I hope it is an effective compromise to pheromones on the field to model ant behavior, which could do awsome stuff but is certainly too processor heavy. Hacking a hole through the wall and ...

I would like to have that implemented with pheromones. https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3440&hilit=smell That could be a good idea. I mean, I haven't read the linked to posts yet, but something where Biters and Spitters ...

Yeah, the pheromones idea is also not very far grown. The problem is, that the devs are needed to implement a first better-than-nothing version of "pheromones spreading". It's a bit like the pollution spreading, but we ...

Yeah, I've forgotten about the pheromones That's much better idea. Still, I meant this one to be kind of placeholder.

... It'd still be able to work in a similar way at least, and would lead to more interesting AI overall. Heck could even give the player ways to make pheromones, or get rid of certain ones. And probably include into the mod API ways to make your own 'scents' that change AI behavior..as well as what ...

Look for pheromone based pathfinding. I don't see much difference between pollution, smell and devastation, technically it can be computed with the same code.

... would be to create a second pollution-like layer so that it can both spread and dissipate. Would need some balancing to find out how much of this pheromone to release per kill to get a reasonable effect, but seems like something very insect-like, therefore perfect for the biters (and SST's bugs ...

This could be interesting, in particular the pheromone system, possibly you could research and build machines that produce/inhibit particular pheromones. Also possibly exude synthetic pheromones that are not found naturally, such as a pacifying ...

I add here: Different layers of pheromones have different "spread", they "stay" differently long in the air. For example: "Angriness" spreads very fast into all directions over large areas and stays long, while ...
