Update 8 brought yet another option that completely removes the spiders from the game (they “always” had the arachnophobia mode that replaces the scary spiders by scary kittens, but now they have this one that goes farther, too).
So if you don’t want to die, use godmode. If you don’t want to die from creatures attacking you unprepared, use retaliate mode for creature hostility. If you don’t want to die from creatures at all (even when you started the fight), use passive mode. If you are okay with creatures attacking or fighting back, but not with spiders doing so, remove the spiders.

So who really thinks that dying in Satisfactory is an issue, definitly would find a setting to solve this issue.
