I just added this mod, and im absolute amazed by it. Factorio is "all" about ravaging the eco-system of the planet you crash-landed on, stripping every ressource from it you can find. And beside from no longer existing ore fields and some squashed bugs, there is little sign from your actions. -well, beside the huge factories you build. :P

But this just adds flavor to the whole theme, that was, in my eyes, desperatly needed. Kudos to you!
I just startet a new map and can't wait to see the destruction that biter attacks will cause at my borders.

Really, really awesome! Be patient until the word get arround, this is a really damn fine mod!

Thanks for your words, OldFritz. These words bring the uncontrollable desire to continue working on the mod. Any suggestions are welcome!

Well, actually i might have one. But it is not meant to be picky, it was just a notice; i use "alien biomes", again to add some much needed flavor.
Since the new added landmass there is not the vanilla one, there is no shattered/scorched land after a deconstruct.

I can barely grasp who much work in coding it was to get this effect done on the main groundtexture, but i guess it was a lot.

Personally i think improvements on "aesthetics" like your's are just as wonderful as the buildingmods.
As addicting the overall gameplay of Factorio is, some visual updates just refine it all the more.

Please check the 14.22.4 release. At first glance, everything works:)

Wow, awesome! I can't believe you just updated it that quick! Thank you.

Love the idea, anything that makes the "footprint" on the martian planet feel more real/more permanent.
Trying out Alien Biomes, Dirt Path mods as companions to this.
