I'm trying to create a custom building that will only use a predetermined set of recipes. What I'm trying to make is an Alien Hatchery that can craft Aliens. Input will be something like Alien Atrifacts and somethign else, and the output should be one of the Alien recipies available. So how do I ass...

I have a building in my mod, that I feel is very OP. I was thinking that I could make it that, once placed, it could not be moved. If you did move it, it would be destroyed. I was able to do this by changing the "minable" line minable = {hardness = 0.2, mining_time = 0.5, result = "Al...

YuokiTani, this is looking great!! I actually like the industrial look, since it's a human made object, trying to emulate the natural spawner. The only thing I could mention would be that the hatching alien look a little more like the game's biters, but besides that it looks perfect! I'm tied down w...

Now all we need is a weather mod to add rain that refills the lakes. It looks like it has a maximum range it will draw from, similar to how Red Power's drain + pump worked in Minecraft (which is probably the only sane way to do it, really). Have you thought about an option for sufficiently large bo...

For you information: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=14761 A game bug was exposed by this mod, fixed for next release. Thanks for letting me know billw. Love it when I can break the game!! I actually just noticed it myself, but had no time to investigate. Only happens at ...

Hey, I am curious. With Natural Evolution, do biters/spitters build big groups and automatically attack even with no pollution on them? If I am polluting not at all, they still go and attack in big waves? That's what it seems like when I read the long description. I've been playing with it forever,...

You should be safe to remove.

Version 3.1.0 is up. With the update to Factorio 0.12.3 the Alien Control Station now seems stable. So as of Version 3.1.0 it's back in. I've done about 40 min testing and it all seems stable. I'm leaving the previous version up, just in case anyone has problems that I've not found. Let me know if i...

So this mod adds better spawning mechanism to RSO mod too? Am i understanding this right? Does it override RSO enemies too? No. It manages the expansion after the initial game spawning. (Or RSO's if you're using that) It might be something I look at later, but I feel that you have a lot of control ...

Updated to Version 3.0.13. Small update. I doubled the power usage of the Terraforming Station. Was a little OP. Now you will create more pollution to power it, unless you use clean power like solar. I've also done a little more tinkering with the Alien attack waves - "Swarm" P.S. Once Fac...

Thanks Posila!
Appreciate you guys being on top of these bug and getting fixes out so fast!

The crash seems different, since the "Force" error only append to me when I tried to load a game, but it might happen when it was trying to remove a force from a unit and hence the crash. I'm not sure if it is or not, so I created both posts. It does seem to be similar to an error I got in...

Thanks Posila!!

Yep, no need to create a patch. This is not a released mod.
(But will be after 12.3 )

Thanks again!

Hi, I'm looking for an Alien Hatchery. It's going to be for a man crafted Alien Spawner, for my Natural Evolution Mod. One will load it with alien artifacts and it will craft alien or 'Hatch' them. Possibly have a boiling water input. I think that I'd like to have one fluid input and be a combinatio...

I'm getting the below crash: http://i60.tinypic.com/29az9jd.png Got it during the game and when I was trying to load the latest save. Only playing with a few MODS. I was trying to convert Alien Control Station Mod from 11.22 to V12 and think that that might have caused the problem. I've posted the S...

I got a “Deserialisation” error. http://i59.tinypic.com/35kqzx4.png I was using the following MODS: DyTech, Bob’s Enemies, Natural Evolution and Alien Control Station. The game was running fine, but when I tried to load, I got the error and could not load that save anymore. I was doing some testing ...

I found this mod to be both difficult and easy. It's difficult at first till you get terraforming stations. You need to basically race to get some adv circuits or things might get.. harsh. After you get the stations - build 2 (or better 4) and you are set. Add energy efficient base to that and you ...

I've added a small update that should affect how the enemies "Swarm" when attacking you.
The radius of how far away enemies come to join an attack slowly increases as the evolution factor goes up.

(cut) Bug Fix. Fixed a bug with the Terraforming Station. If removed or destroyed it did not get deducted from your total stations. Will it somehow count how many you have now actually or it's permanently broken in the save? It will know how many you have, but if any were removed/destroyed, the cou...

Updated to V 3.0.11. If you're using DyTech War, my Mod will mostly default to the difficulty settings used there for both the Spawner Nests and Evolution Factors. (Time, Pollution and killing nests) If you're not using DyTech War, below are the Evolution settings now: -- TIME: Only 75% of vanilla. ...
