Hello everyone,
I'm glad to present you a new Sim Mod for the Game.
It is called the Commander Survival Kit (short C.S.K.)
This Mod introduce these two following new Managers into the Game.

A Reinforcement Manager:
Players are now able to call Reinforcements on the Map.
In Detail you can call Land- or/and Air Reinforcements with this Manager.

A Fire Support Manager:
With this Manager your are able to call additional Fire Support on the Map. For example Artillery Barrages, Air Strikes or Beams.

Air Strike Section:

Artillery Section:

Missile Section:

Beam Section:

Special Section (Second Page):

A ingame Helpcenter:
Here you can find some Video Tutorials for several Questions.
For example How to call Land Reinforcements or Artillery Barrages?

Transmissions:
Just as an Decoration Transmissions have found a new Way to be introduced into the Game outside of the Scenario Code.
These Transmssions are from your HQ/Leaders and gives your some useflu Tips or Status Report about both Managers.

8 new Lobbyoptions:
You get access to these 8 new Lobbyoptions:
Reinforcements avaiable in:
Fire Support avaiable in:

You are able to set the Wait Time, Point Generation Rate and Interval and the Maximum of the collectable Points individually of both Managers.

Avaiable Wait Times are:
5 Minutes , 10 Minutes, 15 Minutes to Max 60 minutes

Available Point Generation Rates are:
1, 2 or 3 Points

Available Point Generation Intervals are:
1 Second, 2 Seconds and 3 Seconds.

Options for Maximal Tactical Points are:

1300 Points
1600 Points
2000 Points
2300 Points
2600 Points
3000 Points

Options for Maximal Reinforcement Points are:

2500 Points
3000 Points
3500 Points
4000 Points
4500 Points
5000 Points

Two Point Generation Systems:
The HQ starts to transfer the Reinforcement and Tactical to your ACU after the Wait Times above are over.
You can collect these Points to "buy" Reinforcements or Fire Support Solutions. However always use them wisely.

General Layout Overview:

Background Story:
The Idea for this Mod was coming from the Games:
World in Conflict and Command & Conquer
The Reinforcement Manager was orginally planned as an exclusive Feature for FBP Orbital. A new Space related Mod for the Game, which is currently in Development by myself. However I have decide to make both Managers avialable as an Standalone UI Mod to release them earlier.
So the Commander Surival Kit was born.
This is actually my first large Lua Project for the Game and my first try tow work full scale in Lua Programming.
So the Lua Code behind it is not prefect and can be improved in the future as well. But i will need help in that.

Video Presentation:
Want to check it out more visually instead of Pictures?
No Problem:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/commander-survival-kit-csk/videos

These Videos are included as Tutorials in the Helpcenter

Where can I download this Mod?:
On Moddb:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/commander-survival-kit-csk/downloads

For Steam it requires the Lobby Enhancement Mod 4.6
it is included in the Download as SCD File

And of course on the FAF Modvault:
Search for Commander and you will see it:

For which Gamemodes is this designed for?:
This Mod is primary designed for the FAF Survival Mode.
However it can be used in Skirmish, Multiplayer and Campaign as well.

Regarding to the Campaign:
The two Lobbyoptions and their Wait Times are deactivated in the Campaign so the Point Generation for both Managers will directly start at the Beginning of the Match.
This will give you an additional Backup during the initial Campaign.

What is planned for the Future?
The Mod is of course still in development.
So you can expect some new Updates and Content.

Here is an Overview for the upcoming planned Content:

Naval Reinforcement Manager
With this Manager you will be able to call Naval Units as Reinforcements on the Map

Dropable Turrets (Defenses):
These new Defenses have Enhancement Upgrades and an Defense Engineering System. So you will be able to improve them and build additional Defenses around them.

Dropable Buff Devices:
Some useful dropable Devices will give your land Units or structures several additional benefits. For example additional Health, Weapon dame Increase or more. However these Benefits are temporary and the device will disappear after some time.

Nomads:
The current version only supports the 4 Factions from the Game (UEF, Cybrans, Aeon and Seraphim)
Of course the Nomads will get access to their own Managers as well.

New Reinforcements:
Of course some additional selected Units from other popular Mods will indirectly appear in the Mod as new callabe Reinforcements. For example brewlan, 4th dimension, Blackops and more.

