Does the death world preset (and death world marathon) have any effect on Gleba or Vulcanus? Or only Nauvis?

[u/ferrofibrous → u/BrennusSokol]

The deathworld preset only modifies sliders for enemies on Nauvis at this time. The preset only affects the slider settings, it has no hidden/background effect beyond those. You can see the actual changes by going to the "Enemies" and "Pollution" tabs and changing the preset between Default and Deathworld.

You can increase the sliders for Gleba to make enemies there more difficult. Large scale pentapod attacks do pose interesting design challenges compared to the usual methods for biters.

No slider settings have any effect on Demolishers (fingers crossed for a territory growth/demolisher repopulation setting in 2.1). Peaceful mode will make buildings not trigger them to attack.

I expect that evolution, pollution, and starting area settings affect Gleba. I might be wrong, but that is my educated guess.

[u/BrennusSokol → u/HeliGungir]

Right. Those are the 3 settings that I assume also affect Gleba but I am not 100% sure...

[u/BrennusSokol → u/ferrofibrous]

Yeah, I have flipped the presets back and forth and can see the three things that change. My question is whether (as HeliGungir said too) evolution, pollution, and starting area settings affect Gleba
