    By the way, if you're wanting to replicate this, it was done with an older version of Rampant. The newer ones are more forgiving and have the different factions on by default. Just trying to clear things up for the people asking me why their death world rampant runs aren't nearly as insane as this. You can pull an older version from the mod portal if you're really interested in reliving the Dosh™ experience

      Different factions of bugs? I never played Factorio and the link two videos I've ever watched of it happened in 2015 or so. But one of the first things I thought watching this video (which I thoroughly enjoyed, by the way) was: it would be really interesting if there were multiple warring factions of bugs on the map that only see you as one more variable in their plans. You even talked about "their Western front" at one point, and that sounded like a cool thing.

      Yea, poison capsule's only weakness is that it do not deal a lot of damage instantly. The thing is ultimate worm killer, just hop into a tank (or car), barge in, throw 5-6 capsule onto each worm, retreat while dealing with the horde, then go in and deal with all the nest once the worms die. Those poison cloud also spawn kill every bitter up to the big one (and damaged the behemoth so hard you can easily deal with them) so other than the initial wave, you are free to deal with the nest however you want. A nest with no worm and all bitter die as soon as they spawn is no threat.

      (FYI: your math for 320 damage assumes 2 poison capsules stacked)
      And people underestimate combat bots. The defender only costs 3 red ammo, 3 gears, and 3 circuits, and is a flying SMG with infinite ammo that lasts 45 seconds and does 24 DPS, which maxes out at 1,080 damage! Plus the defender only takes military science (no blue).
      The distractor bot comes after military 3 (same level as poison capsules), and is a better version of the poison capsule. It does 7.5 DPS (slightly less), but lasts for for 45 seconds (instead of 20), and its damage is affect by research upgrades. Plus, a single distractor capsule will spawn 3 distractor bots, so 7.5 * 45 * 3 is again just over 1,000 damage!

    I really feel more people need to know this about rampant: the biter AI has a set of states and those states are restricted to only certain aggression levels. Iirc, the "siege" ai state is responsible for biters doing base creep. There is another more general expansion state too for more sparsely placed bases and one for consolidating and expanding existing bases. Both of these states are reatriced to certain aggression levels or "temperment" as it is refered to.
    additionally, biters do things like make new nests and generate units for attack based on points. They recieve points based on pollution AND destruction of bases. Destroying bases also raises their temperment which generally results in more dangerous ai states being allowed. Beware the dangerous quiet before the storm. Some temperments have a "peaceful" state mixed in. The biters will STOCKPILE points recieved during this. When it switches to a new state, this can result in an absolute nonstop flood of biters for minutes straight. I once had one for 20 minutes or so.
    on final thing, you mentioned biters being "gravitationally pulled" towards you? Thats them smelling you out. Biters will track players down based on "scent". A similar system *can* push biters towards less dangerous attack routes from them "smelling" dead bitters... generally they dont seem to do this much in my experience outside of certain cases such as a loooooong wall with turrets behind it but a gap in defense towards one or either end

    Regarding the "Weird Square Formation" with unmoving enemies: The mod states that it uses "potential fields" to do it's pathfinding and to find attack vectors and strategies pertaining to them.
    Thing is, potential fields (and other systems that use gradients and whatnot) have a certain weakness, the "local minimum/minima problem".
    Basically it's when (in the case of this example, a potential field) the system is getting stuck in a local 'minimum' instead of reaching the desired global one.
    Consider a marble rolling down hills to detect the deepest valley between them. It would get stuck in the first valley even though others might be deeper, because from the marbles perspective, the moment its at the deepest part of even a shallow pit, everything else goes up, which is not what it seeks, it seeks down.
    Thus, it gets stuck.
    So, maybe it hit an edge case, or some error that caused the local field chunk of its overall considered options to be "good enough", not reaching far enough to notice that something else is beyond its local area of consideration. The marble being stuck in a shallow valley, not being able to see beyond the hills around it.
    Going in depth on this is beyond the scope of this comment, and probably my ability to explain/teach anyway. (caush I'm nud det shmort)

