is there a tower defense mod?

[Wild Card (와일카드)]

I'd like to build the wall around the base (or trenches) to defend my settlement and stop horde of bugs coming in with mounted weapons any mod that supports my desire? lol thanks in advance

There's a Wave Defense scenario built into the game.

Have you tried Mindustry?
It is more basic than factorio on the factory building side but it focuses a lot more on defending against enemies so it light be sommething you would enjoy.

There have been a few mods and scenarios over the years that tried to go for the tower defense style but as far as I know there isn't any that did it particularly well and they were abandonned.


In the recent versions there is this one (I have not tried it so I can't tell you if it's any good):
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/m-towerdefense

There is a wave defense version that is "infinite" (never tried either):
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Wave_Defense_Unlimited

Not quite tower defense but still with a somewhat similar concept is warptorio 2 that forces you to "escape" together with a very small area of your base, abandonning everything else behind, bitters evolve significantly faster and pollution spreads a lot more so you are forced to start defending very early on.
Unlike a death world you can't typically turtle and out-tech enemies and the small area that you keep with you becomes a very important part of your design since you want to abandon as little as possible even if you have to escape without having the time to go collect everything.

No. You need to completely remove the AI to get your desired pathfinder (bots dumbly following the mile long path when a shortcut exists), you need to replace all enemies with tougher bosses (no currently existing enemy survives sustained fire for several minutes the way you would in a tower defence game), and probably replace the rest of the game too.

Go buy a Tower Defence Game if you want to play Tower Defence.

No, I mean if you go to the main menu then press New Game then Scenario then Wave Defense.

i've already got some tower defense games but i thought it'd be really fun to try tower defense mode in this game

Ah that... yeah no idea how to play it.. in fact maybe i should play co-op with somebody to learn how to build my defenses before the first wave.. any ideas?

You could try asking in the "Multiplayer & Co-op" subforum. Maybe someone's interested.

That actually sounds really interesting and kind of like Eggoria a nice basebuilding game where you need to pack up what you can and move your base periodically and I really liked how it made me focus on figuring out what I want to do with each camp I set up.

The difference would be that eggoria has received no official news or update since the 29th of jully (which is barely 3 months after it was announced) so it sounds like another of those nice ideas that get abandonned in early access with no sign of life from the developer.

Basically the game is finished and the early access was just to add more ending options but other than that yeah the devs seem to be a Chinese couple so who knows what they're up to or why they haven't said anything since september.
