Idea: Biters attracted to light

Post by golfmiketango »

Subject says it all. In RL one of the few downsides to illuminating the crap out of everything is that it tends to attract bugs -- why not give factorio players the same problem?

For the record I'm not the first to suggest this but the last time it came up was 2016 (AFAICT in a quick search).

As if players didn't already disregard iluminating their bases.
A lot of people just running around they base wearing night vision like some kind of afraid of light techno-vampires.

I am a translator. And what did you do for Factorio?
Check out my mod "Realistic Ores" and my other mods!

If anything I'd turn it around. Make biters more nocturnal and aggressive at night, but maybe slow them down a bit with artificial light
