Robot Probe Enemies

Robot Probe Enemies

A Factorio mod that adds flying robot probe enemies in three sizes.

Features

• Three Enemy Sizes:
• Small Robot Probe: Fast, fragile scouts (50 HP, high speed)
• Robot Probe: Standard combat units (150 HP, balanced stats)
• Large Robot Probe: Heavy assault units (500 HP, high damage, slow)

• Flying Enemies: Probes hover above the ground and can fly over obstacles

• Laser Weapons: All probes attack with laser projectiles

• Robot Probe Hive: Spawner building that produces robot probes based on evolution factor

Requirements

• Factorio 2.0+
• Space Age DLC

Installation

1. Place the robot-enemies folder in your Factorio mods directory
2. Enable the mod in-game

Spawning Enemies

The probes spawn from Robot Probe Hives. To test, use console commands:

/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="robot-probe-spawner", position={x=10, y=10}, force="enemy"}

Or spawn individual probes:

/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="robot-probe-small", position={x=5, y=5}, force="enemy"}
/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="robot-probe-medium", position={x=10, y=5}, force="enemy"}
/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="robot-probe-large", position={x=15, y=5}, force="enemy"}

Stats

| Unit | Health | Damage | Speed | Range | |------|--------|--------|-------|-------| | Small | 50 | 3 | 0.25 | 12 | | Medium | 150 | 8 | 0.18 | 15 | | Large | 500 | 20 | 0.12 | 20 |

Evolution Factor

The spawner produces different ratios based on evolution:

• Low evolution (0-35%): Mostly small probes
• Mid evolution (35-60%): Mix with more medium probes
• High evolution (60-100%): Mostly large probes

Placeholder Graphics

Currently uses base game graphics as placeholders:

• Probes: Constant combinator sprite
• Spawner: Biter spawner graphics
