The following questions are only for Single Player in Survival, no server play or MP whatsoever. I often need to restart a game with the same seed to apply updates or even to revert some messing situations. I know that I can reset entire playfields with console commands, but what I would like to do is: a) - I have defeated a number of POIs from the zyrax on my planet and the moon; - Then, I have started a new game with the same seed, respawned my bases, vehicles etc. - Now I want to change those POIs which I have defeated before to have a defeated status. These POIs are NOT part of a scenario story, but simple zyrax POIs that you find on the starter planet. Is this last point possible at all and with console commands? b) For resetting story POIs: The simplest way is to simply skip the storylines in the PDA menu, but let's say I've done all up to chapter 4; is it possible to batch-skip everything up to chapter 4? Thank you,
You can remove a POI entirely with the destroy command. To get the ID of a structure, use the di command and look at it, or use the ents command. Then to destroy it type into the console: destroy xxxx, where xxxx is the structure ID. Example: destroy 1040 But this completely removes the entire structure. If you want to instead remove it's core, you could try this: replaceblocks xxxx CoreNPC 0 This will remove its core.
Thank you ravien, the core command will be useful for me, it allows me to keep the structure but most likely make it non-aggressive. I have edited my post with a b) point, thank you if you read it
I also think that I can destroy the POI like you say, and then respawn the corrisponding structure located in the Content folder, this should make it neutral at least, or even with a core of mine like it was after defeat.