      @@NavidIsANoob It's probably not the goto pathfinding algorithm. I think it's mostly used in machine learning and AI for machines directly (like drones and robots) and sometimes the approach is different too.
      I think used for robots it's swapped around, where obstacles are repulsers and whatnot.
      But in such cases the local minimum problem also exists, usually when the machine is faced (perfectly) symmetrical obstacles, especially coupled with narrow pathways, but even without the pathway.
      Imagine you're standing at a fork in road.
      And there are signs on each direction. Both telling you that something equally unpleasant is at the end of either.
      You wouldn't want to choose either fork direction and you might just wait at the fork waiting for salvation there. Only the robot will do it 100% of the time unless his better judgement gets overridden with evil, human whisperings in the code that something good is beyond the local badness.
      ...hope...
      lol

    Last time I did something like this, I required dual line of lasers with my flames. With my very limited power and capacity it was impossible to support just he passive drain; therefore I had to group the lasers into sub-power grid groups that were un-powered till a sensor laser fired. Finally the power systems would disable core base power when the power storage got to low and monitor for day/night cycles for power plant efficiency (to reduce coal consumption rate and pollution generation).
    The UPS eventually forced me to disable the modded biters I was using unfortunately.

    I've really enjoyed all your Factorio runs, but I have to admit this is a personal favorite. The absolutely constant, brutal pressure reminded me of the very first Factorio content I ever found, Warlord Mal's deathworld run before that was a setting. Back when copper plates had a different shape from iron. In fact, I remember now, it was literally the update that added oil to the game.
    No tank, he just drove around in a car tossing slowdown and poison capsules by the hundreds and lapping them around the 1x1 laser turret walls. Constant attacks, no space. He didn't even use a traditional main bus and... now that run is privated or gone or sth. But the memory is always there, and this helped me relive that wonderful sense of seeing somebody else sink or swim.

  • @Alexander_Sannikov

      I really like factorio niches, coal liquefaction, barreled liquids, power switches, capsules, cluster grenades, shotguns, all that stuff. They can be pointless in many games/runs.

Overall IR2 has some really unique and cool mechanics that are not present in vanialla like steam-powered tech, growing gems, complex alloy smelting, chemical electroplating, etc etc. Contrary to many other mods, it has graphics that are totally on par with vanilla and I'd say even better sound effects because IR's machines somehow synchronize with each other and their sounds merge to produce a music of sorts. I've never seen this happen in vanilla or any other mods.

      I think the reasoning behind lasers was that it doesn't eat up resources/oil. Going artillery in rampant is kindof useless, trust me, at least in this settings. You'll trigger so many extra attacks that you can't really afford them being online. You might have a single one to kill of nearby bases manually but with limited resources and time it is probably better to do something more important instead.

    I havent watched the whole video yet but as you are playing rampant (and not rampant, fixed) the default settings only enable the new A.I. and not the different biter factions and all the cool things they add and do, as well as a few other things. I personally always have the rampant mod installed on my play throughs because even without the new biter factions it just makes the game so much more fun for me. There are indeed settings in the mod settings section for it that let you turn on where they only attack at night (BUT STILL BUILD UP ATTACKING FORCES DURING THE DAY so if you enable it expect some BIG attack groups at night XD) and make it to where they ignore rails and power poles and lamps so you dont have to worry about rail worlds and stuff. I wont lie i active those settings, im not ashamed :p. Also youre downloading fireproof bots but in rampants mod settings theres a setting to make construction and/or logistics bots invulnerable.
    I like it, great video and fun run lol. Thank you for letting me know in advance that i may not like death world settings cause i was thinking about it XD.

    Weirdly enough, the biters destroying everything is what made the run possible since there’s no way you would have been able to properly set up a base with a base already there.
