AlliedDefenses

Hijack the facility's defenses from the ship terminal and turn them against the monsters. A hijacked turret, mine or spike trap becomes allied: it stops targeting players and goes after the enemies instead. Then spend your team's credits on upgrades, and deploy a carryable Defense Beacon that protects you out in the field — even against the enemies you can't kill.

⚠️ Multiplayer: EVERY player must install this mod (same version). It adds synced behaviour, so it won't work if only the host has it. Playing solo/host is fine.

Terminal commands

Type these at the ship computer. The keyword ally is configurable (see the config).

What ally upgrades shows

The command prints your credits, the save mode, then every upgrade with its current level, its effect at that level, and the cost of the next level. Example:

ALLIED DEFENSES - UPGRADES
------------------------------------
Credits: 500
Save mode: kept through game over

duration     Lv 0/10  (60s allied)             next: 120 cr
turretdamage Lv 0/15  (1 dmg/shot)             next: 100 cr
turretrange  Lv 0/8   (30m detect)             next: 100 cr
mineradius   Lv 0/6   (4m radius)              next: 90 cr
sanity       Lv 0/5   (off (Ghost Girl))       next: 150 cr
neutralize   Lv 0/5   (off (Coil-Head))        next: 200 cr
seismic      Lv 0/5   (off (Earth Leviathan))  next: 180 cr
muffle       Lv 0/5   (off (Eyeless Dog))      next: 160 cr
beacon       Lv 0/1   (not owned)              next: 175 cr
haul         Lv 0/5   (47 lb carry)            next: 90 cr

Buy with 'ally upgrade <id>'.

Upgrades are team-wide: bought once from the shared ship credits, every player in the lobby benefits (levels are synced to everyone, and players who join mid-game get the current levels). The cost of each level scales up the more levels you already own.

Upgrades reference

Level 0 means off for the counter-play auras (sanity, neutralize, seismic, muffle) — buy at least level 1 to enable them.

The Defense Beacon

Outside, around the ship, there are no turrets or mines — so the counter-play auras had nothing to anchor to. The Defense Beacon fixes that.

• Buy it once with ally beacon (costs BeaconPrice, default 175 credits). It's delivered to the ship. Bought once, never re-paid; if it's ever lost, ally beacon re-delivers one for free.
• It's a two-handed prop (a fancy lamp): carry it out into the field (you can't hold anything else and you move slower), and set it down wherever you need cover.
• Wherever it sits, it acts as an allied-defense anchor, so the sanity / seismic / muffle auras work around it — out by the sand worm, near the dogs, wherever.
• A magenta ring on the ground shows the current aura radius. It also appears on the ship monitor (radar map) when the camera is looking near the beacon.
• The haul upgrade makes it lighter to carry.

The beacon is inert on purpose — it hides/deters, it does not shoot.

Allied defenses (turrets, mines, spikes)

• Allied turret — stops shooting players and fires on the nearest visible enemy in range. Shows a green laser toward its target; its light turns green so you can spot it.
• Allied mine — no longer explodes under players; it detonates only when an enemy steps close. Green light while it's on your side.
• Allied spike trap — no longer crushes players; still slams down on enemies underneath.

On the radar/monitor, an allied defense's code turns blue (not the game's green "active" / red "disabled"), with a live countdown of how long it stays allied. Hijacks last a set time (60s by default), then the defense turns hostile again.

Configuration

Settings live in BepInEx/config/Remilulz_91.AlliedDefenses.cfg (created on first launch). ally config shows the live values in-game.

[General]

• HijackCommand = ally — the terminal keyword.
• HijackDuration = 60 — seconds a defense stays allied (0 = unlimited).

[Targeting]

• EnemyDetectionRange = 30 — turret enemy-detection distance (m).
• MineTriggerRadius = 4 — allied-mine detonation radius (m).
• IgnorePlayersWhenAllied = true — allied defenses never hurt players (recommended).

