Storms, instability and the shield on Nexus: Nexus-Threat by Karu_Kiruna, updated for Factorio 2.1 until the original has a 2.1 release.
Mods introducing new content into the game.
Version: 1.1.0
Date: 2026-10-09
Info:
- Published as Nexus-Threat-Updated, a fork of Nexus-Threat 1.0.6 by Karu_Kiruna
Features:
- Map settings for the storms: instability half-life, lightning chance per instability, lightning attempts per tick
- Remote interface nexus-threat: other mods can scale the lightning chances and read the threat state
- Support Factorio 2.1
Optimizations:
- The shield is computed every 10 ticks over the stabilizers only, instead of every tick over every machine on Nexus
Bugfixes:
- A save that switches from Nexus-Threat keeps the tier of its shield stabilizers
- Debug commands (reset_nexus, sturm_start, sturm_start_timer, sturm_stop, set_nexus, check_storage, nexus-refresh) are for admins only
- The shield regeneration setting had no effect; the shield now regenerates outside storms

Version: 1.0.4

Changes:
- Modifies the function of the “Shield Stabilizer” module from “Nexus-Threat” so that it can now be toggled in stages
