    @resin_smoker
    That Sounds very promising.
    I will Check Out the Code soon.
    Next to of an Crater I think this Code could be useful too to Create Terrian Cracks for Earthquakes. CSK Units will include a few Units which will cause a few Natural Disasters. An Vulcanic Eruption, Earthquake (Underground Units and Seismic Defense) and a few more. These Natural Disasters will appear in the Sim Mod Commander Survival Kit in an new Section as Well. But a few of them will be created/appear in an different Way compared in CSK Units.

    Here are a few Video Presentations of a few Natural Disasters, which I have already created:

    Volcano

    Earthquake

    Thunderstorm
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/commander-survival-kit-csk/videos/thunderstorm-preview#imagebox

    Regarding to the Wof Mod.
    I think this could be usable for my Tornados. Seeing several Land Units and Props flying around of an Tornado would Look Epic i some Ways

    Regarding to an Bridge:
    As I remember correctly Balthazar has helped Gnio to Create an functional Bridge for the Game and introduce it into Gnios Black Mesa Mod. Unfortunately I didn't have Seen it so far personally how he has created it. I Just have read it somewhere on Discord in the past. I think he had probably use the Same Way as you have mentioned by changing the Terrain to Create an Bridge.

      Hello everyone,
      Just want to present you a Small Development Update this time. As you know the Commander Survival Kit Project will introduce Natural Disasters into the Game.
      Last Year I have created an Volcano which was using two different 3D Models and fires Lava Bombs around it.

      You can See the old Volcano here:
      https://www.moddb.com/mods/commander-survival-kit-csk/videos/vulcano-preview4#imagebox

      However I have fully rework the Volcano in its Appearence in the Game.
      And this opens the Door to add new Features to it.
      The Volcano itself is No longer an 3D Model.
      He is now generated by Terrain Deformation.

      Big Thanks goes to Balthazar for His Crater Mod

      You can See here a few Screenshots:

      04be3d19-2c1f-4259-8389-57841ca43528-image.png

      Of course the Volcano will appear in different Variations depends on the Terraintype.

      Volcano (Show/Ice Map Version):
      ac29c250-5ffd-489c-a0e2-a34a98f96207-image.png

      Volcano (Desert Version):

      0e1e79af-09be-46c3-ae89-00f9be63cd98-image.png
      And some more will be added soon.

      What are the Features of the Volcano in General:

      Lava Bombs:
      Lava Projectiles which will be Shot Out of the Volcano Crater.
      They cause devastating Damage to Units, but they Impact Location is Random around the Volcano.

      The following two Features are controllable by the Player, which has created the Volcano.

      Pyroclastic Flow:
      Very hot Coulds created by Ash and Lava which moves down of an Volcano Flank,
      They causes devastating Damage to Units and are able to Move on Water.
      The Pyroclastic Flow is using an Movable Dummy Amphibious Unit

      Lava Flow (Currently in Development):
      The current Lava Flow is just an Placeholder Texture.
      But the Final Version will Work similar Like an Pyroclastic Flow with an Dummy Unit. However instead of Moving on the Water they will be able to Move on Seabed for an short time,
      The Lava Flow will cools down in Water and Create new Terrain (Islands), which you can use to build additional Bases.

      The Volcano will appear in different Variations:
      For example as an Shield Volcano, Strato Volcano and so on.

      Does the Volcano Supports Save Games:
      Yes the Terrain Deformation of the Volcano will be saved in Save Games as Well.

      I will prepare an Demonstration Video soon, where you can See the Current Stage of the Volcano Ingame.

      Stay tuned for more, because CSK Units will get the First Seraphim Units soon.
      Best regards

          @cdrmv Good to hear! Take all the time you need, like I said before, this is the best stuff I've seen for Supreme Commander in years (maybe even a decade at this point lol). Plus, it's not like you're not still releasing all of your additions on GitHub anyway, so we can still enjoy all the new stuff while you develop it ^^

Additionally this Air Unit comes with an Prototype of my Anti Air Missile Flare System for preview Testing. The Flare System Checks of any enemy Anti Air Unit in range and will deploy the Flare Projectiles to intercept the Anti Air Missiles. If the Factory Containers are going to be dropped on an Location the Air Unit will use the Flare System as well to make you know the Containers have been arrived on the Target Location.