New callabe Fire Support Weapons:
of course the roster of callabe Fire support Solutions will be expanded with new ones.

New Units:
This Mod is orignally not direcly a new Unit Mod.
But it will content some new Units.
For example as an Preview for the next Version:

UEF Experimental Bomber:
Name: Omega 229-A

UEF Tech 3 Heavy Bomber:
Name: B-1265 Preacher

UEF Tech 3 Ground Attack Fighter:
Name: A-50 Thunderbolt

UEF Tech 3 Heavy Transport Plane:
Name: C150 Globebuster

Fixed Issues
Performance Issues causes by the Transmissions
Loud Compatible Issues
Tooltip Issues

Compatible Gameversions:
FAF, Steam and Loud

Known Issues
None

All in all:
I wish anyone interesting and fun fights with this new Kit for your Commander
Looking forward for your Feedback about this Project.

Hello everyone,

Its time for an new but small Development Update for this Mod.

"Centipedarix K-47", Experimental Defense Walker

The First new Cybran Experimental has been added and is now available in Early Access on Github. Like any other new Units for this Project this Unit will be included in Commmander Survival Kit Units (short CSK Units)

This Unit is actually an large Mechanical Centipede and categorized as an Experimental Defense Walker for the Cybrans.
Its Main Feature is the Enhancement Upgrade System, which adds additional Weapon Turrets and Abilities to this Unit.

Note:
The Cybrans will get other Centipedes on lower Techlevels soon as well.
They are currently in Development and will be added into CSK Units soon.
However these will not be the only new Cybran Units in this Project.
So we will see some more soon.

Stay tuned for more Updates
Best regards
CDRMV

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

Lets see what is new:

The Introduction of Underground Units:






CSK Units will introduce an new type of Unit, which are able to Move below the Ground Layer. These Units have an Toggle Button to switch from Surface to Underground Mode and backwards. To Counter them these Units are targetable in Surface Mode usally, but we will see Ways to Damage them in Underground Mode too. The first functional Units are two mechanical Worms for the Cybrans, which have been added to the Mod for Early Access. Compared to other Units in this Concept these Worms are not able to Move in the Surface Mode.
There are only Movable in Underground Mode.

"Model: C-57" - Tech 3 Cyber Worm:
A mechanical Worm, which is designed to move behind enemy Defense Lines for Surprise Attacks. It is armed with an Microwave Laser Beam

"Model: C-1000X" - Experimental Cybrer Worm:
As the tip of the mechanical Worm´s of the Cybran Army. This large Worm is armed with an massive amount of Weapons:
A Powerful Microwave Laser, some Missile Launchers and 4 Proton Cannons. A really deadly Experimental excelent for surprise Attacks.

New Land Unit:

"Cyrox 3000" - Experimental Attack Cyborg
The second Cyborg for the Cybrans has been added to the Mod as well.
This one is clearly based on the famous japanese Kaiju Godzilla and is like the original really Deadly. The basic Weapons of this Cyborg is an poweful Photonic Beam Laser and two Nanite Missile Launchers. Note: This Cyborg as well the four Legged Behemoth Experimental Support Cyborg have an functional Idle Animation to make it more realistic.

However that is not all the cyborg has access to two Ablities:

Instable Photonic Laser Projectile:

This Ability/Weapon is inspired by the new Atomic Breath of Godzilla in the Movie Godzilla Minus One. Godzilla is causing an large Nuke Explosion by using his Athomic Breath in the Movie. The Weapon causes an nuke Explosion on inpact and has an Maximum Range of 60 and an Minimum Range of 30. So anything between these two Values will be Destroyed. However keep in Mind this Weapon can Damage ally units as well. So use it wise. To make it Balanced this Weapon has an long reload Time as well

Photonic Shockwave:

Similar like Godzilla in the Monsterverse from the Movies of Legendary Pictures. The Cyborg is able to unleash an Photonic Impulse Shockwave to Destroy Enemies around it. This Ability doesn't cause any Damage to ally Units. The Size of the Sphere Effect and the Radius increase from 0 to 30 The Damage of this Shockwave has been set to 15. However with each Interval the Shockwave Increase to 30 the total Damage is 500 at the end. This Ability doesn't has an Reload yet and is designed to be used manually for Emergency Situations (Defense Purposes).

