new head or the old one. But would be a purely cosmetic feature.

@comradestryker
Glad to hear you like it.
More is coming soon.

Hello everyone,
here is a new Development Update of this Project.

4 new Aeon units and 1 new UEF Unit has been added into the Mod.
Lets Start with the new Aeon Toys:

"Deroy (Short Leg Variant)" - Tech 3 Assault Tripod
The Short Leg Version of the Deroy Tripod is an really Dangerous Walker for enemy Land Units or Structures. It is armed with an single Oblivion Cannon on its Head, which works similar like an Artillery Cannon. The most Dangerous Aspect comes from the 3 Legs of the Walker. Several Rapid Fire Laser cannons are installed on the Legs, which gives the Deroy an Dangerous Appearence in Close Combat Situations. However the lack of any Anti Air Defenses can be used to counter them directly.

Information:
Both Deroys are buildable by Tech 3 SACU's and Engineers.
Both Deroys will eventually get access to the Weapon Random and Enhancement Upgrade System, which gives them additional Weapons primary located on the Head Section of the Tripods. The Design of both Deroys are based on the Deroys from EDF 4.1, 5 and 6.

"Deroy (Long Leg Variant)" - Experimental Assault Tripod
Basically an Improved Version of the Short Leg Version of the Deroy with longer Legs and additional Leg Laser Cannons.

"Royal Guardian" - Experimental Quadruped Fortress
A large 4 legged Walker, which has access to an small Hangar for Air Units. That means this Land Unit can Transport (not build) a small Squadron of Air Units similar like an Aircraft Carrier. The Walker is armed with two Heavy Long Range Oblivion Cannons and several Pulse Secondary Turrets for Close Combat The Design of this Walker is based on the Quadruped Fortress from EDF 4.1. This Unit is buildable by Tech 3 SACU's and Tech 3 Enginners.

"Calypso" - Tech 3 Heavy Walker
An advanced Tripod, which has access to several different Weapon Systems. So this Unit will later get access to new Abilities, the Enhancement Upgrade and the Weapon Random System in the next upcoming Updates. The Design of this walker is based on the Science Walker of the Hierarchy from the Game Universe at War. This Unit is buildable by Tech 3 SACU's and Tech 3 Enginners.

New Design for the M720 HIMARS
The UEF Tech 3 Mobile Missile Missile Battery has get an new Design.
Now it looks more like an futuristic Version of an Missile Battery Tank from Reality.

"MA45 RAM" - Tech 3 Mobile Anti Air Missile System
This Tank uses an modified Version of the previous HIMARS Model.
But with an reworked Turret to fire Anti Air Missiles to enemy Air Units.

All new Units and the new HIMARS Design are now available in Early Access for Testing. They are included in the Mod: Commander Survival Kit Units.

Looking forward for your Feedback.
Stay tuned for more Updates.
