How to remove enemies via console?

So I accidentally put enemies on rich... like my entire starting area is just outlined in enemies. Is there any way to remove enemies via console command? Or to copy the map or edit properties or something so they are removed? I just wanted to play a map with rich minerals and wasn't paying attention to the properties before loading the map and now it's causing a problem for me. Luckily they're peaceful but still :\
Edit: And I mean remove the actual hives so they don't come back. I already know about the "kill all moving enemies" thing.

If you're not too far into the map, you could generate a map with the exchange string, and just turn biters off or whatever it is you want to do with them.

I'm really far
I have fuel production going right now so yeah. I'd rather not start a new map if I didn't have to if possible.

Try this:
Code: Select all
/c local struct = {}
local c, t = 0, 0
for coord in game.getchunks() do
local X,Y = coord.x, coord.y
find = {"biter-spawner", "spitter-spawner", "small-worm-turret", "medium-worm-turret", "big-worm-turret"}
if game.ischunkgenerated{X,Y} then
struct[X.." "..Y] = {}
local area = {{X*32, Y*32}, {X*32 + 32, Y*32 + 32}}
for _,enemy in pairs(find) do
for _, entity in ipairs(game.findentitiesfiltered{area = area, name = enemy}) do
t = t+1
if math.random(1,10) > 5 then
c = c+1
entity.destroy()
end
end
end
if not struct[X.." "..Y][1] then struct[X.." "..Y] = nil end
end
end
game.player.print("Terminated "..c.." of "..t.."enemy structures")
Should remove about 50% of spawners and worms. Remove the if .. end around entity.destroy to be really cruel

There seems to be no way to change generation settings, so you'll probably have to run that script every once in a while.

I put this code in the console and it will eliminate the enemies?
Nice, I'll try it when I get a chance. If that's not how I do it, let me know please.
I appreciate the help guys, so much.

Hi All can some one please help with a new command of the above that will work on 12.8 and if it is posable i want to get rid of all spawners of the map this is a very large map
my co-op mate has finished playing factorio for the moment and i want to just use this map for refining my train skills and the wiping out the spawners is very time consuming as all enemy is at max evolution and just solid red around the base

Hi All
Can one of you bright coding guys help me out with a 12.8 compliant version of the above code
I am in a game that started of co-op and my mate has had all he can take of Factorio so i am going to use this map and a big sand box for refining my train skills
We started with the biters on max and evaluation is now max so the hole map is just about solid red outside my walls this isn’t a big problem as with the mods I have on I am now just about invincible it is just very time consuming to clear them out
If it is posable to have it remove all spawner like the kill all moving enemies code
I intent to do a big run around and stop them expanding back to the walls

thanks for the quick reply
but it didnt work do i need to change the local area = {{X*32, Y*32}, {X*32 + 32, Y*32 + 32}} as im a long way away from the starting point

You don't need to change anything, that area doesn't have anything to do with your current position. Did you actually execute that code as a command, not say it as a chat message? DId you get some kind of error message?

Thanks for trying to help me out
Yes I am entering it as a command and I get the noise that happens when you use a command but all the bases are still there I did go to check and entered the code while standing in a very large base
No error code but nothing happened
I did the kill all command and that removed all the creeps
I did change the game to peaceful mode and have a lot of mods running
Am I able to get a log file to help you know what is happening?
And what I was trying to say is that I have a very large area cleared of enemies
Is this only trying to clear a 32x32 from the starting spot ?

Does a mod change the name of the spawners? Point the mouse at one and run game.local_player.print(game.local_player.selected.name)

Next step would be to add more prints...

The 32s in there get multiplied by X and Y, which are the coordinates of the chunk we're currently iterating over. And we're iterating over all the chunks, so it should be fine.

Right, you're just missing the /c there. That's needed to execute commands, without it you're posting a chat message.

Sorry for necroing. I used this, and it appears to have removed all enemies from the map, instead of ~50%. Is there any way to respawn them?

That would defeat the purpose, since I'd be back right where I started.