Hope you like it and stay tuned for more Updates.
I wish you all a nice Christmas Celebration and see you soon.

The Design of this Walker is based on the Chimera Goliath Walker from the Video Games:
Resistance Fall of Man, Resistance 2 and Resistance 3.

'Isanthu Mayatha' - Tech 3 Super Heavy Assault Tripod:
A large Armored 3 Legged Walker. It is armed with two advanced Energy Beam Cannons with an higher Damage Output and larger Range compared to the Combat Scout Tripod. The Design is based on the Alien Tripod from the 2005 Movie War of the Worlds.

'Isanthu Gtho' - Tech 3 Combat Scout Tripod
A 3 Legged Walker, which is armed with an powerful Energy Beam. Its integrated Radar and Sonar Device makes it really usable as an Scout. This Unit is amphibious and can walk on the seabed. This Walker will get the Acid Cloud Ability in the next upcoming Early Access Updates. The Design is based on the Hierarchy tripod walker from the Game Universe at War.

'Mithoo' - Tech 3 Type 2 Attack Drone:

'ASham Ithum' - Tech 2 Flying Saucer
The Successor of the ASham but with different Design, which is developed over an small Quantum Portal Core Generator. This Flying Saucer uses the Quantum Portal Core Generator to an fire Energy Weapon on the Target. The Energy Weapon is fired by an Device form the other Side of the Portal and comes out of Energy Core in the Center of this Flying Saucer.

'ASham Itas' - Tech 3 Flying Saucer
The Successor of the ASham Ithum. It is armed with Improved Quantum Portal Core Generator to shot an Energy Beam on the Target. The Beam is fired by an Device form the other Side of the Portal and comes out of Energy Core in the Center of this Flying Saucer.

As mentioned before the UEF has get a new Support Air Unit as well.

'BC-77 Globemaster' - Tech 3 Reinforcement Plane
A large Cargo Aircraft, which is designed to Transport Support Devices and Vehicles to the Battlefield. The Unit will drop three Factory Containers, which are able to build a single Land Unit of your choice as Land Reinforcement. Each Container will disappear after the Build Process is finished and needs to be called by the Plane again for more new Land Reinforcements. 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.

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

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

Update:
After testing out a few things
I have found out the Transmissions are the main cause for the Performance Issue.
The Helpcenter and its Tutorial Videos doesn't cause the Performance Issue.
So i will rework the Transmissions and publish a small fix soon.
Stay tuned for it.

A few more new Model previews:
These two Units will appear as new Air Reinforcements for the UEF and will be buildable in an Tech 3 Air Factory.

UEF Tech 3 Heavy Missile Gunship:
One of the rare UEF Units which uses an traditional Propeller Engine. Slow Move Speed,Some Missile launchers for Ground Targets. a light gatling Gun for Ground and Air Targets.

UEF Tech 3 AA Gunship:
A Heavy Gunship, which is designed to fight against enemy Air Units.
Prefered Target: Gunships or Transports.
Fast Move Speed, Some Missile launchers for Anti Air. A light Gatling Gun for Ground and Air Targets.

Note:
I'm currently looking for cool Names for these two Units.

@sylph_
A Kill Reward Point System is already in Development as the third Alternative Option where you can get the Points for the Managers.
The other two are:
The automatic Point Transfer from the HQ:
The Point System which is available in the current Version of the Mod. And the new Point Generation Center System, which gives the Player the Points by Building the Command and Tactical Centers. In the next Major Version of CSK the Player will be able to Manage all 3 Point Systems directly in the Lobby.
That means he has the full Control which one He want to use in the Match. And that is Not all the Player will be able to combinate those Systems as well. It will be possible to Play Matches with more then one System activated. For example:
The automatic Point Transfer from the HQ
With the Point Generation Centers to get additional Points directly in the Match.

Or He can fully deactivate all 3 Point Systems to Play CSK Like a regular Unit Mod with the new Units.

This will give the Mod more flexibility in General.
So it will be depending on your own decision what do you prefere more to use in your Matches.

Hello everyone,

Progress Update for Commander Survival Kit Research.

I have change the Design of the Research Interface for all Factions.
The Research Interface is now located on the Left Site and can be closed by the X Button on the Right Side Edge of the Window.
Next to of that I have add some new Buttons to the Research Tree of the UEF Structure Section. A few of them are already functional and can unlock the specific Technology. Anything what you see here is still in Development.