[Economy]

• HijackCreditCost = 0 — credit cost to hijack a defense (0 = free).
• TurretEnemyDamage = 1 — base turret damage per shot (before turretdamage).
• EnableUpgrades = true — enable the buy-with-credits upgrade system.
• UpgradePersistence = Persistent — Persistent keeps upgrades forever (survive death AND game over); PerSave ties them to the save slot (wiped on a game over).

[Beacon]

• EnableBeacon = true — enable the carryable Defense Beacon.
• BeaconPrice = 175 — one-time cost.
• BeaconRingOnMonitor = true — also draw the radius ring on the ship monitor.
• BeaconRingColorHex = FF2DD0 — ring colour (magenta), a colour the map doesn't use.

[Visuals]

• ColorAlliedDefenses = true — tint allied defenses (laser/light + radar code).
• AlliedColorHex = 00FF00 — in-world allied colour (green).
• RadarAlliedColorHex = 1E90FF — radar-map allied colour (blue).

Install

Easiest with r2modman (or any mod manager): select Lethal Company, install AlliedDefenses, and BepInEx comes along. Launch with Start modded.

Make sure every player in the lobby has the mod, same version.

Changelog

0.18.0

• New counter-play: SENSOR CLOAK ('cloak' upgrade). While inside an allied-defense/beacon radius the player's IVisibleThreat.GetVisibility is forced to 0 (the value the game uses for a dead player), so the detection-based enemies can't see them: the unkillable OLD BIRD (RadMechAI), and as a bonus the Forest Giant, Baboon Hawk, Kidnapper Fox and Giant Kiwi. Verified safe (the game already handles visibility 0). Patched manually (explicit interface method). Level 0 = off.

0.17.0

• New HACK TOOL: buy it with 'ally hack', then aim at a locked big door, turret, mine or spike trap and press the hack key (config HackTool/HackKey, default H) to trigger it - like typing its code at the ship terminal, but from inside the facility. Range and price are configurable. Runs the game's own CallFunctionFromTerminal via the host (reliable in multiplayer). Feature toggle HackTool/EnableHackTool.

0.16.1

• Cleanup: removed the old one-time turret prefab-tree diagnostic dump (no longer needed).

0.16.0

• Beacon: auto-store when the ship leaves the moon (no orphaned beacon left behind).
• Beacon: shows on the ship radar/monitor as a selectable target ("Defense Beacon"), like a radar booster, so you can find/view it from the ship. Toggle: config Beacon/BeaconRadarTarget.
• Beacon: new 'slots' upgrade — deploy more than one beacon at once (1 + level, up to 4). At the cap, deploying moves the nearest beacon; 'ally beacon recall' / the recall key removes them all.
• Beacon: deploy feedback (a quick scale "pop" + light flash).

0.15.1

• Beacon recall: store the deployed beacon with a key (config Beacon/BeaconRecallKey, default N) or 'ally beacon recall', so it no longer has to sit in the world. Added a small deploy/recall cooldown to avoid double-triggers. (Any owner can deploy/move/recall; there's only ever one beacon since deploying always removes the previous one first.)

0.15.0

• Beacon redesign for reliable multiplayer. The old beacon was a runtime-built custom GrabbableObject (NetworkBehaviour); that networking was fragile and crashed clients (reparent exceptions, NetworkBehaviour index errors). The beacon is now a DEPLOY-IN-PLACE object: buy it once, then press the deploy key (config Beacon/BeaconDeployKey, default B) to drop it at your position (press again to move it). It's a bare NetworkObject + a plain MonoBehaviour, which replicates cleanly host->client. Removed the two-handed carry and the 'haul' upgrade (no longer carried). Same auras, ring, and magenta monitor ring. Removed the now-unused BeaconItem grabbable.

