I learned about this game just now with the 1.0 release, will probably get it after I read few more reviews so I know more about what to expect. I didn't immediately find out if I can avoid combat entirely, for example if there'd be customisable sandbox mode which I didn't see mention of just yet. This game has existed for a while and there's lot to find out.
I'd like to just build and gather but I think I can deal with some adventure if necessary.
It looks cute and system requirements certainly aren't too demanding.
Fired it up and checked for you. You can edit the difficulty to turn off individual enemy factions (including environmental hazards such as solar flares) and thus can disable all enemies altogether.
Thank you very much! I didn't manage to find time for games quite yet but I will get to it in couple of days surely.
If it turns out Space Haven doesn't have a peaceful option (I believe they don't really support mods either), check out Stardeus.
You can definitely get Stardeus to be peaceful or with limited combat. I have about 200 hours in Stardeus and I like how you can build out enormous spaceships (the spaceship map size seems a lot bigger than in Space Haven).
I do admit that Space Haven has nicer graphics.
I also play with almost no combat, as I treat Stardeus as more of a economic strategy and building game (e.g. highly efficient designs that also are aesthetically pleasing and not just a rectangle).
I am also actually curious about your question.
I will look at Stardeus too. Thanks! Maybe I'll get Space Haven soon and keep following Stardeus for a while since they are currently redoing the UI. I might take a look at Stardeus demo since they seem to have one.
