At night, bugs can hatch out of any natural surface. Defend against attacks from all sides, and even inside if you're not careful. Highly configurable. Inspired by BREAM, by StephenB.
Tweaks

Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
I'm interested to see what settings people come up with to get their preferred difficulty curves. If you find a combination of settings that you like, please post them here as an example for others. Or, if you enjoyed the experience with purely default settings, you could post that too, so I know they don't necessarily need to be tweaked.
I used this mod on a near endgame save to see what its like and man. It spawned SO MANY BITERS. Game started lagging pretty bad. I love the swarms and feel this is how the game SHOULD be but my CPU taking a hit. Not sure what settings to change to lower the amount of bugs per spawn OR lessen the number of spawns? Seems pretty legit so far!
Oh shoot do I have to tweak setting before I made the game or can you adjust them after? I want to add demolishers too. Kinda lame they don't come back. I killed only 2 small ones and that was enough to get me to end game easily. I also think the base game needs to adjust their health. Should be higher base health and much lower regen and possibly a flat damage decrease like asteroids so you cant just turret spam. NO idea how to do any of that though....
You can change most settings on a game in progress, and they'll update in real-time. If you want to change the safe tiles you need to restart your client, but anything else you can change on the fly.
I haven't tested on endgame bases yet, so try out changing some stuff and tell us what works!
If you want less but stronger units, try increasing the "Evolution weight for unit selection" setting.
Messing around now. I figured out how to change the parameters in a "new game" then mod settings? Seems like a weird way but only way i've found. Also I broke the mod if I change the Demolisher settings. I tried pasting exactly what you have and also modifying it with "," after Gleba and a 3rd } to cap it off at the end. Not sure what i'm doing wrong. But I guess I can figure it out later. I'll keep messing with the biter settings and let you know. I also don't have the best CPU in the world. Its a Ryzen 7 1700X if thats at all helpful for a benchmark.
You don't need to do a new game... mod settings are in the regular pause menu. Then in the mod settings menu there are 3 tabs; you want the map settings tab.
