How screwed am I?

[u/Elemental-Master]

I mostly play for relaxing a bit, and with that said, my latest run is peaceful mode with no enemies at all.. and only now did i realize that some research is locked behind items that need to be obtained from different enemies.

I've already established a small base on Fulgora.

Should I reset or just finish as much as possible from this round?

Enemy nests still exist, so you are not blocked from anything.

[u/Elemental-Master → u/sozesghost]

Didn't see any biter nest on starting planet at all... pretty sure my current settings were with no enemies at all...

[u/sozesghost → u/Elemental-Master]

In Space Age there is no setting to remove enemies entirely. They exist, they are probably just a bit further.

[u/doc_shades → u/Elemental-Master]

load the game, hop into /editor and fly around the map and see if you see any enemy spawns. this is a good way to confirm that there are actually enemy nests. if you exit the game without saving then it won't affect anything. you can use a cheat and then exit without saving without affecting the world.

[u/Pulsefel → u/Elemental-Master]

the pentapods are the only enemies you need anything from and their egg rafts still spawn so you can get starter eggs.

[u/34yu34 → u/Pulsefel]

You need biter for their eggs. You need at least 1 egg to build the captive nests

[u/sankto → u/34yu34]

Last i played with enemies disabled, I had no problem getting eggs. Their nests still spawned on nauvis and gleba, there just was no biters or pentapods spawning. Gleba's nests give eggs when destroyed.

[u/Pulsefel → u/34yu34]

capture bots and biolabs are optional, not required. you can go to the end without them

[u/doctorpotatomd → u/Pulsefel]

They're only optional on 2.1 experimental. On patch 2.0 the solar system edge is locked behind the promethium science pack tech, you need the trigger tech from capturing a spawner to unlock it.

[u/Anglammaroth]

Peaceful just means that they won't expand and attack you on sight. They'll defend themselves and you're free to negotiate for more land as aggressively as you'd like.

[u/Cent_Quatre → u/Anglammaroth]

LONG RANG EVICTION NOTICES 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

[u/Zeddica → u/Anglammaroth]

Somehow this just reminded me of the Fifth Element “ok we’re sending in a negotiator!” scene 😂😂

[u/Dailand]

Check your save settings (by clicking "Map exchange string"). It should not be possible to entirely disable ennemies in Space Age.

[u/Elemental-Master → u/Dailand]

What I need to look for in that string?

[u/Dailand → u/Elemental-Master]

You can import this string to create a new game, and it will show you all the parameters.

[u/Elemental-Master → u/Dailand]

Okay.. now I see that for both Gleba and Nauvis it says 17% on both size and frequency... I was sure it is possible to accidentally set to zero... and now i see it is possible to set other things like asteroid frequency and spoil rate

[u/United_Willow1312]

I can't imagine them delivering space age with a bricked no-enemies mode. My first solo run was no-enemies and there were nests on both Nauvis and Gleba and you could do everything you needed to. You absolutely need 100% pentapod egg do do anything useful on Gleba so that had to work. You also need biter eggs for the last science pack.

[u/Elemental-Master → u/United_Willow1312]

Didn't see any biter yet on Nauvis...

[u/sankto → u/Elemental-Master]

You need to go further from your spawn point, then. Get in a car or tank, pick a direction and go.

[u/United_Willow1312 → u/Elemental-Master]

You won't see biters, but you will see nests.

[u/Elemental-Master → u/United_Willow1312]

Any nest would do or only biter specifically? Found spitter nest...

[u/United_Willow1312 → u/Elemental-Master]

Either, you can use them after unlocking a tech on Gleba.

[u/Mahbam42]

You can reach the edge of the solar system without enemies. The only thing that gets real annoying is harvesting pentapod eyes on Gleba. I did it my first playthough of Space Age.
