I play on a personal server with 4-6 other people, we have a base built on a desert starter planet and are very hostile to the Zirax. However, we have not had any naturaly occuring base attacks, only ones that I have spawned with the BA console command Is there something I need to do to enable this or a setting I can change to increase the frequency? Thank you
If the base is set to Public it won't be treated as a player base and won't be attacked. Needs to be set to Private. Also, in the base's P-menu, go to statistics and see the base attack probability %. Though if it's not enabled in the game/server settings, you won't get base attacks anyway.
its set to a player owned faction, has a 37-40% chance, but the difficulty is 0, so I assume thats the issue. Can I enable it for an active game or only if I start a new one? and if so where do I find the setting
When you are loading a save there is a button for difficulty. That's all the things you can set before starting a game and will take effect midgame too.
I had something weird happen, I switched my base from public to private, to public to private a few times, just to see what my percentages were, and it did a base check, when I went back private (7.9% chance, btw), and it FAILED, said so in the console, it was looking for something that it couldn't find. (It may have been that I switched the default base attack scenario, but I'm not sure, I copied it back, just in case). Then I logged back in, did a ba checked in game and nothing happened, then I did help ba check and there's an immediate attack so I tried that, and holy crap, my turrets lit up right away. I'm confused atm.
