... this, I want to make a horror themed mod that adds a couple types of enemies to the game. 1) wasp the looks like the attachment shown. 2) a creepy queen mosquito that can shoot blood and is a mosquito spawner, that can spawn all 1-4 sizes of mosquitos that are visibly different, fly and attack ...

... it will take a long time to produce the fuel and while it is working, it will atract all the bitters of the planet and at some point, the bitter's queen itself (a worthy adversary for the robotic spider). Player will need to plan the defense and gather resources to keep the defense up during the ...

... crafting recipes like: Nest Cutter( You have to use a specific tool to open up the nests, which will spawn hordes of biters, to get access to the queen of the Biters or Queen of the Spitters( Like a Ant Queen)) --Biter Queen --Spitter Queen -Breeding Station( You put the Queen inside the Breeding ...

... Seems like several of them must martyr themselves and a new spawner will then appear. What if they burrow into the ground or something? Maybe a 'queen biter' is birthed at a (distant) spawner, finds the new spot, and then coccoons herself into a new spawner bubble? Apologies if this has already ...

... factor to endless (like everything else in the game) and let players limit the limit - Biter should be like Ants and have a Ant like economy -> Queen making nests - nests produce eggs - eggs produce workers and soliders. workers harvest ?? WOOD ?? MUSHROOMS ?? - Allow biters to have resistances ...

... automation / crafting wise). A game where there's an objective; perhaps land on the planet, survive, overcome the hostile aliens, and kill the queen, then escape. Subnautica almost scratched it, but there isn't much combat to that. So I'm looking for an experience in Factorio where the aliens ...

... which is kind of lame I thought how it would be possible to increase the dynamic to be more interesting especially in the late game. Idea: Spawn a Queen with low Probability which is a strong enemy - Queens have more health and they protect themselves (withdraw) if love is going low (<66%). - Have ...

... all bugs. Map should be limited to kill everyone (maybe more aggressive bugs at theyre small number?) or there could be megabug to kill (mother/queen) like in the movie Starship Troopers (1997) or you build some device that you could controle every bug 4, Star gate - you could build some superstructure ...

... is there a hive mind alien, with her generals that commands the aliens species (something similar to statecraft's cerebrates) and where the hive queen will be it will be heavily guarded by her generals and the behemoth aliens (A lot of them. This mechanic can be added to a new game mode called ...

... will we ever get any update to the natives of the planets? More biter-variants? More wild-life animals? Some kind of global hive-mind with biter queen/s? New biter types like rhino-biter that would charge straight into walls? Shield-biter that would absorb X bullet type? Flying biters? Digging ...

TL;DR Make NPC's! You could find other crashed spaceships and trade with their inhabitants! Also, you could have The Hive, which contain the alien queen, which you could converse with and perhaps even make deals and treaties. What ? This is a feature which would improve the story side of the game ...

... Player must be punished for building fails or not enough power. Also, we need more alien types. Maybe air units and maybe a special biter type (A queen or something similar) that attacks if u kill enough nests and the queen is HARDLY to kill (20000HP or more). U need some nuke's for it or tons ...

... thats exactly what I am doing now. I still didn't even got the circuits and signals and all).

... defensive systems and alien types could be easily expanded on in later updates for even more depth, maybe even small boss fights against King and Queen Aliens. Thank you for your read. I hope these systems make sense and sound like they could make fun. If you want to elaborate on this idea, please ...

So I am starting development on two mods, Alien Queen, and Mad science. They do what their names suggest, however I do want to outline what these mods will do: Alien Queen will add in a new mob, the Alien queen, with the option of researching several ...

... science that will destroy the aliens, and add in eco friendly technologies as well, and add in a choice to become allies with the biters (A biter queen?) or a choice to kill them and ravage the planet for profit. The thing is Factorio is a brilliant game, but in reality it is logistics and automation, ...

... launch rocket, all is well and no changes here. Once you launch rocket you trigger attack on your silo, that will be provided by your LOVELY alien queen.
