Chaos Engine#

A controlled chaos mod that introduces randomness and unpredictability to Tower Networking Inc through keyboard-triggered events and automatic stat randomization.

Description#

Chaos Engine lets you shake things up in your tower with debug console commands that trigger random events, plus automatic randomization of user stats for unpredictable gameplay.

Features#

Console Commands#

Press ~ to open the debug console, then type a command:

Disaster Mode#

When activated (m_disaster), all random event rates are multiplied:

• Device failures
• Power outages
• Power surges
• Worm spawns

The multiplier is configurable (default 5x). Run m_chaos_reset to restore original rates.

User Stat Randomization#

When users spawn, their stats are randomized within configurable ranges:

Note: Daily rate is intentionally NOT modified to avoid conflicts with other mods.

   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Tower Networking Inc\mods\
   • Linux: ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/Tower Networking Inc/mods/
2. Load or reload the game (F11 to reload mods)
3. You should see “Chaos Engine mod loaded!” in the console
