💠 Beacon 💠

The beacon is inspired by the Age of Empires II Wonder, a building that, when fully upgraded, will tick a countdown to victory.

It provides friendly units and players a selection of auras which can be activated after upgrading it:

• 💵 Level 1: Wealth: Grants a trickle of free resources
• ⛏ Level 2: Haste: Workers in range build faster
• ❤ Level 3: Regeneration: Units heal over time
• 🛡️ Level 4: Resistance: Units take less damage
• ⚔ Level 5: Strength: Units deal more damage

Only one aura can be active at a time.

When built in Wave Survival or Classic mode, it starts as a Stone Beacon and must be upgraded to add auras and achieve victory.

When placed in Sandbox, the beacon is fully upgraded, invulnerable and can be captured by any player with the largest nearby army. - Beacons can't change ownership if the original owner still has any units within a 20-block range

🏗️ Sandbox Mode 🏗️

Sandbox mode is a gamemode where mapmakers can:

• Place capturable neutral buildings
• Place any building without workers
• Spawn any units from any faction
• Set allegiance of whatever you're placing (owned, neutral, enemy)
• Toggle cheats with buttons instead of typing

Tips for using sandbox mode:

• Using /rts-reset won't destroy any neutral buildings placed in sandbox mode, use /rts-hard-reset to do this
• You can control and delete neutral and enemy units
• If you're in multiplayer, choosing to start sandbox mode will lock everyone else into sandbox as well