0.14.0

• Fix multiplayer credits/purchases (host-authoritative). Only the host owns the terminal and can sync the shared credits, so a client buying locally desynced credits and hit "Only the owner can invoke a ServerRpc that requires ownership". Now a client sends a purchase request to the host, which validates against the shared credits, deducts, applies the upgrade / delivers the beacon, and syncs credits + level to everyone. Host/solo purchases are unchanged. Credit read/write moved to a shared ShipCredits helper.

0.13.5

• Fix the multiplayer beacon: disabled NetworkObject.AutoObjectParentSync on the beacon prefab. The game reparents a grabbed item to the player's hand via its own GrabObjectClientRpc; with auto parent-sync on, clients threw "Only the server can reparent NetworkObjects" (and then cascading "NetworkBehaviour index out of bounds"), which broke the beacon on clients. The game now handles the parenting alone.

0.13.4

• Diagnostic for the "NetworkBehaviour index out of bounds" beacon error: log the beacon's NetworkBehaviour count/order ([BeaconNB]) on each peer to find the host/client mismatch.

0.13.3

• Fix multiplayer beacon: the host settles the beacon (reachedFloorTarget/targetFloorPosition) before spawning, but those fields aren't networked, so clients ran the falling animation from unset values (a Unity placement/FallWithCurve error, and the lamp not showing right). Clients now mark the replicated beacon as already settled at its spawn position in OnNetworkSpawn.

0.13.2

• Temporary diagnostics for the multiplayer beacon issue: log the beacon network-prefab hash on each peer, and log BeaconItem.OnNetworkSpawn, to see whether the beacon replicates to clients.

0.13.1

• Fix: 'ally upgrade reset' set the beacon level to 0 but left the physical beacon in the world. The host now despawns all beacons (network-wide) when beacon ownership is removed.

0.13.0

• Localization: the terminal help text (ally / ally help / ally config) is now available in English or French. New config 'General/Language' (default English). Dynamic upgrade list and buy messages stay English for now.
• Thunderstore polish: updated the (outdated) short description to cover the full feature set, and added a Features section at the top of the README for the mod page.

0.12.0

• New 'firerate' upgrade: faster allied-turret fire rate (the fire timer is the mod's own, so this is safe — no game internals touched). ~4.8 shots/s up to ~12.5 shots/s.
• Raised the 'turretdamage' cap from 15 to 25 so you can down tough killable enemies (e.g. the Forest Keeper, 38 HP) by combining damage + fire rate.
• "Protected" cue: a brief HUD tip when the local player steps into an active counter-play aura (only if you own such an upgrade; cooldown avoids spam). Purely cosmetic and client-side.

0.11.2

• New counter-play: CIRCUIT BEES (RedLocustBees). Their line-of-sight aggro near the hive can't be blocked, but their chase state validates the target via PlayerIsTargetable, so while in an allied defense/beacon radius they drop the chase and return to the hive (verified in the DLL - it's the game's own "lost target" path, no crash). Weaker than the others (disengage, not full stealth). New 'bees' upgrade (level 0 = off).

0.11.1

• New counter-play: the HYGRODERE / slime (BlobAI). It picks the closest targetable player via TargetClosestPlayer -> PlayerIsTargetable; when no one is targetable it just roams (verified in the DLL - graceful, no null crash). So near an allied defense/beacon the slow blob wanders off instead of following. New 'slime' upgrade (level 0 = off). Added to the shared untargetable patch.

0.11.0

• New counter-play: the BARBER (ClaySurgeonAI). It dances toward the closest targetable player via TargetClosestPlayer -> PlayerIsTargetable, so — like the sand worm — a player standing inside an allied-defense/beacon radius is made untargetable and the Barber won't jump at them. New 'barber' upgrade (level 0 = off, radius grows per level). The untargetable patch now covers both the worm (seismic) and the Barber (barber).
• Beacon ring colour: both rings are now magenta/pink (config Beacon/BeaconRingColorHex, default FF2DD0) so they can't be confused with the game's map colours (green terrain, blue exit line). The monitor ring recolours an INSTANCE of the radar material, so the game's own exit line is untouched. The in-world beacon light stays green (the "allied" glow).

