Resource Management: Like the base game, prioritize Extractors on white dots for high income. Fabricators can be placed anywhere but are more expensive and generate money slower.

Defense: Use the mod's upgraded turrets. In OAC, some defensive structures can be upgraded to high tiers (e.g., Tier 3 or Artillery) for massive range and damage increases.

Weather Effects: Some versions of OAC include weather effects like rain. These are often built into the mod's environment settings and may be toggled in specific map or mod options if available. Additional Resources

Design & Balance Approach

Compatibility-first: The mod author aimed to balance new units so they don’t break vanilla matches and so other mods can reference or include Sentinel faction content without conflict.
Compact faction design: instead of a single monolithic overhaul, OAC provides three compact, distinct factions to diversify matchups while keeping overall unit counts manageable.
Community-oriented tweaks: updates (such as the Conya Update) indicate iterative balancing and content additions based on feedback or the author’s roadmap.

Tips for Players

Try each faction in sandbox first to learn unit roles and counters before using them in ranked or multiplayer matches.
If a modded faction seems over- or under-powered, look for an updated version or community patch—many mod authors update after feedback.
Back up your Rusted Warfare saves and mod folders before installing multiple large mods.

Troubleshooting Common OAC Issues

Even veteran modders encounter problems. Here are frequent OAC errors: The OAC (Ozrant, Ape, Conya) mod is a

Issue: "Error loading unit: unknown type 'oac_shield_gen'"

Fix: You are running OAC with another incompatible mod. Disable all other mods. OAC must run alone or with only map packs.

Issue: Game crashes when building a T4 factory.

Fix: Lower your graphics settings in the config file. T4 units have high-resolution sprites that can overwhelm older graphics cards. Set low_quality_mode=1 in options.txt.

Issue: Units are invisible (purple/black squares).

Fix: The mod textures failed to load. Re-install the mod and ensure your file path has no spaces or special characters.

Shield Layering

In vanilla, shields are binary (on/off). In OAC, shields have multiple layers:

Kinetic Shield (stops bullets and shells)
Energy Shield (stops lasers and plasma)
Penetration Value – High-tier weapons have "shield pierce" percentages. A Pierce 50% laser will ignore half of your shield health.

Why Play the OAC Mod Over Vanilla?

While Rusted Warfare is excellent for quick multiplayer matches (often called "Rusted Warfare Mobile" on Android), the OAC mod is designed for long-form, epic strategy battles.

Game Length: Vanilla matches last 10–20 minutes. OAC matches can last 1–3 hours, with massive back-and-forth campaigns.
Strategic Depth: In vanilla, spamming the most expensive unit usually wins. In OAC, you need anti-shield, anti-swarm, anti-air, and anti-experimental units in every army.
Co-op Survival: Many custom OAC scenarios exist that turn the game into a tower-defense/survival hybrid, where waves of Corrupted units attack you and three allies.

2. Key Units to Learn (Beginner’s List)

| Unit Name | Role | Pro Tip | |-----------|------|----------| | OAC Light Laser Fighter | Air superiority | Cheap, fast, great vs. other fighters. Useless vs. ground. | | OAC Siege Cannon | Long-range artillery | Immobile when firing. Protect with shields or walls. | | OAC Stealth Bomber | Base destruction | Invisible on radar. Manual target their factory. | | OAC Flak Walker | Anti-air | 4-legged mech. Moves while firing. Your best AA option. | Design & Balance Approach

[Mod Release] Rusted Warfare: Operation Arctic Control (OAC)

Version: 1.0 | Game Version: 1.15+ | Author: [Your Name]

Overview Operation Arctic Control (OAC) transforms Rusted Warfare into a cold-war gone hot scenario. This mod focuses on heavy armor, ballistic missiles, and survival mechanics. It introduces a new faction designed for winter warfare, offering a complete overhaul of the tech tree with a focus on high-health units and tactical positioning.

Features

New Faction: The Arctic Coalition A fully functional new faction replacing the standard GF (or added as a separate spawn). Their units are slower but pack much heavier armor and long-range artillery.
Revamped Tech Tree
- T1 & T2 Factories: Produce unique winter-camouflaged variants of tanks, infantry, and hovercraft.
- Experimental Hub: Houses the end-game units, including the "Glacier" Super-Heavy Tank and the "Permafrost" Shield Generator.
New Mechanics
- Thermal Vision: New scout units have extended sight radius in fog-of-war.
- Ice Terrain: Maps designed for OAC feature slippery ice physics (if using the map editor scripts).
- Bunkers System: Infantry can garrison specific structures for increased defense.

Unit Highlights

The "Icebreaker" Artillery: A T2 mobile artillery piece that fires in bursts. Excellent for breaking stalemates but vulnerable to fast flankers.
"Frostbite" Stealth Bomber: An air unit that turns invisible when not attacking. Drops cluster bombs ideal for taking out resource lines.
"Avalanche" Experimental: The super-unit of the mod. A massive, treaded fortress that creates its own shield bubble and fires long-range cruise missiles.

Known Issues / Balancing

Pathfinding on ice tiles can sometimes cause units to "slide" past their waypoints.
AI may struggle with the new experimental factory if resources are low (recommend playing on Medium+ economy).
