Is it possible to make something like blockade for attacking passive NPC's? I'm on "7 tier stuff level" and I don't want come back to Non-X sectors to seek Iron for Steel to make NPC spawners.
The idea of some sort of toggle to prevent your weapon from damaging neutral NPCs has been suggested. Turn the toggle off to go all piratey, or keep it on so you don't accidentally kill a villager you're trying to save.
Yep, it's way to hard to save villagers who are getting attacked by creatures. I don't even try to defend them anymore because I don't want the whole town going after me - then I'd have to kill them all instead of saving some of them.
