Hello, Someone recently said that they'd like to see different graphics for Bob's Electronics. As it happens, I made some different graphics for Bob's Electronics. Here they are. For the moment I'm just linking the images directly, so you can download them and overwrite the appropriate graphics file...

You say that, but right now they biters do not apply themselves.

They're more of an environmental threat than a directed one, even on pretty high biter count. While biter variety would be great, different biter behaviour can also make a VAST difference

Don't put them near trains and they won't get squashed? If they're fairly short ranged (the helper robots) that would work nicely.

It could be a problem for the biter-AI things, yeah.

This mod -ALSO- multiplies the number of rails you get by 5, and the number of concrete you get by 10. While that's not necessarily a bad change, the fact that you DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE DOING THIS anywhere in the mod description is quite annoying, because I already had a mod that does precisely that. ...

That would probably be a fine solution, and I can't think of any good reason I didn't think of it. I know how the resistances work, I know perfectly well you could set 95%/0 resist to acid or something. But yes, something like that would be great. If you feel like doing it please do :) If not I migh...

Ditto the above - an armor that's not quite as good as the base modular would be ideal.

Even more so if I could tinker with it to have a base solar production, base batteries, and base conduit, but then maybe only have space for a roboport OR shields...

There's these, if you think you'd like them better. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=6496&start=60#p100480 I might have something I almost finished for the green ones as well but I thought they looked quite good personally so I didn't fiddle with green or up much. Those tend ...

I'd really like non-flying helper logic. I'm not so fussed about them being biters - in fact, I'd like them to be the little legged robots we see (saw?) on the robotics tech. I keep feeling a short range, cheaper to build, construct only, maybe even green science only walker construction robot would...

Now all we need is a turret that fires drone capsules...

But we're not looking for solely the FPS friendly solution, are we? Presumably most people who download this mod want to actually be pressured by the biters to some degree, such that they can't just build 10 laser turrets at one side of their base, 10 at the other side, and happily forget about the ...

If the rails were tough enough, a robot would be dispatched to fix it as the train rolled over it - you'd have to fix any ACTUAL breaks yourself, yes, but a constantly rolling gun and robot train would keep most incidents down. I'd like that personally. Yes, you'd need a lot of robots, and they'd of...

It would be interesting if the total water per lake were related to, say, tiles^2.

That might do what you want, and might even be possible? You'd need to scan the lake to see how big it was, mind you, then divide to get the appropriate value per-tile.

After some playtesting (admittedly, in a low resources game) I also would agree that the underground resources are perhaps not rich enough to really justify the investment. For reference - I start mining and get reported values of maybe 0.4 to 0.6 ore and a bit less stone per cycle, and after about....

If nothing else works, you could also try putting the nil check in its own function (possibly inline) and just using pcall to see whether it worked. I'm not sure how expensive that sort of try-catch behaviour is in Lua, but if nothing else works it could be a useful fallback. Of course, I'm not sure...

It's the not getting anywhere part that's the difficult bit. It'll tie up biters and cpu cycles. If it could be done that the spitters would ignore it, but the melee-biters would bite it, cost electricity, and die, that would be great though. Of course, they should also do damage to the rails (once ...

Yes, the goal of the mod is to be so challenging that defeat is possible. Hence the name, "Misanthrope". Oh I know, I was just checking that was the intended behaviour at 50%, since there's a tier for "assault" and I would consider this pretty actively towards my structures alre...

Are they meant to get this close at 50% evolution?

I was just about doing okay until it breached 50, and then... uh, well, now this. I'm not sure I'll be able to recover.

I can't test it at the moment so this might just be garbage I've pieced together from remembered Lua knowledge and some internet crosschecking...

But, does change anything? I don't really see why it should, but maybe it's worth trying.

It's possible to update mods, but it is a lot of work. For what you say you want, there are easier solutions. Why do you need many many items? Is the trunk of the car not enough item space for you? I've honestly never filled it. It might be easier to mod yourself a new car, with more storage space. ...

I'd love it if smaller worms attacked at lower evolution levels, but could be stopped entirely with the tier tier of flooring. Stone bricks or higher for small or medium worms, concrete or any mod flooring to stop large worms.

Is that possible?
