Outpost Network

Read-only index of every owned outpost, including home. Use it for routing, deployment planning, capacity dashboards, and nearest-service decisions without hardcoding outpost_1, outpost_2, etc. An outpost’s .x and .y identify its footprint anchor; for an at-building action, select that outpost’s BuildingRef and route to .position. Construction planning belongs to Plan Mode and Construction Blueprint; physical work belongs to Constructor scripts.

Access: get_component("outpost_network") · Like every component, exposes .id and .name.

Methods

.outposts()

All owned outposts as OutpostRef snapshots. Each ref includes .id, .name, .x, .y, .is_home, .buildings_used, .buildings_capacity, .is_full. Coordinates are the top-left footprint anchor, not a building’s docking point. Re-query for fresh names and counts.

Returns: List of OutpostRef

.home()

The home outpost as an OutpostRef.

Returns: OutpostRef

.nearest(x, y)

Nearest owned outpost to the given world coordinate. Useful before routing a vehicle home to recharge or choosing where a constructor should stage.
