Adorable Enemies (Space Age)

Tired of being chased by scary bugs? This mod gives every enemy a cute makeover.
Appearance only — no gameplay changes. Same health, same damage, same difficulty,
just adorable. Safe to add to or remove from an existing save at any time.

What it changes

Nauvis

• Biters and spitters become cute slimes (spitters have little tentacles so you can tell them apart from biters).
• Worms become slimes too.
• Biter and spitter nests become bushes (spitter nests have a purple tint).

Gleba

• Pentapods (wriggler, strafer, stomper) become glowing critters; their legs are hidden for a clean look.
• Egg rafts become glowing green orbs.

Vulcanus

• Demolishers get a dragon head with a stone-bead body.

Everywhere

• Defeated enemies leave a faint grey "x_x" corpse that fades after a few seconds.
• The Factoriopedia "Enemies" group icon becomes a slime.

Optional extras (enabled by default)

Both can be turned off individually in Settings → Mod settings → Startup:

• Adorable egg icons — the biter egg becomes a speckled yellow egg matching the
  yellow slime, and the pentapod egg becomes a glowing green orb matching the egg rafts.
• Mild defeat screen — the game over picture is replaced with a starry night scene
  of sleepy slimes napping on your factory. No hard feelings.

Compatibility

• Works with or without the Space Age expansion (Space Age content is reskinned only when it is installed).
• Visual only, so it should be compatible with most mods. Other mods that replace the
  same sprites may take priority.

This is a cosmetic mod — it does not change balance, stats, or behaviour in any way.
