Can't Get Rid of Space Monsters When Starting Games

Post by Dereck »

EVERY and I mean EVERY *&^*))& game I've played I selected NO space monsters.

And EVERY and I mean EVERY game HAS space monsters. What is the use of having that damn option if it doesn't work?

How do I play a game WITHOUT the aggravation of stupid space monsters I don't want (and supposidly have the option of NOT having)???????????????

I bought this game about a month ago using digital download so I'm assuming it's the most recent version.

Thanks

I think that you have to take the term "space monsters" as referring very specifically to Giant Kaltors wandering freely in outer space. You can stop the Kaltors appearing at a Frozen gas giant in your home system by unticking the box allowing them at game start. All other monsters are tied specifically to locations, systems, or events, and are not "space" monsters. I am afraid you are stuck with these ones.

There is an option on the first screen BEFORE the Kaltars so there has to be a way.

Is there a damn config file I need to go in and edit?

space monsters



I just did a test setting up a new game with the settings at far left for no creatures..
Went into the editor and searched the systems at random and did not see any.

I think to not see creatures you need to make sure that when you start a new game that you do not have any ticks for enabling story events or anything else on the left of that screen.

If any story event is ticked I believe it will generate space creatures in your game as the creatures are part of the story events and therefore need to be there.

I had no story events ticked, the setting at no space creatures and I spent 20 minutes in the editor looking at random stars and asteroid fields and found no creatures at all.
