I'm curious to try out the tick approach to maintaining the pheromone map.

viewtopic.php?f=30&t=45803

fixed for the next version

local playerPosition = game.players[1].position local chunkX = playerPosition.x local chunkY = playerPosition.y local entity = game.surfaces[1].create_entity({name="small-electric-pole", force="player", position={chunkX - 20, chunkY - 20}}) entity.destructible = false local grou...

I believe the "building safety" for now replaces the entities to save them? Yes, the code is what you are expecting. The repo is up on github, the place you are looking for is https://github.com/veden/Rampant/blob/master/control.lua#L230 otherwise I can add the code for this later tonight...

I dont know if adding additional wall types would be smart, since there are already bunch of mods doing exactly that, and i dont think people want some new walls in a Biter AI mod. This was my thought as well, that is why I didn't mention walls originally. Could you maybe give me the current number...

I could add resistances to walls, which could also mean that certain types of spitters of the same size do more damage to walls than others.

Would adding different types of walls or tiers or just buff the normal ones be preferable?

So currently to offset the high damage and splash I had reduced the range of small and medium spitters to 13 and 14 with big+ at the normal 15. I can reduce the splash and/or the damage, part of the problem is when the player is in combat against spitters without the splash it is too easy to dodge a...

Damm biters!! They're getting smarter techniques every day, now they're hanging our games, gotta deal with those cockroaches!! I'm running version 0.15.7 of this great challenging mod and after walking around, doing stuff, driving through the base, just before the autosave this error pops out: http...

I really liked the "horror aspect" of the Scary Nights mod, that caused the planet's natives to primarily attack during the night. But that mod is no longer getting updated, so can't be used with 0.15, and it had some problems with massive CPU usage anyway. But... I like the idea. Is ther...

Have you made a bug report in the official bug report area for factorio?

I would post there.

I'm not sure what in my mod would be causing that, but only a small handful of things have been changed for 0.15 from the 0.14 version of this mod.

Can we have it so that "Use Natural Evolution Unit Launchers (Needs NE)" is disabled by default in 0.15 unless the NE mod is installed. Tracking down what was causing my game to crash when Quitting and Restarting was the most annoying thing ever when you have 80 mods. Edit: Or at least gi...

Modding Interface Request: Stream type to support collision_box, collision_mask Thanks for making the request. I will also look into trying out a different way of doing the projectiles.

I'm crossposting because I don't know whose code it would fall under but the Dumb Spitter Shots bypass Walls Block Spitters Mod, rendering my turrets vulnerable when I was expecting otherwise I don't know how possible it will be to actually make the non-homing versions collide with something due to...

I didn't name one of the settings very well, "make buildings safe from biters" needs to be enabled for any of the make safe toggles.
I'm uploading a new version with updated verbiage:
"Enable building safety."

The situation is: ***NOTE When I say biter I mean a unit group with at least one unit.

The build v0.15.3 has that code integrated and configuration options in the mod menu.

Should be a config option within the mod to toggle the projectiles.
config.useDumbProjectiles = true
set to false.

I haven't migrated the config to the new method in 0.15 yet, but the old config.lua should work.

Out of curiosity, what do you dislike about the non homing versions?
