End game crises with console

[LordMagus]

So, really wanted to role play and stretch my playthrough out for 1000 years and be a fallen empire, by wiping the other species out with the unbidden or scourge. The unbidden were taking too long to expand so i wiped them out and spawned the scourge instead. Then I realised that primitive civs moving to FTL would have a hard time colonising due to all the barren planets the scourge would cause, so I'd have to be patient with the unbidden.
Except for some reason, you can apparently only spawn the unbidden and scourge ONCE using the console, which doesn't make much sense as you're using the console.

Console spawn event follows the same rules as in game event sadly. It's possible to mod that out but you need to code in specific wait timers otherwise you end up with an unbidden invasion every other month. (They also fight each other, it gets messy..)

I guess the game just isn't built to support the repeated occurence of an endgame crisis.

Which is sacrilege if I want to roleplay, the galaxy constantly being wiped out in a cycle, except for "The Sentinels".

oh and i only found out recently you can force the 2nd and 3rd waves of unbidden buys verhemont and cant remember the 3rd name by using
event crisis.1010
event crisis.1020

Might just need to remove the global flags:
prethoryn_invasion_happened
extradimensional_invasion_happened

prethoryn_invasion_happened
extradimensional_invasion_happened

Not sure how to do that

Not sure if you can manipulate flags from console but you should be able to remove them by editing the save if you're not doing ironman.