            This Air Unit will later get two alternative Features for the Factory Containers to drop an special Designed Defense turret or Support Devices to give your Land Units a few useful Buffs.

              Hello everyone,
              its time for an new Development Update of this Project.

              Commander Survival Kit (Sim Mod):

              Callable Airstrikes and Air Reinforcements:
              Finally after some Experiments with the Code:
              Callable Airstrikes and Air Reinforcements by the two Managers are now working in the Campaign. The Code behind the Spawn Mechanic has been Improved to check whether the spawnposition is in the playable area of ​​the map. Additionally it checks which Gamemode (Campaign, Skirmish or whatever) the Player is currently playing to load the correct Spawn Code for them.

              9463b5da-c0fe-46ed-ae1f-816677458a80-image.png

              The Campaign Fix is now available in the official Github Version of the Sim Mod: Commander Survival Kit and will be included in the next upcoming official Release. If you use an old Version of the Commander Survival Kit please delete it first and install then the Github Version.

              Please Note:
              There is an small Issue in terms of the Disappear Mechanic, where Airstrike Air Units doesn't disappear if they reach the other Side of the Playable Area (Map). As always, I'm already looking for a fix. So stay tuned for upcoming Updates regarding to this.


              Commander Survival Kit Units:

              4 new Seraphim units has been added into the Mod

              'Isanthu Asthum' - Tech 3 Recycling Tripod
              A 3 Legged Walker armed with an Reclaiming Cannon.The Improved Targeting System of the Cannon allows it to reclaim enemy Land and Naval Units in an specific Range automatically. So this Walker use Reclaim only as its Main Weapon and comes with an large amount of Health Points. The Design is based on the Hierarchy Reaper Drone Walker from the Videogame Universe at War.

              Guide to use it correctly:
              Order the Unit to Move in the near of an Enemy Unit. If it stops it will start the Reclaim Process automatically. The Range of it is a Bit smaller to its Visible Range.

              a5cbe921-ddee-4bb5-9223-8d907737ef60-image.png

              'Isanthu Kthan' - Tech 3 Combat Multifunction Tripod
              A 3 Legged Walker which comes with 5 different Weapon Variations. That means this Unit comes with the Weapon Random and Enhancement Upgrade System to support several different Weapon Layouts as Variations. The Tripod gets access to an Strong Sniper Turret, Rapid Fire Energy Blasters or Beam Cannons. All three can appear as an single or mixed Weapon Layout Configuration. Since the tripod does not have a fully rotatable torso, it must be positioned strategically. Only then can he fire his weapons. The Design is based on the Tripod from the Video Game Half Life and on the BBC Tripod.

                Regarding to the Issue about the Disappear Mechanic of the Callable Airstrikes.
                After a few additionally Analyzes by myself the Code itself is working in General. I have notice that the Air Units will disappear mostly If they reach the Border of the Playable Area/Map. However they will Not always disappear If Enemy Units are in thier Range for some Reason. So sometimes they will start to do an Attack Run after that until No Enemy Units are in thier Range. If the Airstrike Air Units are in Idle Stage again they will disappear as expected. Even If there are inside the Map, which can look funny sometimes. An Possibile Cause of this Problem could be an Overlap of the Playable Areas on the Map, which Breaks the Code a Bit for a few Areas but that is an theory by myself. I will still Look to find an fix for it, which I can't clearly give an garantee for it. So maybe we will need to Life with this small funny Issue in the future.

                    Hello everyone,
                    Just want to let you know I'm working on several new Stuff for the Commander Survival Kit this time.
                    Regarding to the Survey of the Introduction of callable Experimental Reinforcements:

                    Although there wasn't much participation in the survey here, the results on my Discord server were clearer. Callable Experimental Reinforcements will be added into the Reinforcements Manager of the Commander Survival Kit soon. They will be available for Land, Air and Naval. However they will be optional. That means a new Lobby Option to manage them will be added to the Mod as Well. So Players will be able to Enable or Disable the Access of Callable Experimental Reinforcements for thier Matches. The Access of Callable Experimental Reinforcements is usually disabled.

