God mode / Cheats / Invincible?

[Azuwi]

I think I started my map with too high difficulty and the aliens have swarmed everywhere, I just wanna go inside and remove one or two nests so I can focus more on building without getting attacked nonstop. And I really don't wanna start over (12 hours in) the game, is there a way to do this without disabling achievements? Like go into the enemy base but they can't damage me or I can't take damage on my character? Ammo I can craft myself. No need to be infinite. Or just "Nuke" them, or remove their nest with some command.?

If I can't do this without disabling achievements, then I'm all ears for helping me grow better and annhilate them from earth the "standard" way, but I get rekt in like 3 seconds as soon I get close to their nest.

Gear:
Modular Armor
Submachine gun
Piercing rounds magazine (red bullets) (damage 8+1,6)
both Weapon speed and weapon damage 2 have been researched.

I last about 3 seconds if I go inside nest radius if the nest is at the edge of my screen, if i go fully inside I'm gonna die in 0,1 sec lol.

I think they have 4-5 units;
The standard spawnlings
Some upgraded stronger and bigger version spawnlings
Some acid spitter worms (mobile)
Some acid spitter worms that are not mobile (stuck in ground)
and one building structure:
The hive

And my map is mostly red... (monsters) FYI.

dont know a mod that will help. But you could try the slow turret creep method.

Basically build a line of turrets "laser works best for this" And copy the line in a blueprint. Then slowly place blueprint infront of exsisting line... Remove old line and place it in front. And repeat. Once get to the stationary spitters will need to help turrets. And bring lot of repair packs.

Once kill nest it will spawn less bugs at you.

Personal laser guns you place in your equipment grid will be useful as well.

i have turrets but they keep destroy them (with ranged attacks acid spit) but how do i get laser gun? really hard to advance research with this :D hard mode confirmed.

hmm if the nests that big not sure what can do. can place tower line. and move just close enough to nests to trigger chase. then run back to turrets. they should focus on you for a min. Then once clear enough place new turret line. the stationary spitters you can dodge their attacks. if gets to thick run back to your line. But if its as bad as state.... might have no choice to restart. Their are mods that ramp up bugs as time passes and such. If want can set bugs low... and raise it later once more developed. But for now.... maybe get the settable starting mod. it lets you pick what start with. I forget name, headed to bed so game turning off so cant look atm. But you get the same items when you die "and each death so either once kill bugs turn it off. Or delete items on respawning later.".

Give your self power armor m2 and fusion power and laser guns. I forget if has shields to. once set it. add it to your save "make 2ndbackup save as im not sure if effects achievements. might need check mod page" and then... die and should have new gear.


Other then this i dont see way to clear huge nests with what you have.

where is laser gun? if i place turret to close to hive the spitters shoot the turrets and kill them. ive got black potions automated now and just researched flamethrower idk if it helps

also i tried some console commands already before, but.. i dont know if i disabled achievements now or not? how do i check if i disabled achivements?

He is talking about "personal laser defense" that are equipments for your armour but you can't have those before the next tier of armour anyway.

For console commands, you have the choice between god mode (no longer having a body, so no weapons either but "consumable" items like grenades and combat robots still work) or various commands to kill bitters.

does gode mode disable achivements?

when is laser armor researchable? is it blue potion? by then how strong will enemy be?

i put energy armor module in my armor and it helped a bit with survive but still hard. how effective is flame throwers and rocket launchers?

[Fel]

All console commands that start with /c (and a lot of others as well) disable achievements for that save.

Personal laser defense is in the blue science:

I never used /c

i used /version and /time and change my color.

If you just unlocked flame turrets you can use them as part of the turret creep strategy, barrel some oil, bring an assembler and just place a couple of turrets outside aggro range but ideally in the turret's range (which is long) and pipe up to them and unbarrel the oil in the assembler. They will need support because minimum range but will make it easier to approach.

Fire is very good vs spawners and worms.

Early game, tanks are still a good way to take out spawners and worms. You'll need a personal roboport and some construction bots in your inventory to make repairs while you fight.

You can also build a bunker just out of detection range and use a car to make drive by attacks. (You can temporarily string large power poles to the bunker for power if you need it and dismantle it when the nest is gone) Fire the car's submachine gun while you throw grenades out the window. When the heat gets to be too much, your car takes too much damage and needs repair, or there's too much worm spit on the ground, drive back to the bunker and let your turrets handle the mass of bugs following you while your robots repair the car and any damage the bunker might take.

Once you have explosive rockets you can do the same bunker trick on foot. The rockets have a nice range. Go out until the worms pop out of the ground but haven't started spitting, then fire 3 or 4 rockets (try to prioritize the spawners) and retreat to the bunker.

if you still need to cheat kill them then install creative mod and use the magic wand to kill them. achievements are disabled while mods are active but when youre done and removed the mod youll get the achievements back. save before using that mod just in case you mess up something

That's right, why trying to get good at the game when you can just cheat to get achievements?

He asked if it was possible to do it without disabling achievements, not if he could cheat to get them.

i think we have some misunderstandings here, im not telling him to cheat achievements, i just gave him a way to kill those biters without disabling achievements, just like he asked if he could kill them out of his way with cheats
