About Adorable Enemies (Space Age)

From Factorio Mod Portal

Reskins enemies into adorable creatures (cosmetic only, no gameplay changes). Nauvis: biters and spitters become cute slimes and their nests become bushes; worms become slimes too. Gleba: pentapods become glowing critters and egg rafts become glowing green orbs. Vulcanus: demolishers get a dragon head with a stone-bead body.

Adorable Enemies (Space Age)

Tired of being chased by scary bugs? This mod gives every enemy a cute makeover. Appearance only — no gameplay changes. Same health, same damage, same difficulty, just adorable. Safe to add to or remove from an existing save at any time.

What it changes

Nauvis

  • Biters and spitters become cute slimes (spitters have little tentacles so you can tell them apart from biters).
  • Worms become slimes too.
  • Biter and spitter nests become bushes (spitter nests have a purple tint).

Gleba

  • Pentapods (wriggler, strafer, stomper) become glowing critters; their legs are hidden for a clean look.
  • Egg rafts become glowing green orbs.

Vulcanus

  • Demolishers get a dragon head with a stone-bead body.

Everywhere

  • Defeated enemies leave a faint grey "x_x" corpse that fades after a few seconds.
  • The Factoriopedia "Enemies" group icon becomes a slime.

Optional extras (enabled by default)

All can be turned off individually in Settings → Mod settings → Startup:

  • Adorable egg icons — the biter egg becomes a speckled yellow egg, and the pentapod

egg becomes a glowing green orb matching the egg rafts.

  • Mild defeat screen — the game over picture is replaced with a starry night scene

of sleepy slimes napping on your factory. No hard feelings.

  • Legless spidertron icons — the spidertron item icon and research picture show just

the torso. Factorio's built-in arachnophobia mode only hides the legs in the world; this makes the menus match.

Compatibility

  • Works with or without the Space Age expansion (Space Age content is reskinned only when it is installed).
  • Visual only, so it should be compatible with most mods. Other mods that replace the

same sprites may take priority.


This is a cosmetic mod — it does not change balance, stats, or behaviour in any way.