                    Additionally I'm working on several other new Stuff for the Commander Survival Kit:

                    For example new types of callable Air Strikes for each Faction.
                    New Drop Mechanics for callable UEF Land and Naval Reinforcements.
                    A more sorted Available Units Section of the Reinforcements Manager (Tech 1, Tech 2, Tech 3 and Experimental)
                    As mentioned above on the upcoming Introduction of callable Experimental Reinforcements
                    Two new buildable Structures (what they do will be revealed later)
                    Callable Dropable Turrets
                    And more.

                    Stay tuned for upcoming News and Updates related the topics above.

                      How long until the full release of your mod?
                      I just redownloaded FAF after my hiatus and remembered your mod.
                      It was a blast to play with the previous versions!

                        If everything goes according to plan, we will see the next official version of the Commander Survival Kit (Version: 1.20) between Christmas and New Year's Eve this year. If not then in January or February 2025 Until the new version of the Commander Survival Kit is released, you can download the official developer version from GitHub at any time. The Developer Version will be expanded with new functions and features with the next Early Access updates. At the moment the development progress for the next version of the Commander Survival Kit (Version: 1.20) is progressing very well.

                            Regarding to the new upcoming Version of the Commander Survival Kit (Version 1.20). The Development of it still progressing very Well and several new Features has been added to the Mod recently, which I will present here soon in the next Development Report. There are a few other Features for Version 1.20, which are still in Development and they will be presented later. However the finished new Features can present already.
                            So stay tuned for the next upcoming Development Reports. πŸ˜‰

                              Greetings! I liked your mod, very cool πŸ™‚ I think it would be great to add a function to disable/enable abilities in the game lobby, for example, if we want to play without air or airstrikes

                                Hey glad to hear you like it. πŸ˜‰
                                Nice Idea and Suggestion do you have I like that
                                The Integration of New Lobby Options to Enable or Disable callable Land, Naval or Air Reinforcements from the Reinforcements Manager in the Match can be added into the Mod.

                                New Lobby Options for Air Strikes and the other things from the Fire Support Manager are possible as well. The only thing is the Mod will introduce a large additional amount of New Lobby Options into the Game, which could overwhelm some Players at the begining. But I think it makes the Mod fully customizable and even more enjoyable as an Result

                                  I completely agree with you. Flexible game settings will make this mod great for any type of battle, including Survival modes πŸ™‚

                                    Callable Experimental Reinforcements (Optional):
                                    In the next Version of the Commander Survival Kit. Experimental Units can be called as Reinforcements. They can be called from the fourth Page Experimental of the Available Units Section of each Reinforcements Manager. However there are usually Set to be Not callable in the Lobby. So Players will need to Set the Option to callable If they want to have Access to Experimental Reinforcements in the Match. UEF callable Experimental Land and Naval Reinforcements will be delivered with an Squadron of Cargo Gunships, which Transport them with Tractor Beam Emitters

                                    The next upcoming Version of the Commander Survival Kit will introduce some new Possibilities to Set Up an more Structure wise Gameplay compared to previous Versions

                                    HQ Communication Center (For all Factions):
                                    If you Set the specific Lobby Option to buildable the two Main Buttons of the two Managers will be available only If the Player builds the HQ Communication Center. This new buildable Structure on Tech 2 unlocks the two Main Buttons of the two Managers. It can only be builded once by each Player. If this Building get Destroyed you will lose the Access to both Managers as Well. So you will need to rebuild it to get the Access to both Managers Back.

Each Player can only build one of these two Buildings. Both Buildings can be Upgraded from Level 1 to Level 5 which Increase the amount of Collectable Points of both Managers with 1000. You can Increase them to 5000 in total if you Upgrade both Buildings to Level 5. The Access to these two Buildings can be managed with thier own Lobby Option.

So If you don't want to have any Air Strikes in your Match you can fully Disable them in the Lobby as Well. This Feature was Requested by @cychwa_klaymberg

                                    Currently in Development:
                                    The next upcoming Version of the Commander Survival Kit will introduce several new Air Strikes from Torpedo Bombers, Ground Attack Fighters and more.

