cheating how?

[Dutchgamer1982]

anybody here experience with cheat engine?

-tried using cheat engine to give myself some extra coin/items (mostly some herbs to heal health & some coin to cover travel expenses, as paying 500 coin for a single trip, so 1000 back and forth when all you have is 1800.. is just to costly...

having a handfull of herbs to start each day at full health even when sleeping near a fire, and some coin to not have to walk everywhere, increases game enjoyment..

but I have so far not been able to use either cheat engine, or altering save game..

-cheat engine just don't seem to find the values (unless someone knows the settings I should use)
-I have not found a trainer yet that does not require to subscribe to some service I not want before I can even test if it works
-save game editing, only resulted in the game crashing once you tried launching that save game.

any hints in this regard are welcome.

Don't ask the community how the game is cheating. Ask yourself if it pays for you to cheat. This game is designed to punish those who try using third party cheats or trainers, either monetarily or by causing the cheat / trainer to fail. Sometimes both.

1 I ask how to cheat, not for offtopic judgement or debate on the morality of cheating.
keep it on topic.

2 this is a single player game and I should be free to play it how I like it and to force otherwise is wrong.

While we agree that you cheating in your SP game does not impact others and will not hunt you down for it, we have to highly recommend you to not use cheats, modifications or file edits, and to be especially careful when it comes to third party programs.

We would also ask you to please let us know if you used any of the above when reporting bugs or technical issues. We will still try our best to help you, but it really helps to know beforehand.

And finally, please do not discuss these topics in detail on Steam, as it is against the terms of service. While I can look away, The Steam bots and mods will not and they can be quite strict.

it is not against the steam rules to cheat, at all. Nor is it against steams terms of service to discuss cheating.

-> it is only against the steam rules to cheat in MMO's & certain RANKED multiplayer games
non of these classifications fit here,
**it states clearly in the VAC ban reasons "against other players"
-this automaticly excludes all single player games
**it than proceeds with giving a list of games where VAC bans apply for.. logically this game aint in that list.

Most of these type of single player games have build in console commands, or even build in cheatcodes that one can enter.
-> it is a flaw this game is not designed with those options from the ground.. and totally legal to discuss how to add this missing feature.

from other forums.. I see you devs don't like people cheating.. removing even the barebone console options once excisting for this game on purpose, as well as actively adding anti-cheat features. : I suggest you stop being a spoilsport. let people play how THEY want.

Now : if anybody please wants to be so kind as to give the hint what settings on cheatengine to use to find the values to edit, or how to edit the cheatgames properly without the game crashing when you try to do that.. that be great!)

The problem with them is that they can (and eventually will) really mess up your savegame when a next game update comes in. We've had people in the past reporting weird issues, that the devs/bughunters spent quite some of their time trying to figure out, only to find out it was caused by editing the save files with cheat engines.

I know of at least one editor that used to be out there, that won't work anymore, because the structure of the save files has changed a lot with recent updates and a lot of the values that used to exist, are not there anymore for you to edit.
"Blank" old savegames edited like that are still out there, and you can find them on nexus mods, but keep in mind that they tend to cause problems and weird bugs with the current version of the game.
I personally wouldn't risk it if you plan to get attached to your playthrough.

The safest option would be if you manage to get a savegame from someone that played through the game normally with Racimir, and then when switched to the 18 year old heir, broke down all the structures again and kicked all villagers out.
That way you have some sort of 'fresh' slate to play as a sandbox with all quests already done, all blueprints unlocked and a lot of material and gold to 'start' with.
I'm planning to make a savegame like that, but that will take a lot of time since i play on 30 day seasons and my heir is only a toddler atm, so you shouldn't wait for it. :-)

Make sure you also check out the ingame customizations (can also be changed in existing games) in regards to have unlimited health and carry weight ant the likes. They might help you already to tailor the game more to your liking.

I'm sorry, but it seems that I have to lock your topic, please do not open one of the same again.

Have a wounderful weekend.
