'''Turrets''' are defensive structures that can be crafted after being researched. They come in two different tiers with different health, shooting speed, range, ammunation, damage type and damage per shot.
-----

__FORCETOC__

== Gun Turrets ==

Gun turrets are very basic and cheap defensive structures and the easiest way of automatic defense. They use magazines as ammunation, which can be refilled manually or by [[inserters]]. There is no power needed so they can operate practically everywhere as long as they have sufficient ammunation. Fully upgraded and provided [[piercing rounds magazine]] they can potentially deal more damage than laser turrets ([http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4363&start=20 see thread]), but they still need to face some resistances and they have got a lower range. The gun turret damage upgrade stacks multiplicatively with the bullet damage upgrade. Fully upgraded this means 2.2*2.2=4.84 times as much damage; 9.68 damage with regular bullets or 24.2 damage with armor-piercing bullets, an armor piercing bullet kills small enemies in one shot, and deals more damage to a heavy biter/spitter than a laser shot does.

Gun turrets are always sized 1x2 even when rotated which makes them somewhat problematic to use with rotated [[Blueprint]]s. It's no problem to mirror the blueprint, but when rotated by 90° they may 'overwrite' an inserter or let one tile free between them. The workaround to this is to use two blueprints, one for north-south and one for west-east usage.

Laser turrets are an advanced defense method independent from ammunition. They have a high range, good damage and use [[electricity]] at a lower shooting rate than gun turrets. Dealing '''laser damage''' they don't face any resistances ([[enemies]] receive full damage).

At the time, Factorio has three types of enemies: Biters, Spitters and Worms.
----

__FORCETOC__

== Biters ==
Biters are one of two main antagonists in the game. They are the native inhabitants of the extraterrestrial world and commonly live peacefully with worms and spitters.
Biters are arthropods living in organic nests. They come in 3 sizes: small, medium and big. In the beginning of each freeplay game there will only be the small ones, with increasing [[pollution]] they will become bigger, related to the enemy's [[evolution]].
Biters are attracted by and enraged by pollution and will attempt to destroy its sources. They prefer to attack the player character, [[turret]]s and [[logistic robot]]s and will stop searching for pollution if they can see and attack any of those.
Biters deal physical damage.

*Physical 8/0%
|}

== Spitters ==
Spitters are much like Biters. The only difference is - except their appearance - that they only have got a ranged attack. They spit at any opponents (e.g. players) with an acid projectile that can neither be dodged nor deal damage to anything else than the original target. Commonly the acid resistance of any buildings (like a [[turret]]) and [[armor]] is much less than its physical resistance. Because of this Spitters deal more average damage than Biters. Their behavior and sizes are very similar to the Biter ones, except their health and resistances.

|}

== Worms ==
The Worms are natural allies of Biters and Spitters and will attack you if you get close enough. They act like static [[turret]]s and will not follow you.

Like any other enemy, worms come in 3 sizes, their power increasing with size. Unlike Biters and Spitters, Big and Medium Worms can be created directly after start of a new game. Their appearance is not dependent on time. (see http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=6454)

=== Evolution ===
The game evolution factor is a global variable that determines what kind of biters will be spawned. You can check the variable in the dev console:
game.player.print(game.evolutionfactor)

It goes from 0 (not evolved at all) to 1 (maximal evolution). At the moment the evolution factor can only increase. This evolution factor is increased by three kinds of events:

* The passage of time very slightly increases the evolution factor.
* The production of pollution (globally) increases the evolution factor.
* Destroying the enemy spawners significantly increases the evolution factor.

All these values are set in mapsettings. There they can also be changed / modded.

Current (0.9.1) default settings are:

-- percentual increase in the evolution factor for 60 ticks (game second)
game.player.print(game.mapsettings.enemy_evolution.time_factor

0.000008

-- percentual increase in the evolution factor for 1000 Pollution Units
game.player.print(game.mapsettings.enemy_evolution.pollution_factor)

0.00003

-- percentual increase in the evolution factor for every destroyed enemy spawner
game.player.print(game.mapsettings.enemy_evolution.destroy_factor)

0.005

The percentages are applied on the base of (1 - current_evolution_factor). So for instance destroying the enemy spawner in the beginning of the game results in increase of evolution factor by 0.005 (half a percent) while doing this when the evolution factor is 0.5 the increase is only 0.0025 (quarter a percent).

As of 0.9.1 the biter spawning is done probabilistically based on the current evolution. Lets imagine a wheel - the "spawning wheel". We will be slicing that wheel as a cake. Small biters take the first 0.3 part of the wheel, medium ones the middle 0.3 part and big biters take the last 0.4. When a biter is about to be spawned the random point on the wheel is selected limited by the current evolution. So in theory while the evolution is below 0.3 there should be only small biters, then slowly medium ones will enter and in the end the big ones. The composition of the biter animation in the end should be 0.3-0.3-0.4. There is one more factor called the spawn_shift - this is a mechanism when the further away from the starting location the more the "rolling of the wheel" is shifted towards one. That means that if the shift is 0.2 for instance that at the time when evolution factor is 0.25 the result for spawning is actually 0.2 + 0.25 = 0.45 and a medium biter might be spawned.

Besides choosing what kind of biter will be spawned the evolution also influences the spawning interval. As of 0.9.1 this interval (spawning_cooldown in the enemy-spawner definition) is interpolated between 360 (0 evolution) and 150 (1 evolution) ticks.

All the values for the spawner (distribution of the biters based on evolution, the spawning shift, spawning_cooldown, etc.) can be modded from the data.

=== Expansions ===

Sometimes a small group of biters will leave their base to create a new base. This group will search for a suitable spot that's about 3 chunks away from existing biter bases and 3 chunks away from any of your buildings.
Once they have found a suitable spot the group of biters dies and forms a new base. This new base will first be very small (about one spawner and a few worms) but will get some additional spawners within a small area as time passes. This base-wide expansion is somehow limited (the blog says something about 7, but that doesn't seem to match reality in some cases).

== Acid Damage ==

Worms and spitters deal '''acid damage'''. Despite how it looks, those projectiles can neither deal damage to units other than the target nor can be dodged.
