Alien revenge
Idea behind alien revenge for butchering their kind is to increase alien attacks by massively increasing pollution clouds.
- Add alien smelters/assemblers/chem plants with higher pollution than vanilla. Pollution factor x 2 - 5?
- Change alien smelters/assemblers/chem plants smoke color to pink
This will be a separate mod as it will overhaul some mechanics. More to come!
Compatibility with other mods
Corpse drop logic
The plan is to make the body drop logic more scalable for other mods using pattern matching. This logic will align with Schallfalke's approach in Alien Loot: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SchallAlienLoot
- Enemy names that contain vanilla references 'small', 'medium', 'big' and 'behemoth' will result in respective corpse drops.
- WIP: Based on other mods, 'Leviathian', 'mother', 'huge', will be mapped to either big or behemoth corpse.
- WIP: Based on level indicators, 'big' or 'behemoth' corpses will drop.
- WIP: If there is no match, 'small' corpse will drop.
Specific mod support
This mod assumes that enemies are following the vanilla naming convention. There is additional support for the following mods:
- 5Dim - however this mod has not been updated to 0.18 so unable to test with the 0.18.x versions
- Bob's enemies - tested with 0.18.6
- Natural Enemies Evolved (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Natural_Evolution_Enemies) - tested with 0.18.6
