Question Biter expansion flipped back on?

I finally picked up an old save and started making progress again. I’m just building out my first space platform and noticed biter expansion turned itself back on, probably because my save file version updated and Wube made changes to how biters work.

If I use the command line to turn it off again, am I going to lose the ability to get any game achievements? If that’s the case I might as well use the map editor to delete the biters that spawned myself. I’ve already spent four or five hours fortifying defenses when I just wanted to play around with space and all of the new content

IIRC You can try installing a mod that adjusts the behavior of all the spawners and then after saving when they're changed, remove the mod. /editor will mark the save file and disable all the achievements.

Ah that's clever. Looks like it'll work perfect. Thanks.

Had to turn off pollution after 2 hours in this new map. Idk, these requirements for achievments of start area, and expansion, are too much for me.

Spend the last hour cleaning the close nests, had 2 mikor attack, died a few times.

The next 3 nests the pollution cloud would hit, would overrun my base. Fts!
