Any update of this mod on the way?

I wonder, and maybe this depends on the mod I'm using, but I have a feeling the biters are responding to my total amount of pollution generated, regardless of if it is in one location or spread over multiple locations. ;-(

This mod combined with Resource Spawner Overhaul and Energy Crisis is brutal...

Sounds like a good temporary solution when in a pinch like I was.

The evolved bug behavior though really got me. I wasn't expecting them to chew through my walls so easily, or come so relentlessly in waves. I'm not sure how I could have guarded against in, save for keeping pollution much lower by ...

Mission accomplished... Thing's are certainly tougher now. Especially the combination of fewer resources with more aggressive bugs.

I ended up running out of iron before I was able to finish my train line to a very distant iron deposit, making it hard to invest in enough base defense so that I ...

For some reason I was getting large clumps of highly dense resources, with 3-4k per square! I went into the config file and turned the numbers down though, which seemed to fix the issue.

Anybody else finding this is giving you too many resources???

After getting back into Factorio after a half year absence and tinkering a bit, I decided to start fresh with a few mods installed to make things much tougher. Here is what I'm doing now....

MODS -

Resource Spawner Overhaul (resources appear further out, bugs are spread out a bit more too, to ...

A very nice post. Thank you for going into some of the thoughts behind the game. Factorio is something like an exploration of or meditation on technology and progress. The way that the factory takes on a "life of its own". It is quite philosophical in this way. The player begins with very simple ...

Nice. I saw a few Japanese LPs online and a Japanese wiki too. Really nice to see Japanese fans of overseas indie games working on helping make them more accessible.

I did search for this too, and I found that the discussion was a bit fragmented. One of the threads was actually filled with like a dozen comments.

Anyhow, definitely want this feature. Some little lake should be drained up real fast by a large boiler system.

Wow.

Did you need to do a lot of deconstruction and reconstruction to get it looking so nice, given that this is your first factory?

I love how the devs (dev?) have a very close eye for the little things. Playing the stable release, I noticed that there was no warning sound when things were being attacked. If you weren't paying attention to the map you might turn around to find a bunch of stuff had been destroyed. I also noticed ...

Yay! I am getting that crash bug a bit too, but it's worth it to enjoy the updated sound effects etc. Very nice!

On day Factorio day two now and my third sandbox map. I just got my first refinery up and going. Wow what a journey.

I love it how you can just walk around your factory watching it purr along, and both admire the neatness of the little solutions you invented, and be awed at the same time by the ...

Thanks for the advice. I started a new game anyhow to make use of what I learned in the first few hours and through watching a few lets plays, and I took the opportunity to nudge up the size of the critter spawns. I also learned how to see the smog on the map, so I can see it getting closer to ...

Only just found this today. Really enjoying it. ;-)

Just a quick question.

I've started a sandbox mode game with standard settings, and a few hours in and I've yet to have any critters attack my base. Is it just because I'm not pumping out enough pollution yet? I have a bunch of boilers going ...