Stay tuned for more Updates.

Best regards
CDRMV

Hello everyone,
I want to inform that any new Unit, which is coming into CSK will be included in an seperated Unit Pack.
It will be called CSK Units and will be a standalone Mod.
Compared to CSK and CSK Research CSK Units will only include the new Units, Effects, Projectiles and Abilites.
Anything UI and SIM related Content such as the two Managers or the Research Interface will be not included in this Unit Pack.
Player which are only interested to play with the new Units only will also get an support as well.

Best regards
CDRMV

@JoTape79
Hey Thanks for the Feedback and glad to hear you like it. Regarding to the Seraphim: I know this Faction currently doesn't has any new Units in Mechdivers and needs alot love. Currently I think about it what Kind of Units they should get. There are currently 4 Options in my Mind:

Option 1
The Seraphim could get thier own Designs of the Helldivers 2 Illuminate Unit next to of the Aeon. Since the Aeon have learned from the Seraphim it would make alot of Sense If they have similar Versions of these Units but with different Abilities, Stats and an Design which fits the Seraphim more.

Option 2
Since the Terminids are planned to appear in Mechdivers in the future as Well there is the Possibility to add them on the Side of the Seraphim but with an Redesign to fit them more. Alternative the Terminids could appear as an Playable Subfaction or as an spawned Civilian Enemy on the Map. If this is the Case Option 3 will be implemented below

Option 3
Or the Seraphim get Custom Units only for example alot of Tripod Walkers, Hover Tanks and other Alien Stuff, which could be based on some popular Sci Fi Franchises or on new Concept Artworks created by an Member of my Development Team.

Which of these 3 Options will be implemented in the future is still Not fully sure at the Moment. So I will probably going to do an Long Survey soon to See which Option gets the Most Votes by the Community here, on Moddb and on my Discord Server.

Hello everyone
its been a while since our Last Development Report.
This time we have some News related to Mechdivers.

First of all the official Moddb Page of Mechdivers is now Online:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/mechdivers
So you can now directly follow the Development of the Mod more directly. The Mod itself will later get its own FAF Forum Post soon.

Now I give you an Overview about the newest Additions which has been added into Mechdivers recently:
The following Units are now available in Early Access on GitHub.

Liberty Class' - UEF Experimental Super Destroyer (Spaceship)
This Spaceship has been added into the Mod a month ago and will be part of an new Support Ability. Each UEF Player will get access to his own Super Destroyer which gives him access to callable Orbital Bombardments and Reinforcements with an nice Designed Manager. The Aeon and Cybrans will get thier own Spaceships too which are based on the ones from Helldivers 2. (Do you know which ones specifiaclly? ;)) The Spaceships itself are not buildable by the Player as an regular Unit. To counter them we will going to see Anti Spaceship Cannons (one per Faction) soon. How this inital Feature works in Detail will be revealed later. Currently this Feature is highly in Development but the Super Destroyer itself is already available in Early Access in the Mod but what you see there is not the finished/final State of this Feature. There is still alot to do.

New UEF Mechs
Lumberer
This Mech is armed with an Anti Tank Cannon and an Flamethrower

Breakthrough
This Mech is armed with an Balistic Shield and an Heavy Flak Cannon
The Heavy Flak Cannon is an Grenade Launcher, which is armed with Fragmentation Grenades. He works similar like an Shotgun.

Note:
Currently I Work on an new Modular Mech System, which will be revealed soon.
So stay tuned for it.

'Radical' - Cybran Tech 2 Advanced Shotgun Cyborg
The first Variant of an artificially created Cyborg Soldier. This cyborg was created from the genetic material of an highly successful Cybran Commander with the help of the Enigma 4 enzyme This enzyme makes this Cyborg significantly larger than conventional human-sized cyborgs.

He is armed with a hydrogen shotgun and has access to the Speed Booster ability. He is currently temporarily buildable in the Advanced Heavy Factory. Later, a new building will be available that will allow them to be created/builded.

'Agitator' - Tech 2 Advanced Assault Cyborg
The second Variant of an artificially created Cyborg Soldier. This cyborg was created from the genetic material of an highly successful Cybran Commander with the help of the Enigma 4 enzyme This enzyme makes this Cyborg significantly larger than conventional human-sized cyborgs.

