Enemy horde?

[DusK]

Whether in a game against hordes of enemies?
It's fun in Factoria. But here it's looking like u don't planing add enemy hordes and turrets.
Right now battle is casual and borring. Enemy is weak and rare :(

It's a more casual experience. I imagine many players would be frustrated if enemy hordes constantly killed them or destroyed their structures.

In Factorio I found it hit or miss. The idea of defending with turrets was neat, but it usually lopsided one way or another. Either your turrets easily decimate the enemies, or they slowly overwhelm you due to pollution and you'll find yourself nearly helpless.

And without mods, you'll eventually run into large spitters that can completely outrange any of your turrets, which is extremely frustrating to deal with. It had me seeking a mod that disabled spitters and kept only biters.

Enemy’s don’t attack your structures either

Maybe we played in the different versions.Artillery coped well with the enemy.

In any case, the game looks hopeless if it is only about the construction of the plant :(
In this case I hope someone adds this feature to the mods.

they've implicitly stated that this will never have a system where monsters attack your base(s)

If you require base defense in a game about factory-building, satisfactory may not be the game for you.
I've played around 700h and never felt the lack of base defense was a bad thing. exploration is very enjoyable as an additional thing to do in the game, the map is great and the factory-building aspect is well done.

If you're looking for a game with base defense, I recommend simply sticking to factorio.

i'm sure someone will make a mod with these kind of mechanics

Yeap. Sometimes i want someting new. Also, 3D factorio better than 2D. Sadly, no all aspects better for me >_>

I know they said there won't be enemies added but man they really should add a game mode with enemies, I wanna make emphasis on the word MODE because there always someone who doesn't know how to read and starts whining "nO I dOnT LiKe eNeMiEs", if you don't like enemies thats perfectly fine but don't ruin it for people who do, just stay out of it.
Tired of these kind of ppl on multiple games.

The devs would have to dedicate significant time and effort to completely reworking the enemy AI and balance of the game for that mode to work at all. They would also need to create a damage system for structures. None of this is easy or quick to do. Adding a mode like that would slow down the game's development significantly. Due to these reasons and the devs stating multiple times that they don't want to have it in their game, I doubt it will come. They have even said that they originally had a crude attack system in the game in their internal pre-alpha but it wasn't feasible in 3D so they removed it. Just think of some enemies getting stuck somewhere under or in your factory damaging your production lines/foundations, and you have no idea where, or are not even aware of there being anything wrong. It would be incredibly annoying to find them. You could also completely get around enemy attacks by building a floating factory in the sky, or off the side of the map.

Personally I wouldn't mind them adding a mode like this, but because of the heavy cost associated with it, I am absolutely fine without it. Maybe they'll change their mind post 1.0 (but it would require a TON of changes to the way the game works) or some crazy modders will add it. We'll have to wait and see what the future holds, but my guess would be that its not happening.

Not every game has to have horde's my dude. Why be another cookie cutter game?
