Chronosfear wrote:Hi,
thanks for the mod.
Im playing it for some hours already and it is somewhat hard. ( as you said )

If been forced to use quite a bunch of gun turrets and even do some research on them

Now I´m sitting in my large fortress ( cant kill bigger bitter nests yet )
I´m asking myself if my tamed bitters can attack enemy bases ( or at least try to do so ) on their own. ( other than the "follow"-me item )
I don`t like them following me , cause i end up shooting my own bitters

If not. I think it would be a nice option to have if possible ( maybe with a config on/off )

I tried to make biters not attack rails. So I removed the "player-creation" flag. As a result, they won't show up on the mini-map

It also seems it prevents making blueprints of rails.

It could work better if you'd make them indestructible - wouldn't affect anything else and this flag seems important. Would need a test to see if they can still be mined with that flag set.

It's not prototype field, it's entity field. You need to do that when they are built.
Other way to try would be to remove "player-creation" from the prototype flags in definition or rails.

Darkestnoir, what version of Factorio are you using? If you're using 12.10, are you using that version of my Mod?
Thanks.

I can't test at the moment.
Give the attached N.E. Enemies Control.lua file a try and let me know if that fixed the crash.

Yes, the higher the evolution factor, the closer they can expand to your base. At very high evo it's 0, so no restrictions.
