Thanks for this mod! Really helpful to alter existing games.
Also about peaceful mode - enabling it will not make biters attack right away. You have to kill all biters and respawn them to become agressive. All existing biters will retain peaceful flag. All newly generated ones will have new setting on them. This is why Peaceful Mode mod has a button to kill all biters.
Also I don't know if at all possible - but maybe you could also alter resource generator settings? So that newly discovered areas would apply the settings
