How can i stop respawning nests?

[Hensy]

So i want stop respawning nests, So i change this "enemy_expansion=
{
enabled = false"

it was true i changed to false but still respawning the nests anyone any idea?

it is in "map-settings.lua"

but i want that sometime attack mine base but i don't want to respawn the nests....
i read a lot of thangs of this topic but i didn't find anything that could help me

and i don't want to download mods...
So are there any settings/command for this? that works?

An ingame solution is to place a building wherever you don't want nests to spawn. Nests will only spawn outside a certain distance from any of your buildings. Placing a single belt or wall wherever you eliminate a nest could work, but I haven't tested that.

That trick works in 0.12, but it won't work in 0.13 anymore.

oh so then i sucked? :( and what do the peacfull mod?

[ravage_mk2]

Peaceful mode STILL has them expanding into new bases.

Peaceful mode only stops any attacks triggered from pollution touching a base.
Or you wandering too close.


The only way to keep a cleared base "dead" is to setup defenses so no aliens can reach that spot anymore. "unprotected settlers are easy targets"


Btw, if you change alien behaviour via the console, you also have to kill the current generation of biters/spitters (via console), since the behaviour changs will only be valid on *new* biters and spitters spawned after the console change.

I never messed with the console myself, so not 100% on that.

Oh okey thanks the information but then i can change how many biters attack in this "map-settings.lua" and someelse but it is so bad thing that if i cleared an area later will spawn again bases...

I use a version of this trick. I leave a gun turret or two around old nests topped of with AP ammunition. ^_^

Yes, Pastmaster, 0.13 made Turrets useful again. I love it :)
