[@relativityilldescried8481]

I've done a pacifist run myself, and its honestly mostly just boring- I didn't use any mods, it turns out you can get extremely far just cowering inside your granite house, letting the raiders burn all your crops every once in a while, and never sending out caravans with anything not completely expendable lest they get ambushed. you don't need traps or anything, just let every threat tire itself out or fight each other.

Mr Amphibian, you don't need traps or elaborate defenses to play a pacifist lifestyle. Simply build a wall around your colony, then put a stock pile outside of it. So long as the wall holds (make it 3 blocks thick just in case), the raiders will notice the goods and simply take them away. Cheap, non-perishable stuff works best, like steel. Weed would also work for this kind of style, thematically at least.
