My Dear Sprout MOD

Version: 0.0.1 (Beta) Author: Pixy_Thief Factorio Version: 2.0


This Mod is Beta version. The corpse splits into two. I couldn't fix it with my skills (´×ω×`)

Description

This mod introduces strange young sprouts that spit acid and attack enemies. It's currently in beta and open to feedback and improvements.


Special Notes

Unique Gameplay Mechanic

  • One Sprout Only:

Only one "Strange Sprout" is spawned at the beginning of the game.

  • Replacement Sprout:

If your sprout dies, check the area where it fell for a new sprout item. You can plant this item to grow a new sprout. Pay close attention to your surroundings, as the sprout may be obscured by other objects.


How to Use

  1. Place the mod file in your Factorio mods folder.
  2. Start the game and enable the mod from the mods menu.
  3. Look for the "Strange Rock" near your spawn point to find the initial sprout.