0.10.1

• Beacon radius on the ship monitor: a second ring is drawn on the radar-map layer (copying the layer + material from the game's own map exit-line), so the beacon's radius shows on the ship monitor too. It only appears when the monitor is looking near the beacon (the camera follows players), as expected. Toggle with config 'Beacon/BeaconRingOnMonitor' (default on).

0.10.0

• Multiplayer sync (step 3): upgrades are now TEAM-WIDE. When any player buys an upgrade (or the beacon) from the shared ship credits, the new level is broadcast to the whole lobby, so every player benefits and the host (which drives enemy behaviour for seismic/muffle) always has the right levels. Late joiners request the full level set from the host on connect. The host persists team upgrades so they survive restarts, even ones a client bought. If a client buys the beacon, the host delivers the physical beacon on its side. All best-effort over the existing networker (solo/host play is unaffected if a build isn't fully netcode-patched).

0.9.9

• Cleanup: dropped the non-working "upright" attempt (the donor item rests on its side by design) and its BeaconUpright config. Removed the testing-only 'ally givecredits' command and its EnableDevCommands config. Trimmed verbose logs (kept load, defense registration, network spawn, beacon delivery, and all errors/warnings).

0.9.8

• Upright fix take 2: forcing the rotation in Update didn't stick because GrabbableObject.LateUpdate (which sets the resting rotation) runs afterwards and overwrote it. Moved the upright logic into a LateUpdate override (after base.LateUpdate), so it now holds. Still behind BeaconUpright.

0.9.7

• Placed beacon now stands upright (the donor model otherwise lay on its side when dropped). Only pitch/roll are flattened, yaw is kept. New config 'Beacon/BeaconUpright' (default true) — set it to false to roll back to the vanilla resting behaviour.

0.9.6

• Radius ring was drawn in the beacon's local space, so it tipped vertical (an arch into the sky) when the beacon was rotated. It is now drawn in world space as a flat horizontal circle on the ground under the beacon, whatever the beacon's orientation.

0.9.5

• Beacon visuals finished: model (Fancy lamp), inventory icon, held position and ground radius ring all working. Removed the verbose [BeaconVisuals] diagnostic log (kept a one-line note of which donor model is used).

0.9.4

• Held view: the old positionOffset (0,-0.3,0.6) shoved the beacon off the bottom-right of the screen. LateUpdate sets the held item's localPosition to positionOffset relative to the item holder, so it is now (0, 0.1, 0.25) to sit naturally in view. Placed look (0.7 m) unchanged.

0.9.3

• Better beacon model: the Apparatus donor was long/thin on one axis (size Z=3.69), so it normalised to a flat object that looked offset from the light and was invisible when held. Now we prefer compact, upright donors (Fancy lamp first) and skip any mesh with a >3:1 aspect ratio. The glow light is moved to the model centre instead of a fixed height above it.

0.9.2

• Model alignment: switch to deterministic pivot centring (renderer.bounds is cached and lied right after the mesh swap) and log the mesh centre/size/scale to diagnose the remaining offset.

0.9.1

• Fix the borrowed model being offset from the collider/grab point (and invisible when held): the donor mesh is now aligned to the beacon pivot using the renderer's real world bounds instead of mesh-local maths, so the model sits exactly on the grab point and shows in hand.

0.9.0

• Beacon now looks like a real item: at runtime it borrows a vanilla item's 3D model AND its inventory icon (no asset bundle), so the in-hand view and the inventory slot are no longer empty.
• Aura radius indicator: a green ring is drawn on the ground around a placed beacon, sized to the largest active aura radius (sanity/seismic/muffle) and updating with your upgrades. Hidden while carried. Visible in-world and through the ship's monitor camera.
• Removed the temporary [GrabProbe] grab-detection diagnostic (grabbing works). [BeaconDiag] on Start also removed.

