More Enemies


Simple idea of just having more enemies, and larger enemy attack groups. Comes with five preset difficulties: Easy(0.1), Vanilla(1), Vanilla+(1.75), Hard(4), and Insanity(11). Each added setting can be configured independently of the selected difficulty to personal taste. Engineer beware - they come for you.

Hello! By chance, which version are you using? As well, if you don't mind, how are your settings configured for more-enemies?

If I am understanding your request correctly (please correct me if I am mistaken), in the current version of 0.5.2, there should be options for these settings already.

That is, under Settings -> Mod settings -> Map -> More Enemies, there should be settings to control the cloning of units and unit groups (as well as other controls). The cloning can be increased by setting the value higher than 1; or reduced by setting the value lower than 1; setting it to 0 should effectively disable it.

Version: 0.5.2 for factorio 2.0. all units to 1, attack group 200. Btw, in factorio 1.0 we had a mod that could control the total number of attack and expansion groups, with a huge impact in ups, my run got to 500ms avg commander, with it i droped to like 0.02. Your mod get very ups intensive in the late game, with a cap to groups it could be far better

Is this what you're referencing by chance?

If so, I'll gladly include it in the next update.

With version 0.5.3 several additional startup settings should be available, namely:

  • Maximum number of gathering unit groups
  • Maximum clients to accept any new request
  • Maximum clients to accept short new request
  • Direct distance to consider short request
  • Short request max steps

Do let me know if there is anything else you feel would be of value to add.

i will test here and will feedback, that looks great
