This Factorio mod allows you to toggle "Peaceful mode" at will.
Normally, toggling peaceful mode through a lua command disables achievements for the save:
/c game.player.surface.peaceful_mode = true / false
This mod lets you circumvents that.
If you disable the mod, the "peaceful" setting will still be what it was last set to. This allows you to disable "peaceful" mode while keeping steam achievements enabled for non-modded games.
The mod shouldn't corrupt your save, but as always, back-up first. (The author of this mod can 't be held responsible for corrupted saves ;-) )
Note: The toggle will kill all (mobile) biters, as their "peacefulness" is set when they spawn. Afaik, this can't be updated.
- Start Factorio.
- Open the "Mod" menu.
- Search for the "Toggle Peaceful Mode" mod.
- Install the mod.
- Use the button on the top-left to toggle peaceful mode at will.
This mod should work with some modded biter factions, as long as their force's name starts with "biter_faction_". If there are modded factions this doesn't work with, please let me know!
