You check a box at world gen to turn on peaceful. Sometimes you just have a passive game -- you start in an isolated area with lots of water and forests to absorb the pollution.

Have you built any radars? Do you know the locations of any enemy bases? Check your map. If your pollution cloud is touching the enemy bases, but they aren't sending waves to attack you, you must indeed have peaceful mode on.

At any rate, you can bring up the console with the tilde key. This command enables/disables peaceful mode:

/c game.player.surface.peaceful_mode = true

"true" turns peaceful mode on, "false" turns it off.

You can see your pollution in your map (both main and mini maps) by hitting the Alt key.

Pollution is turned off by default in the minimap.

You can check if peaceful mode is enabled using this command, it will print true or false to the console:

/c game.player.print(game.player.surface.peaceful_mode)

To enable (true) or disable (false) peaceful mode:

/c game.player.surface.peaceful_mode = false

After toggling peaceful mode you need to run this command:

/c game.forces["enemy"].kill_all_units()

Existing biters don't change their mode when you toggle peaceful mode. This command kills all biters, which then soon respawn with the correct peaceful mode setting.

Does changing peaceful mode using the console command affect gaining achievements in that map?

Thank you.

Is there any way to turn achievements back on? I made the mistake of putting a Lua command in without realizing this.

[IronHair]

nope :(
