About Biter Pets

From Factorio Mod Portal

This mod allows you to tame small biters using bait made from cooked fish.

In this mod, you can use fish in furnaces to cook it. Cooked fish can be used to make bait, which converts enemy small biters to your side. This is my first mod, so any feedback would be appreciated!
