Linux Headless Server no aliens

[yoder1100]

Ok... I must be missing something completely obvious but I cannot for the life of me get aliens to spawn on the MP worlds I've created. I use the default ./factorio --create map and then scroll through settings upon settings and can't find anything that would tell me what mode it is in. Used the console command /c game.player.surface.peaceful_mode=false but that just kicks out errors at me (Cannot execute command.)

I would think by default aliens would just spawn but not sure at this point.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Are you sure they aren't spawning? Sometimes it's hard to tell when you first login to a new map whether they are there or not. Sounds like you're starting your server correctly, but without Radar set up or any pollution being generated you might have to explore a bit before you encounter any aliens.
