Hey I think this is a bug. The original factory I have keeps getting destroyed from the outside. I get an alert for damage. I see health going down and then the inputs stop and the combinator goes to being a normal combinator.
Are biters eating the base on the outside because of pollution?
Yeah this is caused by the biters attacking the building. The factorissimo playthrough preset removes biters and pollution. I'll see if i can make it never spawn biters.
