More aggressive and advanced biter expansion

[Sting_Auer]

I would like to see biters be more aggressive and proactive with their expansion, both in building new nests and improving existing ones. Giving either biters or spitters the ability to construct living walls and grow more worms would make it more difficult to attack the larger, more entrenched biter bases, and enhanced biter growth and expansion would make them more of a threat to your well-being.

I think everyone agrees that combat in its current state is not that interesting. However, any change that makes the biters better at attacking should be done carefully. I think we need the ability to set up an outpost and be confident that it can defend itself, at least for X amount of time. Remember that most combat happens away from the player, and if automated defenses are no longer adequate, eventually I'll be doing nothing but running around rebuilding things.

Take a look at Natural Evolution mod.
It plays around with some biter settings and also changes them during the game - it will give different experience then vanilla biters for sure.
