Have you played the game? Biters are an infestation, if you do nothing they'll eat up the remaining available surface and destroy the local biomass. The engineer has at least a choice, and it's goal isn't infinite consumption.
Sure locally a bear can get me in a forest, but I don't need ecocide to survive a bear, and neither the engineer has to to survive biters.
- sudosysgen 5y agoI did play the game, way too much actually. The biters don't actually destroy the biomass. Canonically, in the game, they've been there forever : https://wiki.factorio.com/Enemies https://wiki.factorio.com/Enemies , so their expansion is only triggered by the arrival of the engineer. They also consume pollution, making them symbiotic with the local biomass.
