[Question] Playfield - POI - Groupname

If I create multiple blueprints with the same Groupname, how the game generate POI when the Groupname is generate ? One of blueprint with the Groupname are generate or multiple or all blueprints with the Groupname are generate ?
Because if I have multiple bueprints by example city buildings with a Groupname City, is there are just one building, will be strange and if there are all buildings generate, all POI City will be almost similar.

 

In playfield, the number of blueprints in the POI is different of the number of POI ?
Also, what is the code to set the number of blueprints for a POI ? Is include in ExamplePlanet/playfield.yaml ?
I will see later.
Good continuation.

 

Ok. Thanks for your answers and good continuation .

 

So in the ExamplePlanet.yaml, I found this :

Code:

POIs:             
    Random:
       - GroupName: Wreckage                # Group name of POI
          # Type: SV_Player                  # Optional for special type of POI: SV_Player, HV_Player, CV_Player. If not used, then POI is a Base (default setting)
          CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ]              # Range of number of POIs of this group to distribute on planet
          DroneProb: 0                       # Probability that a POI is defended by drones
          DronesMinMax: [ 1, 1 ]             # Range of number of drones that defend POI
          ReserveCount: 1                    # Number of drones that will be replaced when destroyed
          TroopTransport: False              # If troop transport will be sent   
          PlayerStart: True                  # Use with first POI if player should be spawned here, use a Count of 1 for such POIs (CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ])
          Properties:
            - Key: PersonalContainer         # Personal Container
              Value: "Drill, Chainsaw, BioFuel:4, ConstructorSurvival, OxygenGeneratorSmall, AutoMinerCore:5, Core, TomatoStage1, WheatStage1, CornStage1, PumpkinStage1, PearthingStage1, DurianRoot, RadiationPills, EVABoost"      # Content of Personal Container
            - Key: MapDistance               # Sets visibility of map markers in meters. Optional property to override the default visibility setting.
              Value: 500                     # Reveals map marker if player is 500m away from object. If set to 0, map marker will never be revealed 
            - Key: MapMarker                 # Sets color of HUD marker
              Value: Neutral                 # Neutral means the HUD marker is white 

So CountMinMax is the number of buildings on this POI but if I want multiple POI ?

 

CountMinMax is the Number of POIs with that groupname.

e.g.:
You make 3 different blueprints of POIs:

Base01
Base02
Base03

For each of those POIs you set the same GroupName (Alt Gr +O, then double click on name in list) to e.g. 'BasesGroup'

Then in the yaml you define

Code:

POIs:          
   Random:
      - GroupName: BasesGroup                # Group name of POI
         CountMinMax: [ 1, 3 ]              # Range of number of POIs of this group to distribute on planet
         DroneProb: 0                       # Probability that a POI is defended by drones
         DronesMinMax: [ 1, 1 ]             # Range of number of drones that defend POI
         ReserveCount: 1                    # Number of drones that will be replaced when destroyed
         TroopTransport: False              # If troop transport will be sent
         PlayerStart: True                  # Use with first POI if player should be spawned here, use a Count of 1 for such POIs (CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ])
         Properties:
           - Key: PersonalContainer         # Personal Container
             Value: "Drill, Chainsaw, BioFuel:4, ConstructorSurvival, OxygenGeneratorSmall, AutoMinerCore:5, Core, TomatoStage1, WheatStage1, CornStage1, PumpkinStage1, PearthingStage1, DurianRoot, RadiationPills, EVABoost"      # Content of Personal Container
           - Key: MapDistance               # Sets visibility of map markers in meters. Optional property to override the default visibility setting.
             Value: 500                     # Reveals map marker if player is 500m away from object. If set to 0, map marker will never be revealed
           - Key: MapMarker                 # Sets color of HUD marker
             Value: Neutral                 # Neutral means the HUD marker is white

Then the game places between 1 and 3 of your three bases in the playfield. If you would set CountMinMax to [3,3] then the game will try to place three of them. But you cannot control, which one. The game picks randomly from Base01, Base02, Base03. So you could also end up with 3 times Base02, or 2 x Base01 and 1x Base03, ...

Hope this helps.
