More Command Freedom

[NamelessMurder]

It always struck me as weird as why making the game harder in the middle of playing it still disabled achievements. I've spent 60+ hours on a world, and I've lined my wall with double laser turrets, double walled, made sure all my train stops were guarded, and poured in effort to secure my factory. Then I find out my world is on peaceful. I haven't yet gotten all the achievements, like to produce 5k processing units an hour, but I want a hostile world, so I'd be hoping that I could request a change here. So essentially I have a guarded base, and biters won't even attack. I want to use LUA commands to change it, but that will disable my achievement progression.

1) build the ultimate factory on peaceful, with full defense, a ton of dps upgrades from infinite research
2) Switch on "non peaceful" by console command
3) earn mass achievements while nothing can be of any threat
Achievements the easy way

Achievements the easy way

load up a friends map.

/c let's you run any command you want in a touring complete language. It's impossible to judge a command for its "difficulty factor". And as Koub already said. Your example is actually making things easier

That aside if mods are on the table there are several (i think "Change Map Settings" was one of them) that allow you to toggle peaceful mode.

Put your command in a script file with a unique name.
Drop it in the base's migration subfolder.
next time you load, the command will be executed, but since it's a migration, it will be treat like you updated the game and bypass the command given override.
then when you're done delete the migration script.

The fact that anybody with a little knowledge can do either of these things outside of the easier-to-access command interface, is just an argument for allowing it in that interface.

This is implying that the developers don't want modded games to get achievements. I was under the impression that they did.

No. It does not. And infact modded games do not get the same achivements that unmodded games do.

[usafphoenix]

that's not entirely true. modded games do have the same achievements as vanilla (same list as available achievements that is), just....any you get are just listed as achievements gotten with a non-vanilla game. (ie: you got the achievement, but it was on a modded map.)
