✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Configurable evolution means you can fine-tune the difficulty to your exact liking.
- Retroactive changes let you tweak settings mid-game without restarting.
- Killing units reduces evolution, rewarding aggressive nest clearing with a tangible benefit.
⚠️ Cons
- Mod is from 2023 and may not be updated for the latest Factorio version, risking compatibility issues.
- Balancing evolution with pollution-covered nests could make early game unexpectedly tough if you expand too fast.
- Zeroing vanilla evolution factors might make the game too easy for players who prefer the default challenge.
This is for Factorio players who want to play a more environmentally conscious game, focusing on pollution management rather than pure expansion. It also suits veterans looking for a customizable difficulty curve that rewards proactive nest clearing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since killing units reduces evolution, prioritize clearing nests near your pollution cloud to keep evolution in check.
- Experiment with the configurable parameters in a test world to find a balance that suits your playstyle before committing to a long save.
- Remember that the mod sets vanilla evolution factors to 0 in new games, so you'll rely entirely on the mod's mechanics for evolution.
