Factorio 2 for the peaceful player (self.factorio)

I'm one of the persons who likes to play factorio without the aliens and the pressure that comes with them. I've been drooling at the weekly blog entries showing the coming factorio 2 and have wondered if it's going to be possible to play without the aliens. I haven't seen mention of whether they will be required other than I seem to recall they were mentioned on one of the new planets. Does anyone know if the peaceful player will be able to exist in the new game?

Thanks! May your factory continue to grow!

Yes, it was a joke. That said:

Bitters need constant attention and prevention.

In vanilla with standard settings, after a certain point, they really don't, they just become another thing to automate. Once you have good defenses set up and enough artillery canons built (or artillery train scheduled), you don't need to pay attention to biters anymore.

True but that's more talking about late game and with players skilled enough to not do a shitty perimeter.
