I've installed this mod for our multiplayer session which uses Factorio's default multiplayer option. The problem we have with this is we're so far from the 0, 0 coordinate that it's either always Zerg or Protoss. We're at roughly -10,000 on the X axis, with several thousand positive on the Y. I have no idea why the game does that, but it's what we ended up with.

Any chance we could modify the variable for the X/Y so we can center the coordinate for our situation? We'd like to have both races separately attacking us without mixing them together, making for a more diverse attack and defensive strategy based on our outpost locations.

Thanks.

I'll take a look for the next update. I think it's doable.

Hi

1.3.0 allows you to do that by setting a number in the "[2 races split] Center point for split" setting. But it will only affect new chunks or new map.

It's greatly appreciated. The split works perfectly and we've centered it for our needs. Thank you very much.

The only bug we've encountered is an expansion/formation error, which we saw in previous versions as well.

No mods affecting behavior besides this one, as we removed Rampant in favor of Zerg/Protoss only.

Np. I just pushed a fix for that crash.

btw. is your server public?

It's not public. Just a little family map where we fool about in PvP while building a functional factory.

As the veteran player, I'm responsible for mods that balance gameplay between our skills, and so I'm hoping this mod with its longer evolution scale and varied enemies provides more of an interest than the same old biters that cliff in difficulty so rapidly.

Plus I'm the millennial that grew up on Starcraft. The novelty of building a 'Terran Industrial Base' as it were, to fight back against the Zerg/Protoss invasion brings back those childhood campaign memories.

Haha ya. "building a 'Terran Industrial Base'" is the reason I let Terran units to be player assets.

Enjoy and let me know when you encounter any problem since multiplayer aspect on this mod have not been properly tested. :)

The only element missing is a Command Center to automatically deploy the units in scout mode.

I could transport the troops via trains to command center outposts. They deploy, fight, and die for the empire; while I supply them with endless fresh troops from assembly lines back at base.

Then we can be an armchair emperor like Mengsk. Building the empire while the minions do all the fighting.
