I want a peaceful mode

[Tungsten Whitmarsh Cadow]

I'm old. I'm tired. I'm tired of starting over. I like to relax. I've got like 3000 hours on Factorio because Factorio has a peaceful mode where the bugs aren't that aggressive. Sure, sometimes I like them aggressive. I can turn it on. That's what I'd like so that I can build and explore and test things out without constantly getting jumped.

There are always those who think it would ruin the game. Not really. You can just play your game in aggressive mode. You can even keep me out of some of the achievements for being lame or whatever. I can live without that.

I'd still want the cannibals and mutants around but I'd have to provoke them to get them after me. I could then try out traps and things.

Thanks for your time

It'a possible to do what you request, though to do it how you request would involve the use of console commands. If you just feel like playing peacefully, there is a peaceful mode where enemies won't spawn. To do what you ask without any commands, you'd switch between your peaceful and normal/hard games depending on what you feel like playing at the time. To be able to switch between normal and peaceful difficulty, or to make it so that the enemies only spawn during certain periods, that is the part that would take commands.

If you do decide to go with commands, you would need to enable cheats in your settings and type "developermodeon" blindly at the main menu. There's no text box to enter this, you just type it randomly while sitting at the title screen. If it's successfully been turned on, pressing f1 should let you see the console and check that its on. Then you can load up the save you plan to tinker with. If you wanted the enemies to not spawn, you'd enter the command "enemies off", if you want them back it's just "enemies on". If you want them to spawn, but only sometimes you can try "vegetarianmode" at the main menu or in game. If it worked correctly, vegetarian mode means that enemies will only spawn at night but not during the daytime.