                                    Drop Turrets and Devices Section:
                                    Players will be able to call Drop Turrets and other Support Devices in the next Version. Both have Access to the Enhancement Upgrades which can be used to Upgrade them with new Abilities, Weapons and other Effects. You can see here an Preview of the:

                                    UEF Drop Turret:
                                    f8bbb93e-857a-494c-9920-4fb0603b5c49-1728087930129430870520664849751.png
                                    UEF Drop Repair Turret:
                                    8f70b3b5-e926-47ee-93c1-e7d33eeaf69c-1728088188438881626604420787528.png
                                    UEF Drop Supply Station:
                                    image-176.png
                                    They will Not be buildable by Engineers, ACUs or SACU's compared to regular Turrets. So they will be callable only by the Drop Turrets and Devices Section from the Fire Support Manager. More Details related to them will be presented in the next Development Report.

                                    Several other Improvements:
                                    The Spawn Mechanic of the Air Strikes, callable Air Reinforcements and Others which are similar to them has been Improved. Expandable Maps with Playedable Areas (such as Campaign Maps) are now supported by this Mechanic.

                                    Alright I think this is enough for this Report and gives you a nice Preview of what is coming in the next Version of the Commander Survival Kit, which will be Released in Dezember. If you want to Check Out the New Features before the new Version arrives in Dezember in Early Access. Please Download the GitHub Version of the Commander Survival Kit. πŸ˜‰

                                      Hello everyone,
                                      I Just want to let you know the Development Progress for the next upcoming Version of the Commander Survival Kit is going forward as planned. The next Development Report will be focused on the new Drop Turrets and Devices Section of the Fire Support Manager. Players of each will be able to call in 2 Drop Turrets and a Supply Station with this Section in the next Version. All 3 Drop Units have Access to Enhancement Upgrades, which gives them new Abilities, Features or Weapons. Of course each Faction have thier own Variations of these 3 Drop Units, which makes them more unique from each other. More Details about them will be presented in the upcoming Development Report, which will be posted soon. Stay tuned for it πŸ˜‰ Best regards CDRMV

                                        Hello everyone,
                                        Its time for the next Development Report of this Project.
                                        Today I want to give you an Overview of the new Drop Turrets and Devices Section of the Fire Support Manager.

                                        Drop Turrets and Devices Section (All Factions):

                                        7e64423e-ec4e-4ec8-b0a2-a79ee8053b03-image.png

                                        0059fe12-ad6d-4d17-ad68-f7688a31fd6b-image.png

                                        7709bfe1-1772-461f-bcc8-76d2f3caf571-image.png

                                        7a021c2d-9df3-4d75-a2fd-107fed3e0b83-image.png

                                        Each Faction can call 3 Units in this Section:
                                        Of course there are unique for each Faction and have differences.

                                        • Drop Turret
                                        • Drop Beam Turret
                                        • Drop Supply Station

                                        Each of them has access to Enhancement Upgrades to Improve their Fire Power, give them more Weapons or Abilities and a few of them can change their Gameplay. They are not buildable by Engineers or SACU's. So they are only callable by this Section.

                                        Of course a new Lobby Option to Manage the Access to make them callable or not has been added as well:

                                        Compared to the other 3 factions the Seraphim are using an interesting Concept.
                                        All 3 Units are Tripods (Walkers) which have access to these two Modes:

                                        • Movable
                                        • Stationary

                                        You can switch both Modes with an specific Toggle Button.
                                        So you can use these Units as Movable Land Units or as Stationary Defenses
                                        Once called all 3 Units are coming from the Orbit with an nice Drop Arrival Sequence.
                                        They are coming with 5000 Health.
                                        If you want to increase their Health to 15000 you will need to install the Armor Upgrade
                                        However this Upgrade will force all 3 Units to switch to Stationary Mode.
                                        Once the Armor Upgrade is completed the Units will loses the access to the Movable Mode.
                                        But you can install the Movable Mode Upgrade to remove the Armor to get the access Back.

                                          Hello everyone,
                                          its time for the next Development Report of this Project.

