I’m one of the persons who likes to play factorio without the aliens and the pressure that comes with them. I’ve been drooling at the weekly blog entries showing the coming factorio 2 and have wondered if it’s going to be possible to play without the aliens. I haven’t seen mention of whether they will be required other than I seem to recall they were mentioned on one of the new planets. Does anyone know if the peaceful player will be able to exist in the new game?

Thanks! May your factory continue to grow!
