    Would be nice if there was an option to toggle this in the save creation screen.

    Would also be great if spawned drones from the debug screen in creative had aggresive AI and tried to kill you, while doing damage to your ship. Of course the player him or herself couldnt die as its creative but ship damage would be nice.

    Yes. Right now it's basically impossible to combat test anything you make in creative. You can fly over to a PVP world and shoot your own ships but..

    You can get similar effect by starting a survival game and using godmode + item menu.
    - start survival game
    - console: "gm inv" to put yourself into god mode, and invisible to creatures etc, so they ignore you
    - console: "im" to enable the creative mode 'item menu' (default shorcut key h)
    - console: "sbp" to be able to spawn any blueprint freely, as in creative mode
    If you want to make things aggro you, use "gm fly" instead of "gm inv" to make yourself visible, but still invulnerable.

    You can also use console command "changemode" to turn single player creative game into survival mode, and survival game into creative mode (need to restart the game afterwards for change to take effect).

    1. activate debug menu > console "dm"
    2. ESC > Debug menu (GUI)
    3. Spawn enemies
    4. Activate AI (off by default in creative)

    Wait...does that just give me permission to spawn enemies manually? Or does it spawn Creatures, NPCs, drones, bases, trade stuff, automatically?

    If you changemode, does it stop the automatical spawning of creatures or no?

    If you are playing survival:

    Open the console, type gm, enter, then type im and enter.

    im is "itemmenu" and gm is "godmode". Now you are invincible, and you can open the creative menu (look for what key to use in your options). If you want to use the newly added NPCs, humans and aliens, they are in the "devices" tab, page 2 (little arrow on top or bottom).

    If you want to spawn enemies or anything, in the console type dm (and enter). This is the debug menu, which you open with "escape". In it you will see very self-explanatory options to spawn NPCs, and a small button which is the list of NPCs you can spawn. Clik on buttons and names and things will happen.

    If you don't want to be attacked by the creatures you spawned (if enemies, even in godmode) desactive AI in the debug menu. Desactivating AI makes all AI in game to stop whatever it is doing. If you are far from a station and travel there with AI mode "off" there will be no enemies in the station because they did not detect you. Just put back AI mode ON to have enemies spawning automatically in the game, where they usually do.

    If you changemode for creative, then in creative there are no NPCs by default.

    Let me know if it works or not, and if you need more info. Don't panic. ;)

    Is this a question ? God mode deletes nothing, it only makes you invincible and able to travel through geometry. Godmode invisible makes you.... indetectable by enemies, same result as disabling AI in the debug menu.
