Make an existing game harder

[liamjdavison]

I've always been a cautious player, and I'm not a big fan of combat. So for my most recently playthrough I turned down the biter spawner size and frequency... and there's really no challenge at all. I like my factory and the map, so I want to keep playing it. How can I up the difficulty?

I'm thinking of replacing all my effectivity modules with production modules in order to increase pollution - will this pull in more angry biters?

Alternatively, is there a console command I can use to up the difficulty, e.g. change the map settings so that more, larger biter spawners appear (presumably in the unrevealed areas of the map, maybe I should switch off my radars for now?).
