It’s a productivity boost, not a critical product, so turning biters off doesn’t lock you out of anything critical. And now you have more reason to leave them on.
The thing change a little bit, and you can’t disable everything from biters anymore, but we have no enemies mode, where biter nests still exist, but no biters are spawn. (This is still on top of the peaceful mode, where enemies are spawned, but don’t attack antil provoked).

I always play with biters, so it doesn’t affect me.
But I still think people not playing with biters should get to experience the full game.
I guess a mod will fix it, if the devs dont
