Id like to be able to play on Gleba without stealing eggs and also not creating mutant biter spawn points
It is not very humane

perhaps this can be done with settings or a mod if anyone would like to help me.

or it could just change the names of any egg, captive biter spawner or biolabs I dont know the details yet as I havent started Gleba

or perhaps editing my config files to change the names accordingly

this may sound silly but I am sincere

8 millions killed non-human mammals every day by mankind, a considerable part of it just to end in the waste bin, are telling a different story...

It changes the gameplay drastically, because you won't have to ensure that the eggs are not spoiling or get destroyed in time.

You may rename the eggs to a "fruit", but still have to strip off the mob spawning mechanism. There are two eggs BTW: of wrigglers and later biters (Nauvis).

Hey, I was hungry.

Yes, there are several Mods available for “Peaceful” playthroughs. You can try:

• Hard Boiled Gleba makes “Eggs” inherently nonviolent; you can pretend they’re Soy based if it helps.
• Alternative Pentapod and Biter Egg Recipe are simple recipe additions
• No Enemy Spawners goes a step further, though arguably Deleting the entire Species is a bit MORE violent than just farming them for Eggs…

There are many ways to play the game - I hope you can find the right mix of Settings & Mods!
