    I dunno how much more explicit it really needs to be, the biters attack you and get stronger directly because of the pollution you cause. The more you destroy their world the more they try to get you off it. I always felt like that made it pretty clear that you’re the villain.

      Really? Why are there no benign animals? Why are all the alien creatures designed to evoke an easy disgust reaction from the player?

      I am fine blasting alien bugs, what I wanted from Factorio was a more tongue in cheek awareness of the fundamental selfish brutality to the plot.

        maybe it’s just because I don’t really find the biters disgusting then. They are benign, there’s just nothing that helps the player because the player is evil.
