Enable Enemies Mid-Game

[LtKronos]

I have played a while now without enemies (No Enemy bases). But now i have a good running factory and i want to have enemies now. Is it possible to turn them on using the console?

Code: Select all

/c 
local s = game.player.surface.map_gen_settings
s["enemy-base"] = {
  frequency = "normal",
  richness = "normal",
  size = "normal"}
game.player.surface.map_gen_settings = s

This will reenable the generation, so when you explore new sectores they will have enemies. If you play with mods that add new enemy spawners additional tweaks might be required.

Tank you for the answer!

I tried it but it did not worked for me. Maybe because of the mods i play with.
But is it possible to just spawn the biter nests manually an then wait till they expand?

Beware enemies!

Code: Select all

/c local surface = game.player.surface
for c in surface.get_chunks() do
	local position = surface.find_non_colliding_position("biter-spawner", {x=c.x*32+16, y=c.y*32+16}, 10, 3)
	if position and surface.is_chunk_generated(c) then
		surface.create_entity{name="biter-spawner", position=position}
	end
end

Just kill them all, it's for balance of no-biters-on-start
