Turn off invasions?

[Tricky Treat]

I was wondering if there was a way to turn off invasions?

Now I'm not asking to turn off Hostile NPCs, matter of fact I'd like them to stay but the invasions are getting incredibly annoying.

I'd like to be able to sit back, kill non-impressive NPCs, build, and gather without being bothered by a legitimate threat.

Almost like the peaceful mode in minecraft or other such games.

If there's a reward for defeating Invaders (e.g. a large Block Bucks bounty), but some people prefer to toggle it off then that's something we can consider adding.

I second turning off invasions. Or at least let the reward be something really nice. Was about to write a bad review because of dying, while still learning the game, to invasions. Wouldn't be so bad if our vehicle parts could self repair. If I need to find a part, guessing it is in the indestructible shield dome thingy I found, then that is bunk. Edit: If the money is indeed supposed to be the nice reward then how do we spend it?

The game is in early release, alot of features and basic functions aren't in the game at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if the ability to spend our in-game cash wasn't implemented yet.

I would LOVE the ability to toggle off invasions.

I have not had a single invasion... -__- the "late game" is boring without invasions.

if invasions are the spawning vehicles when just traveling - I have to say they are annoying because its everytime the same vehicles. By now I only found 2 different: 1 yellow, 1 normal blocks, everytime looking the same which is annoying - also in terms of finding new parts.

I'm not even sure what the invasion was. I was attacking an NPC, just after I started I saw a message on the screen saying I should prepare for an invasion, then another saying an alien had landed or something and by the time the battle was over with the NPC I have a message on my screen saying I had lost the invasion and I should 'Leave this area'. I didn't even see the invasion. What was that all about?

The area still seems normal, I guess there must be some big bad alien floating around somewhere, but I can't see it. My base is intact, the trading post is still there.... did I actually miss an alien invasion?!?

Invasions do not occur on grass.

If you want invasions, stay off the grass. if you don't stay on the grass.

The only problem i have with invasions is that they are always showing on my radar. No matter how far i'm away. And i have like 10 or so Invaders on my radar. I'd be happy if they just vanish from the radar after some distance.

They should add a feature to see if you want to accept the challenge of being invaded, rather than dropping an invader in an area and leaving it there forever.

Well invasions arent so bad, I mean for me they are my way of getting easy money (I get attacked by giant GEOCORP techs, I snipe them and then i sell the parts) and also they are a nice way of getting those expensive blocks, like venture boost rockets or geocorp 15 TON mecha drill.

I would love a toggle for some sort of peaceful mode.

Invasions seem to only happen if you hang out near the trader stations for a long time. I have only had 1 in 6 hours of play.

You all realize you are commenting on a 7 month old thread correct? The way invasions are handled now are probably different than when the OP originally created this thread back in February. Just keep that in mind. I am glad to hear invasions have been toned down though.
