Are there any mods for Factorio that allow organizing units into formations? I'm looking for something that lets me control groups of units in a structured way, such as setting specific shapes, movement patterns, or automated deployment. Ideally, the mod would support things like squad-based control, custom formations, or even AI behavior for coordinated attacks. Are there any mods that offer such features?

Several!

The base game's Spidertron remote allows you to select + move a group of Spidertron (or modded copies), with a movement queue. Spidertron Automation allows you to do exactly what it says - I like it.

Enemy Race Manager is mostly focussed on "The Enemy forces", but it does seem to give a lot more depth than the base game's spawner systems. I have not used it much - does not fit my personal flavor. :-)

AAI Programmable Vehicles is probably the closest to what you are asking for. It allows you to use circuits to move Vehicles (mostly Cars/Tank upgrades) around. Again, not something I have used much but it looks very powerful - I just don't need that sort of thing.

Good luck!
