[Request] Turn Biters Into Zerg

[Syriane]

Hello,

I am quite afraid of insects and have screamed a lot at Factorio, including at night, thus waking up several of my neighbours. I would like to be able to play the game properly without these unfortunate little accidents.

If someone would like to make a mod to change the graphics of all the enemies, I would be thrilled! I need it not to change the gameplay, I guess just replacing the sprite sheets would be fine but I don't know what I'm talking about as I don't understand modding in the slightest. I know there are grey spheres but those don't look cool, and cats, but.... killing cats??? (also that mod doesn't change their bases)

So, all aliens and alien habitats need to be changed. My first idea is into Zerg from Starcraft (somehow zerg don't trigger my trypophobia or entomophobia):
- biters into zerglings (or drones)
- spitters into hydralisks
- worms into nydus
- bases into spawning pools (or hatcheries)

If you guys want to get creative with design here are a couple of other themes I would love to see, but of course I trust you guys to come up with even more fun ideas:
- fairies from Touhou
- murlocs from Warcraft


Thank you!!! <3

I'm not sure Blizzard would be thrilled if their intelectual property was used in another game, even as a mod.
However, you have this mod :

This should do the trick for your neighbours.

Yeah, the first one is the Ball Biters with gray spheres.
But if you try it with Bad Biters then they will be colorful and get resistances according to their color.

Ahh, understood.

Yes, the ball biters, but as they are not very pretty I thought why not share ideas for other graphics in case someone wanted to make a mod.

We need to find something with no copyright problems, then!

How about generic fairies? - zombies? - swordsmen/archers? etc.

Hardcorio appears to hace zerg models. Can probably rip them without too much difficulty.

Ah great! Found them. Guess I'll just replace the sprite sheets by changing the name and see if that works.

Thank you!

A mod that makes natives into people and tanks. And worms become turrets. Spawners become nuclear reactors.
