🌌 Stellar Horizons – Hard

Part of the Stellar Horizons modpack, this edition brings an extra layer of challenge for players who want a harsher survival experience.
It integrates Rampant Fixed with custom settings and features designed to make enemies evolve, adapt, and strike in unpredictable ways — without breaking core Factorio mechanics or other mods in the pack.

⚠️ You will need to reset evolution/biters after arriving on nauvis, the mod is in optional here so you can remove it after

🔥 Features

• Compatible with vanilla & other mods – does not replace base mechanics, instead works alongside them.
• Smarter enemies – assess defenses, look for weak spots, and even bypass strongholds.
• Long-range attacks – biters can strike from afar, requiring more diverse defenses.
• Underground assaults – enemies can tunnel under small water barriers.
• Dynamic evolution – nests mutate, and as evolution increases, more dangerous types emerge.
• Gradual difficulty curve – early-game biters are weaker than standard ones, but the challenge escalates fast.
• More thoughtful defense required – static walls are not enough; you’ll need adaptive strategies.
• Multiple enemy layouts – Rampant enemies and other hostile forces can appear in varied distributions.
• Harder than standard Rampant – not recommended for first-time Rampant players.

👉 This modpack edition is for players who want the true hard mode of Stellar Horizons.