0.8.10

• Grabbing works now. Fix the "invisible while carried" look: the centre pivot put the camera inside the mesh when held. The held beacon is now offset forward/down (positionOffset) so it sits in front of the camera, and its light is switched off while carried (glows only when placed).

0.8.9

• THE grab fix: the beacon was on layer 8, which is the ship's own geometry layer ("ShipInside" is layer 8). The grab code treats layer 8 (and 30) as "not a grabbable" before it ever checks the PhysicsProp tag, so the beacon was classified as a wall. Moved it to layer 6 ("Props", the real grabbable-item layer, still in the interact mask), so the PhysicsProp tag now routes it to the grab path. Bonus: layer 6 no longer blocks the player's movement.

0.8.8

• Temporary [GrabProbe] diagnostic (dev commands only): replays the game's exact grab ray + LOS check while you aim at the beacon and logs what it sees, to find why the prompt never shows.

0.8.7

• Beacon grab, take 2: the item's pivot was at its base (floor level), and the game's grab line-of-sight check traces to the pivot — a floor-level pivot is blocked by the floor itself. The beacon's visuals/collider are now centred on the pivot and it rests with the pivot 0.5 m off the floor (verticalOffset 0.5), so the line-of-sight is clear. Diag now also logs the collider enabled/trigger state.

0.8.6

• Fix beacon grab: it spawned ~2.8 m up near a shelf (floating/embedded), so the game's line-of-sight check to the item failed and no grab prompt showed. It now spawns on open ship floor (a player spawn point), raycasts down to rest exactly on the floor, and is marked settled so it skips the falling animation. Layer/tag were already correct (confirmed by [BeaconDiag]).

0.8.5

• Temporary diagnostic: the beacon logs its runtime layer/tag/position on Start ([BeaconDiag]) to pin down why grabbing fails. To be removed once grab works.

0.8.4

• Fix: the Defense Beacon could not be picked up. PlayerControllerB.BeginGrabObject requires the hit collider's GameObject to be on layer 8 AND tagged "PhysicsProp"; the beacon was on the wrong layer and had no tag. It now sets layer 8 + "PhysicsProp" and uses a single non-trigger collider.
• Toned down the beacon light/emission (it was washing the whole room bright green).

0.8.3

• Testing aid (opt-in, off by default): config 'Dev/EnableDevCommands'. When true, the terminal accepts 'ally givecredits <n>' to add ship credits so beacon/upgrade purchases can be tested without grinding. Meant to be removed/left disabled for real play.

0.8.2

• Fix a looping NullReferenceException in the menu (GrabbableObject.FallWithCurve): the beacon network-prefab template was left active, so its Update ran every frame with no StartOfRound. The template is now kept inactive and only the spawned copy is activated (before its Spawn).

0.8.1

• Build fix: removed an invalid Item.grabbable assignment in BeaconFactory (grabbable belongs to GrabbableObject, which is already set). No behaviour change from 0.8.0.

0.8.0

• DEFENSE BEACON: a carryable, two-handed heavy prop bought once with ally beacon (price configurable, default 175 cr). Delivered to the ship, carried out into the field (no loot while carrying, slower move), and set down anywhere to anchor the counter-play auras where there are no turrets or mines — near the ship, by the worm, wherever. Bought once and re-delivered free if lost. Built entirely at runtime (no asset bundle) and spawned via the mod's own networking — no new dependency.
• Two new counter-play auras, now usable outdoors thanks to the beacon:
  • seismic: the Earth Leviathan (SandWormAI) hunts by proximity, not sound, and is unkillable. While you stand in the radius, EnemyAI.PlayerIsTargetable is forced false for the worm only, so it can't pick you (and drops you if already chasing).
  • muffle: Eyeless Dogs (MouthDogAI) are blind and hunt by sound. Noises made inside the radius are dropped in MouthDogAI.DetectNoise, so the dogs never hear you there.
• haul upgrade: lowers the beacon's carry weight (~47 lb down to ~16 lb) so you move faster while carrying it (floored, never weightless).
• The sanity/seismic/muffle auras now trigger near a placed beacon as well as near a hijacked in-facility defense (AnyAlliedWithin also checks the beacon registry).