                                          Today I want to reveal serveral nice UI Improvements and the first new callable Air Strike.
                                          All of them will be included in the next upcoming Version of the Mod.

                                          Introducing the new Support Panel:
                                          In the current Version of the Mod you can open the two Managers with these two large Buttons:
                                          Both have an Basic Point Display on Top of them which shows how many Points you have collected and the Maximal Value.
                                          4c98f852-3772-4119-a2f4-416b66bfb7da-image.png

                                          Depends on which Manager you open you will see these two following UI Elements:
                                          The two large Buttons (Back and Forward) for the Fire Support Manager
                                          945e0137-1a4f-416a-a5b7-d705c686c863-image.png
                                          Or the Layer Overview with the 4 Buttons Land, Air, Naval and Space of the Reinforcement Manager:
                                          6a8e45c9-fc97-4c42-b95d-2852f5e83bb7-image.png

                                          However I have recently Change the inital Main UI as following:
                                          MainPanel.PNG

                                          Below the two regular Panels Economy and Multifunction of the Game you will now see an new Panel.
                                          This is the Support Panel, which includes the two Main Buttons in an more simple Way.
                                          An improved Point Storage Display and an new Income Display for both Managers.

                                          The new Income Display shows how many Points you will get with each Second Interval you have choosen in the Lobby.
                                          Of cause the Storage Display and the new Income Display support the regular HQ Point Generation System, the Point Storages and the two Centers where you generate the Points for the two Managers if you build them. So the two Displays will update autmatically if you have build them.

                                          Of course the Panel can be Hidden or Showed with the Arrow Toggle Button on the Left Side. πŸ˜‰

                                          The Forward and Back Buttons of the Fire Support manager has been direclty included into the Header of the Manager
                                          there are located over the Help Button now and smaller in their Size.
                                          MainPanel2.PNG

                                          The 4 Layer Buttons of the Reinforcements Manager are now located in the Header as well:
                                          The header will automatically Update the Title and open the specific Manager of the Layer Button you have press.

                                          Add Squadron Size Sliders for each callabe Air Strike
                                          Each Air Strike in the current Version of the Mod has access to 4 different Size for its Squadron.
                                          1, 5, 10 and 15
                                          In the next upcoming Version of the Mod each callable Air Strike will now get an Slider.
                                          So you can now directly set the Size of the Squadron with any Value between of 1 to 15.
                                          This makes now possible to call in Air Strikes with 2, 4, 6 or 8 Air Units in any Situation as well.
                                          Depends on the Squadron Size the Price will dynamical Increase or Decrease as well.

                                          New callable Air Strike - Torpedo Bomber:
                                          In the next upcoming version of the Mod each Faction will now be able to call in an Squadron of Torpedo Bombers.
                                          The Size of the Sqaudron can be set with the Slider, which has an Impact on the Price to call them.
                                          This makes it now possible to call in an Air Strike if you have problems with enemy Naval Units.

                                          Of course these will now be the only new callabe Air Strike in the next Version:
                                          They will be several more and will use new Units from CSK Units and a few retextured ones from my FBP Legends Mod.

                                          For any Players out there, which are playing the Mod with the Vanilla Version of the Game.
                                          If you want to play the next upcoming Version of the Mod in the Campaign. New Lobby Options usually don't working the Campaign of the Base Game. So I have decide to develop this new Manager to set them directly in this Game Mode. The Manager will direclty appear at the beginning of the Opening Squence of each Campaign Mission.The Game will be automatically Paused by the Manager so you can set the Settings you want in peace and without any rush. The manager comes with 3 Main buttons Save Load and Done. The Game qwill be continued if you press the Done Button and anything which you have set will be transferred to the Code to make it functional. With the Save Button you will be able to save your Settings for the next Mission and load them in with the Load Button. The Manager will not appear if you play the FAF Coop Campaign, because you can set the Lobby Options direclty in the Lobby.

                                          Campaign Transmisiion Location Change:
                                          Transmissions which are seen in the Campaign or in the FAF Coop Campaign will now appear in the Middle of the Screen.
                                          The Change was needed because these Transmissions where appearing on the Left Side of the Screen previously, which can overlap the main UI of this Mod.
