Did this without any cheats or use of debug menu.

Now you get to watch visitors shoot at each other, obviously. It's pretty fun.

I thought I read somewhere that pirates weren't supposed to become friendly, though.

same. i didn't know pirate bands can be bribed. that used to be the case in the previous alphas.. pirate bands are supposed to be always hostile.. also, iirc in previous alphas any faction that has a "hostile" tag can't be bribed.   (i'm not sure about that one though, it's been several alphas since i tried bribing a faction tagged as "hostile")

not bribed, just try being nice to them. i'll leave the discovering up to you.

But yeah you'll still be attacked by mechanoids.
