Playground?

[小スライム]

Is there a completely flat playground anywhere in the game? I hate having to use the farm because of all the background objects and npcs attracting enemies.

the closest thing other than the farm is the moon i would say

They really need to add in the old playground from the first two games.

Try the roof from the school level.

NPCs stay dead until you reset the level, so that problem solves itself, really.

As for flat empty spaces, the farm is probably your best shot.

If you really, REALLY want a completely empty space, you can fly up to the top right section of Ampersand Beach and create a row of "massive long immovable indestructible platform"s in the sky. (Keep in mind that you can quickly remake a previous object by pressing up on the notepad.)
It's far from a perfect solution, though. Trees and buildings will fall through them, AI behaves a bit strangely on it, and if you've got a jetpack on, walking from one platform to the other will cause Maxwell to go into fly mode. I recommend just using the farm, honestly.

I love how they had found the empty titlescreen playground was an absolute favorite feature in previous games [1] and then went on and completely removed it. They motivate it with 'now the whole world is the playground', but ... it isn't my playground, as it is already filled to the brim with their stuff!

It is just like "Hey, we heard you liked coloring books, so, here, have a HUGE one. And, you know, we have already filled in all the colors for you, so now you can just open it up and enjoy". Gee, 5th cell, thanks for completely missing the mark on that one.

I have found the metaforest to work pretty well as a testing ground, because of the relatively calm background. But, yeah, you have to start every level-reset with a gigantic murder spree to clear it out. :-/

Except for the npcs that you can't kill, such as Lily or Edwin.

well the world doesn't interact with unkillable npcs.

[小スライム]

Then why does every hostile creature I make go to assault Lily?

EXTREMELY late, but Lily can be eaten by creatures with the Omnivorous adjective. Edwin is immortal, though, and can't be removed. Hostile creatures don't attack him, at least.
