The mod I made is basically 'new' Xenon ships/equipment/equipmentmods that the player can build. I also wanted to get the AI to use them in some sort of invasion force. I made a md script to automatically add the blueprints to the player at game start and made sure the owner faction in wares.xml is set to xenon.
If I want the AI to use them instead of the regular jobs I need to make a Job xml accompanied by a Shipgroups xml and Ships xml, right? Only my scout patrol seems to be randomly spawning and I have no idea why. If I remove all the jobs only the standard Xenon miner seems to be spawning.
I've been looking at code from other mods and searched the internet to try and find an answer, but so far no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

<!-- CONCEPT: overextension. absolute limits are set in the galaxy quota - a faction will never build and deploy more than this number of this job.
if a job's galaxy quota is set equal to the faction's starting number of the relevant space type,
that leaves no space for expansion
thus overextending immediately upon conquering more space.
defining some point at which a faction overextends can be set by changing the galaxy quota of jobs
relative to starting conditions,
and relative to total number of spaces.
for effectively no risk of overextension, set to total number of that space type in the galaxy.
some additional complexity is available by keeping track of front line spaces vs border spaces vs internal spaces.
At the moment, jobs are mostly set to have enough numbers to cover only the space that they start with, this coverage stretching as the faction expands.
Jobs marked _exp can expand past the faction's starting territory, but only up to a point. These allow a faction to expand to a point largely defined here.
Nature of reinforcement resulting from expansion is also largely defined by these jobs.
Jobs marked _comp are capable of occupying a relatively small volume of space in numbers that are more significant than normal.
These tend to resist compression, tending to concentrate as a faction contracts.
Totals:
Clusters: 47 (33)
Sectors: 60 (44)
Zones: 396 (162) -->