0.7.0

• Counter-play against the "unkillable" enemies, via two new upgrades (both off by default):
  • sanity: while you stand near an allied defense, your hidden insanity bleeds down, so the Ghost Girl targets and escalates on you less (suppress/delay, not an off switch).
  • neutralize: an allied turret watching a Coil-Head freezes it in place (host-side; the freeze lingers a moment after the turret loses sight, scaling with the level).

0.6.2

• Two more upgrades: turret range (+5m/level) and allied-mine radius (+1m/level). ally config now shows the effective (upgraded) duration, range and mine radius.

0.6.1

• Configurable save mode (UpgradePersistence):
  • Persistent (default): upgrades kept forever on this install, even through a game over.
  • PerSave: upgrades tied to the current save slot (per slot), wiped on a game over — stored in the game save via ES3, with a guarded game-over hook.

0.6.0

• Upgrade system (foundation): buy upgrades with ship credits via the terminal (ally upgrades, ally upgrade <id>, ally upgrade reset). First two upgrades: hijack duration and turret damage.

0.5.0

• New allied defense: SPIKE TRAPS. ally <id> / ally spikes. An allied spike trap no longer crushes players but still slams down on enemies caught underneath.

0.4.0

• Removed the manual remote turret control system entirely: the ally control / ally release commands, the mouse-aim / left-click-to-fire, and the OpenBodyCams dependency are gone.
• The mod now focuses on the allied turrets & mines features (hijack by id, auto-target enemies, colour cues, radar timer).

0.3.5

• Fix terminal commands failing for a player after they disconnect and reconnect: the network handler reference is now re-acquired if the old one was destroyed (and cleared on despawn) instead of staying stale.

0.3.4

• Updated required dependencies to their latest versions: BepInExPack 5.4.2305, OpenBodyCams 3.0.12.

0.3.3

• Fixed the GitHub website link (Remilulz91, no underscore).

0.3.2

• Workflow: the Thunderstore publish step is skipped cleanly when no TS_TOKEN is set (so the build stays green); set the secret to enable auto-publish.
• Added website_url to the manifest.

0.3.1

• OpenBodyCams added as a required dependency (for the manual-control monitor view).
• README rewritten for players (what the mod does + how to use it); dev/build details moved to the separate guide files.

0.3.0

• Automatic Thunderstore publishing from GitHub on each version tag (see PUBLISH_THUNDERSTORE.md).

0.2.9

• Reduce "see through walls" in the turret view: the camera now sits on a mount placed a bit behind the muzzle (in open space) instead of inside the wall the turret is bolted to.

0.2.8

• Fix tilted/rolling turret view: aiming now keeps "up" toward world up (no roll drift), so the body-cam image stays level.
• Brief one-shot muzzle flash per shot (left-click to fire) for clear feedback.
• "ally control <id>" now auto-releases the turret you were controlling, so you can switch turrets without pressing the release key first.

0.2.7

• Removed the control light entirely (it caused the white-out and stayed enabled via the saved config even after the default was flipped). The turret view now always uses the body cam's natural auto-exposed image.

0.2.6

• Control now respects the 60s hijack timer (it expires and control ends with it).
• Removed "ally control" (nearest); use "ally control <id>" (find ids with "ally turrets").
• Control light OFF by default (HDRP auto-exposure was blowing it out to white); the body cam's natural auto-exposed view is used instead. Still tunable in the config.

