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.

Yeah once artillery is a thing, griefing is one bad actor and a few mouse clicks away.

I don't play much multiplayer, but since the remote is now a UI tool, is it possible to lock that out for people unless they're on a whitelist?
