I have attached an even better save game to show the problem to this message, called 34MW5. It's a continuation of the previous game, but now with a 34MW factory. It also got a few towers to kill the few stray bitters which come by, so I don't have to walk back. On the map, you can see the biter bas...

Do the save files you provided meet the criteria I stated or not? 24MW1 does meet the stated criteria. (EDIT: But please see the next message for an even better test save game). After loading that and keeping it running for for 20 minutes, I have been attacked by a total of 1 bitter(So no waves at ...

Ok, let me try again with a new game using the following setup Minimum starting area. Maximum bitter bases. Anything else on default. So the worst most aggresive startup. I observe the following oddities 1: I have not researched any weapons or towers. I defend myself successfully only with a gun. Th...

To get this back on track: Nothing reported here is suggesting a bug but just incorrect assumptions on what should be happening. Unless someone can provide a save-file with: version .14 no mods enemy bases constantly consuming pollution no attacks at all from anywhere for 15 minutes. there is no ne...

Also: I know this sounds insane, but is it possible that the issue is caused by the difficulty I played the campain on? When I first got Factorio I played the campaign on easy, and finished as far as the "Build the track to the iron base" level, and then I started the "Build a rocket&...

In case it helps: I have created a new game, with a 20MV steam power, close to 4 biter bases. But it still don't look like it has any effect. There are only small biters(No spitters), and none of the 4 bases ever sent out runners to start an attack wave despite all the bases absorbing pollution.. An...

One other odd thing is that: The base close to the copper production contains 2 spitter spawners and 2 biter spawners. But the spitter spawners are spawning biters, not spitters.

Well, if there is a bug, then I need to be able to reproduce it, otherwise there's pretty much nothing for me to do. But I'm fairly certain that if you just continue playing and building your factory, the attacks will pick up accordingly. I am pretty sure I found the bug, see the message, just abov...

I think I found the problem, or at least part of the problem. Do we agree that the base should be spawning biters which run away from the base and form a new group, which will then later attack? (Let's call them runners). The base next to the copper don't spawn any runners at all. Which is why it's ...

Is the game supposed to be that random, once the seed is set? If I do nothing which changes the pollution the timing/amount of biters attacking should not change for the same loaded game, should it? Also: You both loaded the game, and got attacked by many biters. That newer happens to me. (I have ne...

But it was less then 10 bugs. And as far as I Could see, none of them came from the base close to the copper mine. Also: Let me tell you about the first game I played. All default settings: I managed to build a base big enough, to research the default rocket tech. (Newer build it, but still). Total ...

No, then there REALLY is a bug. Because that newer happens for me. I have just run the map for something like 30 minutes. And killed less then 10 bugs in TOTAL. And that is the initial wave from new bases getting hit by polution for the first time. The base close to the copper newer sends 10 biters ...

I just loaded the attached game, and let it run for 25 minutes using the standard version 0.14 from Steam. There is a copper production, which is feed from a chest with coal. Close to this there is a biter base. This biter base send exactly 1 biter towards my base. And the biter base to the north di...
