Check/Change Biter Expansion?

Post by Dyesi »

I just loaded up a world I had made a couple days ago, and really got into it. I can't remember if Biter expansion is on or off. Is there a way to check that, and if it's on, to turn it off? (Lua commands, file editing, the like)

Go to the load screen, click the button to get a map exchange string, put that into the map generator, and look at the settings.

There's guaranteed to be a /c command for toggling it on/off. Don't know it but should be easy to look up.

Ah, yes, I forgot about the second part of the question. It's /c game.map_settings.enemy_expansion.enabled = false . Note that that will disable achievements.

To add to what was said, if it disables achievements there is a (fairly tricky) way to re-enable them but it might be more than what you want to deal with. Just google for "factorio re enable achievements" if you want to go that route. You should find it reasonably easily.

But regardless of what you choose to do... make sure you make an extra save of your game before changing anything. That way if you don't like the results you'll be able to go back.

Thank you guys, I checked it and it was on, and the command successfully turned it off. I'm not really going for achievements, so I just left them off. :D