0.2.5

• "ally turrets" / "ally mines" now LIST the defenses and their ids (instead of hijacking all of them), so you can pick one to hijack/control.
• Fix control ending instantly on an already-allied turret: taking control now refreshes the timer, and a turret won't expire while it's being controlled.
• Fix white-out monitor: control light intensity lowered (default 200) and pushed ahead of the muzzle so it lights the scene, not the camera.

0.2.4

• Robust networking: the host now applies hijack/control/aim DIRECTLY (locally) and only uses RPCs to mirror to remote clients, wrapped so a failure is non-fatal. Fixes the "RPC hash not found" crashes that blocked control in solo, regardless of netcode-patch reliability.

0.2.3

• Fix endless firing: removed the looping muzzle particle Play() that never stopped.
• Add a control light on the turret while driving it, so its dark facility view is visible on the monitor (configurable intensity, HDRP-aware).

0.2.2

• Fix RPC "hash not found" spam: aim is now applied locally and broadcast at ~20 Hz via the working host->ClientRpc path (host no longer calls a ServerRpc on itself).
• Fix mouse sensitivity (was multiplied by deltaTime, making it crawl).
• Fix fire that wouldn't stop (firing state now updates locally every frame).

0.2.1

• Remote turret control via OpenBodyCams (soft dependency): the ship monitor shows the turret's view, you aim with the mouse and fire with LMB. Restored to the player on release. Without OpenBodyCams the turret still obeys the mouse (no remote view).

0.2.0

• Manual control reworked: the turret now follows where you LOOK (no more buggy monitor gun-cam). LMB fires. The ship monitor keeps its normal radar view.

0.1.9

• ally control with no id now takes over the NEAREST turret (handy for solo/testing where you can't read a turret's terminal code).

0.1.8

• Turrets now actually aim: rotate the real turretRod (RotatingRodContainer) toward the target instead of the non-rotating centerPoint. Beam and shots come from the muzzle (aimPoint). Fixes the "stares at the wall / frozen" behaviour.
• Manual control and the monitor gun-cam follow the rotating rod too.

0.1.7

• Better turret diagnostic: logs the full prefab tree and the Turret's Transform fields (reflection) once, to identify the real rotation node.

0.1.6

• Fix: NullReferenceException spam after a mine exploded. Destroyed defenses are now detected (Unity-null) and dropped from the active list instead of being ticked.
• Per-defense tick is wrapped in try/catch so one bad object can't flood the logs.

0.1.5

• Allied mines now glow green (in-world) so you can tell they're hijacked.
• Allied turrets idle-sweep instead of freezing when no enemy is in range.
• One-time turret hierarchy log (when a turret is hijacked) to pinpoint the real rotation pivot — a tuning aid for the aiming.

0.1.3

• Ships the network handler fix (missing class-level [HarmonyPatch] on NetworkObjectManager) in a fresh version.

0.1.2

• Fix: the network handler is now actually spawned. NetworkObjectManager was missing its class-level [HarmonyPatch], so Harmony's PatchAll ignored it and the handler never registered/spawned (commands replied "Network handler not ready yet").
• Robust spawn on StartOfRound.Start (host-only, spawn-once) + diagnostic logging.

0.1.1

• More robust network handler spawn (on StartOfRound.Start, host-only, spawn-once).
• Added diagnostic logging around prefab registration and spawn.

0.1.0

• Initial version.
• Hijack turrets and mines from the ship terminal: ally <id> (e.g. ally U9), or whole groups with ally turrets / ally mines.
• Allied defenses target enemies instead of players (no friendly fire).
• ally control <id>: manual remote control of a turret from the ship monitor (mouse aim, LMB fire), ally release to stop.
• ally help and ally config terminal commands.
• Live m:ss countdown on the radar code box.
• Colour feedback: green laser/light in the dungeon, blue code on the radar.
• Multiplayer-synced.
