What does Bobs enemies do?

[Meat Man (Alfons)]

Hello everyone, Factorio modding newbie

One of the most popular mods seem to be Bobs mods, but I am having difficulties finding any information about them, the images are all blank and I can't find any info about them on the Modpages. All I know about Bobs mods is that they make the game much more spaghetti, which is the spirit of Factorio

But plain and simple, what does Bobs Enemies do? Do they add more enemy types or do they just add bigger and stronger enemies?

Looking at this file: %APPDATA%/Factorio/mods/bobenemies_0.16.0.zip/bobenemies_0.16.0/locale/en/bobenemies.cfg

... I got the list of all the newly added stuff in the mod. Here it is, after cutting out irrelevant stuff:

Red alien artifact
Orange alien artifact
Yellow alien artifact
Green alien artifact
Blue alien artifact
Purple alien artifact
Small alien artifact
Small red alien artifact
Small orange alien artifact

(Artifacts can be enabled/disabled in settings.)

I think it modifies some enemy-related stuff as well, but I'd have to dig through the files in bobenemies_0.16.0.zip/bobenemies_0.16.0/prototypes/ directory to find out for sure. Maybe some other time :)

"just" more enemies. but they have different ressistances and some additional features like spitters with aoe attack and explosive bitters.

I think that sounds good, the resistances for armor is a little lopsided, does Explosive damage ever happen in vanilla singleplayer anyways?

Bobs warfare adds extra ammo for different types too, and lots different rockets etc, so varying ammo gets countered by varying types of enemies. Oh and the leviathans have like 90% resistance to almost everything iirc.