He is basically an Armored Version of the Radical but armed with an single Hydrogen Blaster. This Blaster has access to the Overcharge Ability to allow him to shot an single High Damage Hydrogen Projectile on an given Target. This Cyborg will later get an additional Support Ability to buff ally Land Units in its Vision Range similar like the Aeon Monolith but with an different Buff Effect.

'Omega Engine' - Tech 3.5/Elite Heavy Shotgun Tank Bot
An another Variant of the Vox Engine armed with two Heavy Hydrogen Shotguns and two Heavy Fusion Mortars, which can stun enemy Units. This Unit has an short Range and is more usable in Close Combat.

Of course more is coming soon.
Stay tuned for it

CDRMV and from the Team

@rama
I use this Function below in my Mods several times.
Mostly for my callable Reinforcements and Air Strikes.

function GetPlayableArea()
    if ScenarioInfo.MapData.PlayableRect then
        return ScenarioInfo.MapData.PlayableRect
    end
    return {0, 0, ScenarioInfo.size[1], ScenarioInfo.size[2]}
end

@Rama
There are several ways to check whether a position is on water or on land to prevent Units to be spawned on an incorrect Layer.
I have use some of them in my Mods several Times.

First Example is from Mechdivers
I use the Code below in an While Loop to get the current Layer of an Drone Position in Realtime :

local position = self:GetPosition()
local terrain = GetTerrainType(position[1], position[3])
self.check = string.find(terrain.Name, "Water")
		
-- self.check = nil (The drone is over Water)
-- self.check = 1 or any Value which is not nil (The drone is over Land)

If self.check ~= nil then
-- Position is on Land -> Spawn Reinforcement Beacon Unit 
else
-- Position is on Water 
end

Example two is from the Commander Survival Kit

local location = self:GetPosition()
local SurfaceHeight = GetSurfaceHeight(location[1], location[3]) -- Get Water layer
local TerrainHeight = GetTerrainHeight(location[1], location[3]) -- Get Land Layer
LOG("Water: ", SurfaceHeight)
LOG("Land: ", TerrainHeight)
		
-- Check for preventing Land Reinforcements to be spawned in the Water.
if SurfaceHeight == TerrainHeight then 
-- Position is on Land -> Spawn Unit
else
-- Position is on Water 
end	

Maybe this can help you to fix the Issue.you have.
Best regards
CDRMV

@g4ever
Hi I take an Look into the attached Crash.log.log you have Post since I saw you Play with the Commander Survival Kit and Future Battlefield Pack Legends in this Match. The Error Messages related to the `DestroyAllTrashBags is caused by the Missing DeathImpact Weapon on these following Units UAA0002, URA0003 and URA0002, which are Drones from my Mod Future Battlefield Pack Legends. The Problem is the Log is full of Error Messages related to other Mods as Well. So next to of the Issue with the Drones the other Errors could have an Impact on the Desync too. I will going to Patch the Drones in Future Battlefield Pack Legends soon. The Fix will be released on GitHub First for Testing before I will Upload a new Patch Version on the FAF Modvault. So I will inform you If the Fix is uploaded on GitHub.

The Design is based on the Eagle 1 Fighter from the Game Heldivers 2

Deimos - Tech 3 Heavy Mortar
A specific Artilley installation with the Ability to switch its Grenade types by the installation of thier specific Enhancement Upgrades. This Artillery fires 1 Grenade per Salvo and requires the build of the Deimos Supply Tech 3 Ammunition Storage (see below for more details about this Building) to fill/refuel its Cannon with an Grenade. The Enhancement Upgrades will alos been unlocked once the Deimos Supply has been builded and its Storage is not empty. You can build 3 of them by an Tech 3 SACU's or Tech 3 Engineer. The Design is based on the SEAF Artillery from the Game Heldivers 2.

Deimos Supply - Tech 3 Ammunition Storage
This Support Structure is actually designed to refuel the Deimos - Tech 3 Heavy Mortar with Grenades (Ammunition). Its current Storage Capacity is set to 50 and once it get empty a Cargo Hercules Transport Gunship will appear to refuel it atomatically. However the arrival of the Gunship and the refuel Process takes time so please be patient. Can be builded only once by an Tech 3 SACU's or Tech 3 Engineer. The Design is based on the Storage Structure, which usually appears next to of the SEAF Artillery in the Game Heldivers 2

'Kīlauea' - UEF Experimental ICBM Launcher
A large Strategic Missile Launcher, which fires an ICBM Missile to the given Target Location set by the Player. The Design is based on the ICBM Launcher from the Game Helldivers 2.

