About

Planet

This plugin contains a python script to generate an arcade-style gauntlet wherein you take a mission, jump through a wormhole, and face a series of randomly generated fleets. Intended for end-game players who are comfortable running a python script and toggling some options related to how the gauntlet gets built.

Bugs/Compatibility issues can be reported using Github's issue tracker. Feature requests are also encouraged.

How To Use

1. Python

Windows users will need to install Python v3.6. Linux and OSX users should have it installed already. Some Linux users may have 2.7 as their default. In that case you can install 3.6 side by side with 2.7.

2. Add your Endless Sky path

Open params.txt in a proper text editor and add the path to your Endless Sky data folder using forward slashes. Example:

"game path" "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Endless Sky/data"

3. Using plugins

If you'd like to include any ships from plugins you have installed, set "use plugins" to 1 and add the path to your plugin directory using forward slashes. Example:

"use plugins" 1
"plugin path" "C:/Users/MyUserName/AppData/Roaming/endless-sky/plugins"

4. All the rest

There are also several settings related to how challenging the resulting gauntlet will be. Everything in params.txt is heavily commented with examples, so feel free to toggle the various setting to get the desired difficulty.
