KBVE Fleet Commander

by h0lybyte

KBVE community server pack: an in-game economy and an AAI fleet command center. Spawn inside a walled starter compound with the KBVE Exchange (buy items, deposit into a per-player vault that survives deaths and rejoins) and the KBVE Fleet Commander (single GUI for every AAI vehicle on the surface; sync unregistered cars, fan a miner squad across a mining zone, send combat units to a defense zone, route returns through highway tiles, auto-deposit when cargo is full, retreat under fire).

Changelog

Version: 0.0.3
Date: 2026-06-01
  Features:
    - KBVE Exchange now stocks Spider Eggs (kbve-spider-egg) at 100 coins each.
      Eggs hatch into ally spiders on the buyer's force after 30 seconds.
  Dependencies:
    - Added optional dependency on `kbve-spider`. Without that mod loaded the
      exchange row silently skips the entry (existing `if proto then` guard in
      exchange_gui.lua handles it).

Version: 0.0.2
Date: 2026-06-01
  Changes:
    - Realigns the portal release with the docker image source so server + clients pulling from mods.factorio.com match on connect.
    - Server image now defers the kbve mod entirely to the portal sync (FACTORIO_PORTAL_ONLY_MODS=kbve) instead of pre-packaging from local sources.

Date: 2026-06-01
  Features:

    - Mining tab: filter to miners, fan units across the zone, auto-skip depleted tiles, auto-deposit when cargo fills.
    - Defense tab: filter to combat units, patrol cadence, retreat-on-HP.
    - Combat tab: one-shot offensive dispatch to a typed map position.
    - Squads tab: persist named subsets of the fleet with mission badge.
