Re: [MOD 0.16.x] Natural Evolution - All things Alien!
After playing a while more and paying closer attention to the groups on the map, I can confirm that there is expansion taking place (Although it appears more like one new group every hour almost, instead of every 10 mins as I had it set...), but only worms appear, no spawners.
Now I'm just not sure whether to report the bug here or to Rampant or something else...

hi, i was looking at the starting page of this thread, but some images stopped working.
if you get a chance to change your 1st post, maybe changing postimage.org into .cc will fix the images as they seem to have changed servers.

Strange spam spawn of lvl 6 speedy biters : https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 393E8CBD1/
It's right in the middle of this screenshot, so quite far from anything : https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... F0404CAD8/
They're all moving, trying to get oversees : https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 67D463C10/
I believe it's why I get a lot of lag, and a very long time on each save. Going to wipe them all to see if it helps on lag. Making a save of the game if needed.
Edit : I killed all of them, I'm back to 60 FPS

I had the same problem, a lot of lag, fps went down to 29, I removed natural evolution enemies, fps returned to 60

Well, the mod does add a lot more enemies.
Try using "Thumpers" From NE Buildings, to call them to you, this should prevent them from forming huge groups that just sit there.

Re: [MOD 0.16.x] Natural Evolution - All things Alien!
What kind of settings do I have to use for aggressive expansion? Nearly every new run I've done with Bobs, RSO, Rampant, FARL, Robot Army and expansion is simply too low. I've played between 3-10 hours several runs, and I've double-checked that expansion is enabled every time (biters do expand sometimes). At most I've gotten to 30% evolution, give or take.
Min cooldown: 4min & max cooldown: 20min. There are a lot of large biter bases on each map. There are plenty of green expansion-candidate-chunks around (haven't seen one blinking in a long time though, if that's still a thing?) Difficulty setting: 2 & "Can NE expansion turn on Enemy Expansion: yes".
Evolution state is almost always on peaceful, sometimes it's awakening. I'm sorry I already asked this question itt before and I looked at your RSO test posts, but I'm not sure where it's going wrong in my Factorio. Any settings I have to tweak, enable/disable?

It might be a known effect of RSO - making bases more rare will cause expansion to go all around the place so they expand less in your base direction. It can help setting base chance in RSO settings to 1 to make more of them.donkeystealing wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 5:45 pmWhat kind of settings do I have to use for aggressive expansion?

You are conditionally requiring files based on mod settings.


This changes the CRC which breaks multiplayer:

Hello do you have any idea why biters are 'turned off'? I started playing with NE and Rampant AI and now turned off Rampant and used a command to kill all biters but they just spawn and they are not doing anything. There were a few attacks before but at some point they stopped moving and I started investigating.

That looks like there is no pollution by that nest. I know Rampant does a lot to biters and not sure how removing it mid game could affect stuff.
I'm pretty sure NE does nothing to "turn off" biters

Maybe they will start up once you get near or something.
