Rampant Tactics

Factorio Mod - Improves the enemies tactics by using potential fields/pheromones allowing probing of defenses, retreats, reinforcements, counterattacking, rallying death cry, and player hunting

Notes

0.14.14 factorio version fixed save corruption
0.14.10 factorio version fixed more pathing issues
0.14.4 factorio version fixed some issues with unit groups commands

There will be a slight pause the first time this is started up due to indexing all the chunks that have been generated.

MP should be working

Features

  • Frenzy squads - When a unit group gets close to a player or start combat they switch to attacking everything in there path for a set radius or until there is nothing left
  • Rabid squads - Is in a permanent frenzied state as soon as the group is formed
  • Tactical Retreats - these will take place when a unit group is in a chunk that has reached a death threshold
  • Unit Group Merging - if multiple unit groups retreat at the same time there is a chance the groups will merge
  • Unit Group Forming - any chunks with spawners in it that is covered by a pollution or player clouds will form groups based on the evolution factor
  • Probing Behavior Against Defenses - unit groups will attempt to avoid chunks that are soaked in death
  • Player Hunting - unit groups will track the player based on there emitted pheromone cloud
  • Rallying Death Cry - when a unit is killed on a chunk that is past the retreat threshold, the unit will attempt to summon reinforcements to help them
  • Counterattacks - when the player is in combat near nests they will send reinforcements to unit groups
  • Reinforcements - nests will send assistance to nearby nests under attack by the player
  • Pathfinding - unit groups will use potential fields to perform only single step pathfinding allowing for efficient and dynamic pathing

Planned Features

  • Tunneling Biters
  • Fire Biters
  • Suicide Biters
  • infesting Biters
  • adaptive aliens
  • Base Expansion

Version History

0.14.10 -

  • Improvement: Respect for peace mode. To be used with something like the True Peace Mod
  • Fix: Enforce rate limit for retreats

0.14.9 -

0.14.8 -

  • Feature: Rallying death cry, when a native dies on a chunk past the death threshold it will attempt to summon reinforcements from nearby nests
  • Tweak: Increased unit group merge distance from 16 to 28 tiles
  • Tweak: Increased retreat grab radius from 15 tiles to 24 tiles
  • Tweak: Decreased vengeance squad cost from 50 to 45
  • Improvement: On group merge recalculate the kamikaze threshold, so groups that become large have a chance to kamikaze before attacking
  • Improvement: Disallow group merges when units are taking and receiving damage
  • Fix: Corrected unit group frenzy trigger based on engaging a target
  • Optimization: Switched to increment tick counter for processing and logic event
  • Optimization: Rate limited rally cry to 3/0.75 sec
  • Optimization: Rate limited retreat to 8/0.75 sec

0.14.7 -

  • Feature: Counterattack waves trigger when the player is standing in a chunk with the death pheromone past the retreat threshold
  • Feature: Reinforcement waves trigger when the player is standing in a chunk that contains a nest
  • Tweak: Increased max number of unit groups that can be active concurrently from 30 to 40
  • Improvement: Removed restriction on unit group formations around nests

0.14.6 -

  • Major Fix: Corrected retreat logic having inverted comparison introduced in 14.4, so unit groups stopped retreating after lots of death happened in a chunk
  • Major Fix: Corrected pheromone dispersal with negative numbers
  • Fix: Adjusted scoring so unit groups try to avoid nest clusters when retreating (Messes up pathfinding)
  • Fix: When placing a player building ai was given credit as if they destroyed it
  • Tweak: Reduced retreat time length from 4.5 to 3 seconds
  • Tweak: Reduced death pheromone produced on death from 100 to 75
  • Tweak: Increased attack radius of unit groups from 16 to 20 tiles
  • Tweak: Increased attack time length from 2.25 to 3 seconds
  • Tweak: Increased nest pheromone production from 15 to 30
  • Tweak: Increased unit group search radius during formations from 2 chunks to 3 chunks
  • Framework: Decoupled squad status and kamikaze flag
  • Improvement: Biters don't retreat when dying on a chunk with a nest
  • Improvement: Chunks covered by nest pheromone remove death pheromone faster
  • Improvement: Attack wave size varies based on normal distribution that is centered around a scaled evolution factor that is lower than vanilla

0.14.5 -

  • Improvement: Enlarged player processing bubble from 3 to 4 chunks (pheromone radius is still 4 chunks)
  • Fix: Increased player scoring weight, so biter groups correctly hunt once more (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=31445&start=40#p216119)
  • Improvement: Adjusted attack pathing, so groups can move diagonally
  • Fix: Unit group retreating when player occupies same chunk

0.14.4 -

  • Fixed a bug in the processing queue when upgrading mod
  • Greatly decreased Player pheromone radius, now sits at roughly 4 chunks around the player
  • Reworked pheromone pathfinding
  • Removed base and defense attack wave trigger, in favor of using player pheromone and pollution
  • Added periods of time where the enemy is not sending Rampant attack waves
  • Adjusted retreat percentage to suit the reduced attack wave size
  • Improved responsiveness on larger maps
  • Reduced AI max build points
  • Fixed player iteration bug

0.14.3 -

  • Slightly lowered Rampant attack wave frequency
  • Altered attack wave size to ramp up slower
  • Added configuration options for:
    • Attack wave generation area
        • Attack wave threshold
        • Attack wave size
        • Turn off rampant attack waves
