Spawning an item without mods via save file editing.
Many people have lost a Warden's key, so did I. There are mods to spawn items but I am not really comfortable replacing game code with stuff I found on the Internet, so I found this alternate method. It is more cumbersome but doesn't require any mods.

  1. Have some cheap items in your inventory (these will be replaced)
  2. Save and exit the game.
  3. Go to "%userprofile%\appdata\locallow\MijuGames\Planet Crafter"
  4. Open your save file in an editor that can handle larger files, say, Notepad++
  5. Find the player entry, (you can search for »player«), it will look like this:
    {"id":76561198094273081,"name":"moira.lachesis","inventoryId":3,"equipmentId":4,"playerPosition":"1141.545,36.31016,615.1289","playerRotation":"0,-0.9997581,0,0.02199496","playerGaugeOxygen":370.0,"playerGaugeThirst":96.307861328125,"playerGaugeHealth":69.09732818603516,"host":true}
  6. Take note of the player inventory Id:
    "inventoryId":3,
  7. Find the player inventory entry, e.g. you can search for »"id":3,« It will look like this:
    {"id":3,"woIds":"206830236,203416763,207494580,204380126,208625043,203230083","size":35}|
  8. The numbers after "woIds" are the items of your inventory (in order). Pick one to replace and find its entry, e.g. in this example you could search for »"id":206830236,« It will look like this:
    {"id":206830236,"gId":"Aluminium","liId":0,"liGrps":"","pos":"0,0,0","rot":"0,0,0,0","wear":0,"pnls":"","color":"","text":"","grwth":0}|
  9. Most of the properties should be 0 as this object is not in the 3D world. Take note of the "gId", in this case it is
    "gId":"Aluminium",
  10. Replace it with the item you want. If you don't know the correct name, you can search the gId's of the other entries, and you will likely find it. It will look like this:
    {"id":206830236,"gId":"WardenKey","liId":0,"liGrps":"","pos":"0,0,0","rot":"0,0,0,0","wear":0,"pnls":"","color":"","text":"","grwth":0}|
  11. Find the save description entry. You can search for »saveDisplayName« It will look like this:
    {"saveDisplayName":"Chill1","planetId":"Prime","unlockedSpaceTrading":false,"unlockedOreExtrators":false,"unlockedTeleporters":false,"unlockedDrones":true,"unlockedAutocrafter":true,"unlockedEverything":false,"freeCraft":false,"randomizeMineables":false,"modifierTerraformationPace":1.0,"modifierPowerConsumption":1.0,"modifierGaugeDrain":1.0,"modifierMeteoOccurence":1.0,"modifierMultiplayerTerraformationFactor":0.5,"mode":"Custom","dyingConsequencesLabel":"NoConsequences","startLocationLabel":"Standard","worldSeed":779496281,"hasPlayedIntro":true,"gameStartLocation":"Standard"}
  12. Change the display name to something you can recognize. For instance, like this:
    {"saveDisplayName":"Chill2","planetId":"Prime","unlockedSpaceTrading":false,"unlockedOreExtrators":false,"unlockedTeleporters":false,"unlockedDrones":true,"unlockedAutocrafter":true,"unlockedEverything":false,"freeCraft":false,"randomizeMineables":false,"modifierTerraformationPace":1.0,"modifierPowerConsumption":1.0,"modifierGaugeDrain":1.0,"modifierMeteoOccurence":1.0,"modifierMultiplayerTerraformationFactor":0.5,"mode":"Custom","dyingConsequencesLabel":"NoConsequences","startLocationLabel":"Standard","worldSeed":779496281,"hasPlayedIntro":true,"gameStartLocation":"Standard"}
  13. Save the file under a new name in the same folder.
  14. Launch the game and load the new save.
