Hostile Takeover - Challenge map

[darkflashz]

Hello there Factorio players
I'm new here but playing factorio for a few good days and I fell in love with it.. mostly with its Map making tool. feels so good and like Homm3's map tool (heroes of might and magic)

So i made a challenging map for you to play, resources are extremely limited (but still have a good amount - most are guarded by biters) and are around the place with a good few spawners and worms, Limited map so you have little space for your factory,
And a great starting place (with enemys there, so watch out)

Here is a overview of the map

I'd love to try this out, but I am still on version 0.10.3 as some of the versions since have had nasty bugs in them. I just went to look at what bugs are in 0.10.6 - just to see if .6 is alright for me - but there are so many posts that I have to pick through in so many sub-forums, just to find "Bugs reported in 0.10.6 that are unverified, verified, fixed, pending or unfixed" that it's just too much hassle.

There was a big bug in 10.4, but it was fixed in days, and 10.6 has been out for a week and not caused me any problems.
You could always download a separate copy of Factorio in the latest version.

Yep I saw the devs were quick to fix the problems post-0.10.3 but I wanted to see what the score was with the current experimental, and don't have time to wade around knee-deep in forum pages. Well, I do, but I don't like anyone to know I have that sort of spare time :-P
