refers to the guide here for more details.

Saw this guide and still can't get it to work. Window + R on desktop or in game does nothing, the appdata file is not accessible. I've changed all permissions to the steam file as well. Windows 10 if that makes a difference.

Your problem is not on the game, Win+R open the run command dialog box in windows.
Im on windows 10 too, it dont make a different,your problems is on how you install the games. if you still cant find it, its beyond the context here, you need a windows expert.

%appdata% are variables pointer to the actual file location and many people install windows differently.
On the default location, you can also try this on file explorer.
C:\Users\"your windows username or login name"\AppData\Roaming\Stranded - Alien Dawn

Open any file folder window. Look up for the address bar of your folder, and instead, enter in "%Appdata%". You will automatically be redirected to your "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\" folder.

There you can find th LocalStorage.lua file in the Stranded - Alien Dawn folder.
Open your file and add Platform.cheats = true in the first place. Enter. Eventually add Platform.developer = true. Enter. So return { should be on the 2nd line (or 3rd if you addd the dev option line). Save and exit.
Then right click LocalStorage.lua and go to properties. Below your Properties activates the READ ONLY mode so the game wont overwrite it each time it launches. Apply. Mission successful.

Now you can launch SAD and load any save or go new game and activate the cheats window by pressing ctrl+c, ~, ², `, 7 or another key depending your keyboard region. You'll have to find out the usual key of your region. It's often used in games and will always be the same (like in NeverwinterNights for the old schoolers). Some regions require an altgr (or ctrl+alt) combinaison.

so the first 2 times i used it the kill all aggressive creatures code worked. now it dosnt. anyone know why?

[~r~Gamestupid]

Can anybody help me? I do everything to activate the dev console, change .lua file to read only. And for some reason it always has a new .Lua file in the folder anyway.

Steam has done something to keep the LocalStorage.lua from being modified any other way around this??

Steam hasn't done anything. The Devs removed the ability to cheat through this method. They suck.

Its beyond disappointing to have a game with such great potential get ruined by poor communication from the creators.

Correct

[MrPrez]

Yep they pulled the feature without any warning or comment. Still have not acknowledged this here, on their own forums, and even on their own discord. They are ignoring any threads that aren't absolutely glowing praise of their half finished game. This whole situation is super S.A.D.

[BurningTofu]

well crap, they changed it on the game so this doesn't work anymore. I was developing a mod for it and I need this cheat mode to test them out. Have they said anything about it about returning the option? I don't have the energy to creating a mod myself to reactive this feature.

[MrPrez]

Hey I'm in the exact same boat, I have designed a few late game mods -- but I am not going to grind the game over and over again just to test them properly. Not only have they completely ignored this in a dozen threads - they ignored direct questions on their own discord.

What a shame they don't give a crap about the players. I will find another game to flex my modding skills instead.

Annoying. Severe Cold snap combined with an overwhelming attack ended my run-through. I wasn't enjoying the game enough to start a fresh run-through, but I was willing to use some console commands to continue on.

If you start the Mod Editor you can load any game and keep the Mod Editor menu with you, it has some cheats.
