Encounter tools for Salvage Union. sheet-salvage-union goes to 1.3.0 and salvage-union-wiki to 1.0.3.

NPCs

• tools/salvage-union/build.mjs reads the Foundry actors pack: 49 NPCs, vehicles, drones and Bio-Titans, each with its actions (damage, range, traits, action type and text). They go into Salvage Union Data as NPC`.
• +encounter/bestiary [<group or npc>] lists or reads them. +encounter/stat <npc> reads one in an encounter.
• The GM adds them with +encounter/npc [<count>] <npc or chassis>. A chassis adds an enemy mech, and +encounter/fit <npc>=<part> arms it within the chassis slots.

Running the fight

• +encounter/initiative rolls the Group Initiative table and starts a round. +encounter/turn [<who>] marks a turn taken, and +encounter shows who still has to act.
• +encounter/act <npc>[/<action>][=<target>[/pilot]] rolls on the NPC Action table once per Multi-Attack. On 6 or more the damage comes off the target's encounter copy, doubled on a 20. A mech takes half of HP damage (rounded down) and a pilot takes double SP damage.
• +encounter/hit <npc>=<n> [HP|SP] damages an NPC with the same conversions. +encounter/heal gives HP or SP back.

Salvage

• +encounter/salvage <npc> on a wrecked vehicle or drone gives its Salvage Value in scrap of its Tech Level (the Scrap ability).
• On a mech it rolls the Mech Salvage table, and =<part> takes what the roll allows.
• +encounter/spoils lets the GM award what a Bio-Titan or a ruin yields.
• Salvage waits with the member's copy, so nothing leaks until the GM keeps it. On /keep, scrap goes into the crawler's hold as a ledger entry for the member, and parts go onto the sheet's MECHSALVAGE` list, damaged.
• Downtime repairs salvage at the crawler's Tech Level or lower and moves it to MECHSPARES`.
• +mech/install and +mech/chassis let an approved pilot fit a repaired part. +mech/breakdown turns salvage into scrap for the hold.

Help and docs: new topics encounter npcs, encounter rounds, encounter salvage and mech salvage, plus updates to the README and the wiki's "on this game" page.

Play-tested on a local server

• Fought raiders, a Rifle Squad (2 attacks), a Hover Drone (T4), a Combat Drone (T2), a Tank (T3), a Mule enemy mech fitted with Red Laser and Armour Plating, Scylla, and Meld Drones.
• Hits against mech and pilot and 0-SP/HP hints; NPC down and wrecked states; round tracking and refusals.
• Scrap at T2/T3/T4, the Mech Salvage roll and its picks (refusing a chassis when the roll doesn't allow it), and GM spoils at T5. On keep, the crawler ledger entries and sheet salvage were written.
• Downtime with the crawler at Tech 1 repaired only the T1 part. At Tech 3 it repaired the T3 Missile Pod, which then installed.
• Breakdown into scrap worked.
• PackageValidator --strict passes.
