How to stop constant pirate raids in Age of Water?

In Age of Water: The First Voyage, relentless pirate attacks can drain your resources and ruin the immersion of exploration. The Less Attacks By Pirates modifier directly addresses this frustration by significantly reducing the spawn rate and aggression of enemy vessels. Instead of constantly repairing damage and restocking ammunition after every skirmish, you can focus on what truly matters: discovering new islands, trading valuable goods, and upgrading your ship. This change transforms the gameplay loop from a stressful survival struggle into a strategic adventure. You gain control over your journey, allowing for smoother navigation and faster progression through the story. By minimizing unnecessary combat interruptions, you preserve your hull integrity and crew morale. This empowers you to tackle larger challenges with confidence, making every voyage feel rewarding rather than exhausting. Enjoy a balanced experience where combat remains exciting but no longer overwhelming, ensuring you spend more time sailing and less time sinking.
