Enemy map settings for easy play wanted

I played Factorio years ago but then not anymore.
I like to start with Space Age from scratch, and I want no enemies or only as few enemies as necessary.
As far as I know in the later game, we need eggs from the enemies, so switching them off completely is probably a bad idea, correct?
What are the easiest map settings for Enemies which allow to play the game completely - I don't care about achievements.
Can/should I set No enemies and/or Peaceful mode?
If I do that, will I still be able to get eggs (I think I need them later in the game on at least one planet)?
Thanks

Enemy bases will be created with the "No enemies" setting, just the enemy units are prevented from spawning (from bases, eggs spoiling, etc). So you'll have no problem playing through the game with either setting.

Thank you.
And how about the Peaceful mode setting?

Just as it says on the tooltip. Enemy bases will spawn units, but they'll only defend themselves when you attack first. I'm not sure if enemy units will attack you when they hatch from eggs, so better be prepared
I usually play with the regular settings but with reduced enemies and decreased expansion, it helps me not getting stressed in the early game.
