Hello thank you! Unfortunately that would be harder for me to make because im not a programmer you see. But when i will look into the mod compatibility fix and i get some help from real coder i might consider adding the option if its not too hard to implement and keep updated ; )
To add to this- I'd love to see them as their own race in order to use enemy manager \ space exploration...and encounter them on a planet of their own :)
Integration to SE mod may be one of the madness idea but as it is hard job and scripting expert would required. I hope in the future, when other biters and player skins would be replaced, request post on forum may help to find candidate for that part. As an idea it can be totally insane if units from these mod would be reskinned to starship troops https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Kombat_Drones
To make the splatter work you need to replicate the existing splaters code and tweak it. But im not a coder, just a code learner. And it was a while ago that i had my hands on the code.
