So, as the title says, i was looking onto my saved games, when i seen that there's a parameter called difficulty.
What does it do and how do i change it?

difficulty is only available for campaign missions, whre you can choose between easy, oldschool? and hard.
for freeplay the only thing you can change when it comes to biter difficulty is how many there should be of them

Factorio is a game about automating everything. One day, i hope i can automate shitty signatures just like this one.

I don't think difficulty changes anything at the moment, at least I didn't notice the game getting harder or easier when I experimented with it.

Playing the campaign right now!
By the way, any suggestions on how to react to Biters/Spitters?
(I'm not an expert since i'm playing in peaceful most of the time.)

Kill'em. Kill'em all (Metallica fan inside ).
Or you can try and invite them for lunch, but you wouldn't be pleased to learn what they eat I guess ^^
More seriously :
- first with your handgun
- as soon as you have SMG, with the SMG
- as soon as you have gun turrets, turrets ftw, with one box for 2 turrets, inserters too feed them, either coal or electric (coal is good in case of frequent power outages, electric is more practical and less ressource hungry if you are sure of your power capabilities).
- as soon as you have access to piercing bullets, use them
- as soon as you have access to shotguns, craft yourself one, good for rocks destroying and biter nests)
- after that, laser turrets
- after that, combat shotgun, then piercing shotgun shells.
Depending on the campain's mission, you'll "unlock" more as you advance.
