To be honest, what I read does not correspond to any type of resistance.
Minor resistance: 35 --> 65%
Major resistance: 80 --> 92%
Extreme resistance: 99,99%
unknown damage type (for example K2 "radiation", bob-warfare "plasma"): 0 --> 70%
Usually, faction has only one Major/extreme resistance or immunity + resistance to unknown damage types.
One faction, the "Juggernauts", has extreme resistance to fire and phys. damage. They need to be killed with a laser or damage with a type of mods.
Their development turned out to be a forced measure, because otherwise a mix of flamethrowers and three rows of ammo-turrets destroyed any combination of enemies
Also, now I am watching the stream of "K2+SE+rampant fixed"+some utility mods, where the player perfectly beats ~85-90% evolution at the pre-cosmic stage
Perhaps you can give a concrete example?
