About The Beast

From Factorio Mod Portal

A biomechanical virus crash lands on your mining outpost. It spreads along your belts until your inserters come alive, pick up your machines and even your trains, and walk off with them.

The Beast

Something has crash landed on your outermost mining outpost.

It's on the belts now.

Your inserters have stopped doing what you told them to.

Watch the trailer


It arrives 20 minutes into a new game, or 20 minutes after you add the mod to a save. If you can't wait, /beast-arrive will bring it to you now.

There's nothing to research and nothing new to build. You have what you have.

Needs only the base game. Space Age works too.
