I fell myself invincible on my late bob+angel save So i'm just wondering if we can add one option in bob's enemy that allows biters grow ultimately powerful, like raising HP, attack & defense through time, or get random update/bonus after X biters are killed.

There's a mod Enhanced_Biters https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Enhanced_Biters that tries to infinitely enhance biter powers like this:

game.forces.enemy.set_ammo_damage_modifier("melee", 0.5 + (2 * scale + game.tick) / (2 * scale) )

I've searched around Factorio API but seems like there's no way to modify the attribute of entity in game. A trival solution might be... generate as much tier of bugs as user want through config?

there's nothing in the base game to support it, I've heard of people trying to come up with ways to go it before, but it turns into a spaghetti nightmare.

Ohhh, that's really a bad news

I suppose you might be able to give them upgrade effects similar to Gun damage upgrade, or laser turret damage/attack speed upgrades.
I don't know of any way to give them more health/resistance however.

Maybe apply a global damage dealt reduction to players? Wouldn't effect collision damage, but aside from that, maybe. So when enemies get stronger, your weapons do slightly less damage. -10% damage dealt is similar, but not the same as 10% more enemy health.

You just have to be clever :p

Still, no direct method that I know of yet.

Maybe its possible to gate some technologies with debuff techs for weapon damage.
This would make biters stronger at specific times.
