Any Way to Give yourself Coins? This can be deleted as there's no issue.

[UnableRogue]

EDIT: I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG. This was all my fault. No bug just user error.
My game bugged and made me lose over 8000 coins. I have a previous save when I still had them but that was hours ago and I have done a lot of work during that time so I'm not eager to lose all that progress. Is there any way to cheat and give yourself coins?

Save game edit would be the easiest.

Depending on how much you have already, if number of digits in the value of what you currently have is enough to add to it 8000 without changing the number of digits in that number, simply edit the save in a hex editor, otherwise drop/put in storage some part of the money, save, edit the save to increase both of the values so the sum is 1 order of magnitude higher and if needed repeat until the sum is at least 1000, so you can change/add to it the missing 8000. The separate inventory or dropped items entries are coded as text, so it's quite easy to find itt in the save file.

Thank you so much for your help but I am too dumb to understand what you mean. I was hoping that I could edit the save file but I have no idea how to use a hex editor.

My question is how did your game "bug"?

As said in the bug section; coins don't just disappear, so you must have done something.

Anyway, there is no simple way to give yourself 8000 coins unless using a hex editor on the savegame. If you can find one that still works on the new savegames that is.

Which is not recommended cause it can cause all sort of issues for your save, some are not instantly noticeable but only much later on when a new patch comes out.
So if you ever have weird issues, and have used an editor on your savegame, make sure to mention it so the devs/bughunters know in what direction to look.

cheating/altering savegame discussions. in this forum will be closed down.

but 8000 coins is nothing.

3 best ways to earn money :

early game : pickup stones & sticks, craft those into stone knifes and sell then to vendors 20 to 32 coins each.

midgame : have villagers gather logs and craft them yourself into 1 log = 2 planks and than each plank into 10 wooden vials sell those to vendors.
-
20 wooden vials sell 30 to 48 coins.

late game :
have 2 hunting huts, each with 4 hunters gathering feathers, have 3 marketstalls each with 1 vendor selling feathers

If need be you can turn wood/food/water consumption for your villagers and yourself off, give yourself unlimited carry capacity, turn taxes to 0%
and give yourself the ability to craft a whole stack as fast as 1 item.
-
if need be set season lenght also to 30 days.. each ingame day takes about 30 min .. hire those villagers as lumberjacks and go to sleep.. wake up with tons of logs/coins.

that will help you recoup your loss a bit faster perhaps and get you going again.

I understand that about cheating but in context this is not about being lazy and wanting something for nothing. I was wanting to recuperate losses caused by a potential bug.
8000 coins is not 'nothing'. I have not played the game for that long and represents all I have. Thank you for the tips for money making though. :)

My question is how did your game "bug"?

It made me toss most of my coins on the ground while I was tossing firewood on the ground.
When I originally posted this problem I didn't realise the game made me do that so even though it didn't 'steal' my money it did make me throw it which is a bug in my eyes.

It made you? Sounds like to me you just fat fingered a button by accident. Just admit you made a mistake and stop trying to blame the game.

Then you tell me how I did it when the coins are not located right beside the firewood? How could fat fingers do that? Also how could it do it without my knowledge?

I was wrong. It was my mistake. You made me rethink what I did and the coins where right beside the firewood. Mystery solved.

In such case they should be on ground where you dropped them (or in water if they rolled down into it).

[Goldie]

I'm not positive about coins, but try using Inspection Mode (Alt key) when looking in the place you dropped the logs.

It's already been resolved. There was no bug, coins were found, no exploits were needed.
