Have you ever [i][b]wanted[/b][/i] to spawn a raid? This mod adds the [b][i]Comms Hijacker[/i][/b], allowing pawns to hack into the local communications network and manipulate enemies into attacking your colony by broadcasting high-value bait. A raid spawns immediately upon a successful hack.
[b]Think about it like group-texting all the listed felons in your area to let them know you’ll be out of town with your home unattended[/b]
[b]Actually, don’t think about that. No one think about that. Let’s not manifest it.[/b]
Just think about it like broadcasting to the entire Rim that you’ve got [u][i]a lot[/i][/u] of good loot.

How To Use
[list]
[*] Build and connect to a powered Comms Console.
[*] Select Hack Strength (higher levels = stronger enemies & more power usage).
[*] Start Hacking – An available colonist with a minimum Intellectual skill of 6 will go and operate the hijacker. If no pawn meets this requirement, the hacking job is canceled, and the raid queue is reset. Pawns with higher Intellectual skill are prioritized.
[*] Raid Spawns – A random enemy faction attacks based on hack level.
[/list]
Raid Mechanics
[list]
[*] Enemies vary from small desperate skirmishes to full-scale invasions.
[*] Strength depends on selected hack level (100 - 10,000 raid points).
[*] Raid size varies due to faction differences (many weak or fewer strong units).
