It's been a while since I played. I really want to perfect my von neumann factory (http://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/commen ... nd_theory/), but there are lots of things vying for my time right now, and I just can't justify spending hours shotgunning down nests and rocks.

The game already has a "peaceful mode". How hard would it be to add a mode that also:

1) Started the game with the full tech tree unlocked.
2) Started the game with full power armor mk 2 and 200 of each item.
3) Most importantly, spawned the map without trees, rocks, or nests.

I believe the first two can be easily modded (there may even be lua commands for them), but I haven't found any good way to prevent the spawning of trees or rocks.

I have seen a lua command to remove rocks from all discovored chuncks somewhere

Same way you can kill all spawners and there is command to kill all enemies. There is also testmode mod and creativemode mod. They add menu to cheat in any item, infinite power supply, infinite power drain and infinite input/output of any fluid/item.

Thanks Koub!

Will rocks continue to spawn as I explore more area? Will I need to execute this command over and over?

I'm afraid they will : these commands only remove entities around you. But they are quite easy to use.

I know it's a suboptimal, and I'm sure it could be automated so that it runs every time you discover a new chunck, but I don't have enough skills to create such a mod (even if I have the feeling the mod would be really easy to do for one who knows).
