Could you possibly remove the hard lock on Erimos Prime to get to Volanus/Fulgora in the tech tree?

I am not sure if my all planets mods + toxic/explosive/armored btiters + some QoL mods are affecting the planet or I just suck, but after landing here for the first time, I was getting mobbed by bugs too frequently and by too many increasing numbers. I barely had 2 assemblers in 45min, slowly making yellow clips for ammo (have to make empty clips 1st) + hand crafting to keep up. Either the difficulty is set too high for the beginning rounds, (cuz they ultimately won) and I cannot progress the game being forced to "play" this world that difficulty seems to be ramping up too fast. (After you "lose" the difficulty stays the same so I cant go back and try again)

I'll try the world again, but if I can't do it, I may be forced to remove the mod just so I can progress :( Thanks!
