Pentapods

The upcoming expansion of Factorio, titled Space Age, introduces new enemies called Pentapods, which are alien creatures resembling starfish with five legs. The Pentapod family includes three types: Wrigglers, which are smaller and attack players; Strafers, which launch Wrigglers from a distance; and Stompers, the largest type that can crush obstacles. The Pentapods are attracted to players by organic crops rather than pollution, differing from the Biters in the base game. Players will need to gather Pentapod eggs to create biochambers for producing industrial products on the new planet Gleba. Additionally, a free 2.0 update will enhance gameplay with smarter worker robots, new rail systems, a remote viewing feature, and an updated fluid system.
