Option to play with no factions?

[Gizuria]

If no-one has asked for this already, I'd be surprised but I can't find any posts suggesting this.

I'd like to be able to play a game without any other factions on the map other than the wildlife. The reason is because I'd like to experiment and explore how all the systems work in different environments without interference from AI factions or Raiders, Slavers etc.

Perhaps add a History option where you are alone on the planet except for wildlife?

There isn't an explicit option, but there is a workaround to get you kinda close to it! During worldgen, on the History Class screen, if you select Haven of Calm, Robinson Crusoe and Outpost, you're going to get a mostly peaceful, sparsely populated world with only minor regimes. This should generate no mutant, slaver or nomad regimes, but in the two playthroughs I've done, I still encountered an arachnid and an AI territory in one of them.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.
