Biters not attacking

[ponchovia]

So I searched around and most posts were from a 2016 2017. We have been playing for about 20 - 30 hours and no biter attacks.

We have walked into their bases. Put miners right next to them so we know pollution is hitting them and still nothing unless we attack first.

I have verified that peaceful is off and have even killed off all biters using command line and still no attacks.

Using Steam, factorio version 16.51 stable

Any ideas?

You probably turned on Peaceful Mode in the map settings.

Ok did some digging around looks like map-gen-settings had peaceful set to true. I changed this to false, saved file and restarted game but it still shows as peaceful ingame until i manually do a /c game.player.surface.peaceful_mode = false

Is there a way change the map to false so that it stays that?

Peaceful mode is not a global setting, it's separate for each save, and stored in it.

Run the command and then save the game. It should stay off after reloading.

Or ur production is too low and too much trees around u.

Thanks all.

I will do the save to make sure it stays.

I did turn off peaceful in game for a bit and kill all existing biters. Then got swarmed HAHAHA

Immediately turned peaceful back on as we have no defenses at this time.

Thanks for all the help
