Robot Probe Enemies

A Factorio mod that adds flying robot probe enemies in three sizes.

Features

• Three Enemy Sizes:
• Small Robot Probe: Fast, fragile scouts (50 HP, high speed)
• Robot Probe: Standard combat units (150 HP, balanced stats)

• Large Robot Probe: Heavy assault units (500 HP, high damage, slow)

• Flying Enemies: Probes hover above the ground and can fly over obstacles

• Laser Weapons: All probes attack with laser projectiles

• Robot Probe Hive: Spawner building that produces robot probes based on evolution factor

Requirements

• Factorio 2.0+
• Space Age DLC

Installation

1. Place the robot-enemies folder in your Factorio mods directory
2. Enable the mod in-game

Spawning Enemies

The probes spawn from Robot Probe Hives. To test, use console commands:

/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="robot-probe-spawner", position={x=10, y=10}, force="enemy"}

Or spawn individual probes:

/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="robot-probe-small", position={x=5, y=5}, force="enemy"}
/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="robot-probe-medium", position={x=10, y=5}, force="enemy"}
/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="robot-probe-large", position={x=15, y=5}, force="enemy"}

Stats

Evolution Factor

The spawner produces different ratios based on evolution:
- Low evolution (0-35%): Mostly small probes
- Mid evolution (35-60%): Mix with more medium probes
- High evolution (60-100%): Mostly large probes

Placeholder Graphics

Currently uses base game graphics as placeholders:
- Probes: Constant combinator sprite
- Spawner: Biter spawner graphics