'UD-250 Bastion MK X' - Tech 3 Heavy Tankhunter
This Tankhunter is armed with an powerful large caliber Gauss Cannon, which is usually used by Coastal Defenses or Battleships. The Cannon is not mounted on an Turret but on the Chassis of this Tank. So the Tank will automatically align his Chassis to the Target to Fire his Gauss Cannon. Next to of this the Tank is armed with an additional Machine Gun mounted on the Gauss Cannon. This Unit is buildable in the UEF Tech 3 Land Factory. He is not transportable but amphibious. The Design is based on the Bastion Tankhunter from the Game Helldivers 2

'Vox Engine' - Tech 3 Heavy Tank Bot
This armored Vehicle is armed with 2 Heavy Hydrogen Laser Cannons, 2 Hydrogen Laser Gatling Turrets and 2 Icarus Missile Launchers. It is amphibious and can be transported. Buildable by Tech 3 Engineers and SACUs. The Design is based on the Automaton Vox Engine from the Game Helldivers 2.

All of these Units are now available in Early Access on my Github Repository.
There are included in the Mod: Mechdivers.

Hope you like it and stay tuned for more Updates.

Hello everyone,
I have upload Version 27 of the Commander Survival Kit (CSK) on the FAF Modvault.

Overview:

Bug Fix:

Cybran Land Reinforcements Manager (Experimental Section)

Callable Experimental Unit:

'Scathis' - Cybran Experimental Mobile Artillery

• Add an Version Check for Vanilla and FAF, which loads the correct Unit Code for the specific Gameversion. This fixes the Issue that the Unit wasn't able to fire in FAF (Was reported by @bayopello)

@kilatamoro I have seen your 1 Star Review for the Commander Survival Kit recently.
Personally I think the Issue you mentioned is caused by an another Mod. The Commander Survival Kit doesn't has a Function, which keep your Units selected (It doesn't even touch them).

So the Questions which I have for you are:

• Were any other mods activated?
• When did the problem start?
• Were there any errors in the log?
• Is there a replay of the error that I can watch?
• If you Play the Commander Survival Kit without any other Mods activated did the Issue appear as Well?

As always if you find any Issues with the Commander Survival Kit please let me know about that directly. So I can look into it to fix it or I can work on it to make the Mod compatible with the specific Mod.

Thank you for your Support.
Anyway have fun and stay tuned for more Updates related to Mechdivers.
Best regards

Hello @bayopello
glad to hear you love the Mod.

About the two Topic you mentioned above:

Topic 1:
You can still spawn reinforcements and airstrikes being dead.
Personally I See this more as an Feature instead of an Bug. However it should get an Lobby Option, which allows you to manage this directly before you start a Match. I think it could be useful in an Survival related Match as an example, where Players fight against waves of AI Units. A Player, which has lose his ACU and Base during this Fight he could be still able to help his ally Players with additional Reinforcements and Fire Support or can try to rebuild his Base. In Multiplayer I can See that could be unfair If an Player who has lose anything is still able to call something. So yes to solve this I would make this Manageable as an Feature with its own Lobby Option in the Lobby.

Topic 2:
Also when you are spawning the schathis is bugged and doesn't shoot
That is clearly an Bug and I already know where the Problem is.
The Mod adds an Clone of the Mobile Scathis into the Game.
The Reason for this is Brewlan changes the Scathis from an Mobile Artillery to an Structure.
So to make the Mod still Compatible with Brewlan I have add this Scathis Clone to reintroduce the Mobile Artillery Scathis to make it Callable as an Land Reinforcement Unit. The Problem is the Code is still the one from Vanilla and Not the one from FAF. So I will need to add the FAF Code of this Unit with an Version Check to make this Unit functional in FAF. I have forget that so thanks to let me know. Since this Issue is FAF only I can Upload an Hotfix on the FAF Modvault to fix this. For Vanilla and Loud is this Not needed since they use the Vanilla Code but it will be included in the next Patch.
