I’m one of the persons who likes to play factorio without the aliens and the pressure that comes with them. I’ve been drooling at the weekly blog entries showing the coming factorio 2 and have wondered if it’s going to be possible to play without the aliens. I haven’t seen mention of whether they will be required other than I seem to recall they were mentioned on one of the new planets. Does anyone know if the peaceful player will be able to exist in the new game?
Thanks! May your factory continue to grow!
I don’t see how playing on peaceful would be a problem in the update. Should be fine.
Do we get peaceful asteroids though?
You don’t get peaceful trains in 1.0
We cannot know true peace without death.
Peaceful mode is enabled by defeating the war mode faction, and then by stomping out any uprisings of new war mode factions.
Peaceful mode is a deliberate feature in the game that a lot of players play. I would be surprised if they removed or broke it.
Even if they did, there’d be a mod to fix it within minutes. :)
I’ve been casually eyeing this game for awhile now and truly had no idea there were enemies. I’ve never even seen one in a video!
When I do finally check it out, I’m definitely staying peaceful
I sometimes play without biters. I’ve found they are a good foil for your abilities.
Early on, they are a nuisance.
As you grow, they become a serious hurdle.
However, as you begin to outpace them, you gain a definitive upper hand. Nothing quite like the satisfaction of an artillery barrage to wipe out all the nests, while the survivors are cooked by your laser turrets, when they counter-attack.
Then again, factorio is a game that appeals to the masochistic perfectionist (particularly some of the mods), so I might be biased. 😁
