Vanilla Factions Expanded – Insectoids 2 Mod is a successor to the popular Vanilla Factions Expanded – Insectoids. This mod builds on what made the original great, focusing exclusively on insectoid-related mechanics while adding several extensive new systems to enhance your interactions with the insectoid hive.
Get ready to experience a proper expansion of the insectoid theme in the game. Here’s what you can expect:
- Summon and Battle New Bosses: Research and build thumpers to summon new and formidable insectoid bosses and test your combat skills!
- Build and Manage Your Hive: Run your own insectoid hive, harvest resources, breed new types of insectoids, and create a bustling hub of activity using Hivetech.
- New Structures and Defenses: Construct unique walls and defensive structures that only your insectoids can build, adding innovation to your colony’s defenses.
- Dynamic Combat Challenges: Prepare for unexpected raids and battles, with insectoid attacks unfolding in unique ways.
- Engaging Quests and World Events: Participate in quests and world events centered around insectoid infestations, with new challenges and rewards.
- Research and Innovation: Unlock new technologies and secrets of the insectoids to gain an edge in survival.
With this remaster, some elements such as plasma weapons, archotech artifacts, and genetic engineering of new insects have been removed to better fit the insectoid theme. These mechanics will be reintroduced in other mods where appropriate.
