Build: B3384 Mode: Survival Mode: Dedicated Server SERVER NAME: Empyrion at War If applicable: MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: Yes Reproducibility: Always Severity: Minor Type: Configuration Summary: AttackNPC: true not honored in factions.ecf Description: When modifying scenarios and adding new parameters for the factions.ecf file, it appears that the AttackNPC: true doesn't work with certain factions in the file. Particularly, the Polaris and Zirax factions will never attack each other, despite the fact this line exists, and also is not used in conjunction with Friendly: true or Unfriendly: true. Steps to Reproduce: Modifying the factions ecf, modify the file as follows for Zirax and Polaris: Code: { Faction Id: 2, Name: "Zirax" #Zirax Empire head faction; split into houses: Xenu, Rados, Epsilon, Ghyst, Serdu,.. Abbrev: Emp Color: "0.1, 0.1, 0.9" ClaimTerritory: true Reputation: true # Do not change. Hardcoded effect on Base Attacks. Change will lead to issues with related features! AttackNPC: true Discovery: false } { Faction Id: 7, Name: "Polaris" Abbrev: Reb Color: "0.82, 0.71, 0.55" ClaimTerritory: true Reputation: true AttackNPC: true Discovery: false } Loading the scenario, attempt to observe both Zirax and Polaris factions attacking one another (they don't).

Its not just them. While creating custom factions i also found they're only attacking each other half the time.
