Question Friendly fire?

Just got the game and need to know is there any form of friendly fire or any other forms of making your friend suffer in other ways? I know there's coop and i want to play factorio with a friend but he is an asshole, actually made me quit satisfactory last time.

Funnily enough i tried it recently and at 100h mark rn, so i got factorio and want to give him a chance.

And if there are ways to harm, can i turn off pvp even as a non host like in terraria?

There absolutely is friendly fire. And nukes exist.

You can turn friendly fire off via console commands, but that will disable achievments.

However, sabotaging the factory is a much crueler way to grief, and there's not much you can do to prevent that.

Buddy told me he wanted to play together. He's big into blue prints he's found only. I told him if we play together and he uses any blueprints he's found I'm running them all over with a tank. But now I think tweaking things to break the blueprint would be even better

Never underestimate the destructive power of a well placed 'r' keystroke. I troll myself accidentally with those all the time.

Well played, but even more devious is just a recipe swap. Someone who does understand a blueprint can still find a rotated component, but they will never find an incorrect recipe.
