Edit Save file to infinitive resources

[The President]

I have a great set up, but my resources are depleting. I have a 40h job and I study. I do not want to explore the galaxy, I just want to get perfection. Please, if you know how to edit a save file, answer me.

Kind regards!

With the Exploration Tech, you don't need to 'explore', you can literally just pick a system to see with the resources you need and pick the planet you want without leaving your home system. This will allow you to decide where to place your next operations before leaving home.

The way resources work, the farther a star is from the center of the map (your home system), the more resources the planets orbiting will have. Where a planet in your home system will have a couple hundred thousand of each resource - that same planet towards the edge of the map will have 100's of MILLIONS of each resource. With stars/planets anywhere between that distance containing comensurate amounts of resources. Ideally, you'd only need to pick a system or two out towards the edge of the map once, then with enough Vein Utilization (VU) upgrades, you'll never need to build more again.
(This is why game seeds with Neutron stars and Black holes out toward the edge of the map are so much better than game seeds where they are instead close to the home system)

You said you have a good setup already... if you don't want to expand your setup and only need additional resources, then you can just set up 'mining colonies' on those distant planets to ship the raw resources back home using several ILS. It takes very little time to set up properly, and doesn't require 'exploring'. With the correct tech upgrades you can see all the stats/resources for every star system/planet without ever leaving home.

Also, you can use the same seed of your current game, to create a regular game with naturally occurring infinite resources.

When you pause the game, the black screen shows your seed and current basic game settings you chose when you first started the new game.

Cluster <8 digit seed> <2 digit planet count> A##

8 Digit Seed: Randomly selected or manually entered numbers from 00000000 to 99999999

2 Digit planet count: 32 to 64 in an unmodded game

'A##': 'A' followed by a 2 digit resource multiplier 0.1x (01) 0.5x (05) 0.8x (08) 1.0x (10) 1.5x (15) 2.0x (20) 3.0x (30) 5.0x (50) 8.0x (80) or Infinite (99)

With the blueprint system in place, you can literally copy an entire planet, creating a blueprint, then paste it down in another game with the same or different settings. (Just remember that Blueprint tech is not unlimited size at the beginning of the game, so planet-wide pasting might not immediately be available, so plan carefully if you go that route.)

No need to edit the save file. There are mods that turn resources infinite. And if you still want achievements while using mods there is even a mod for that too.

* NOTE *: This is a single player game. Don't let anyone gatekeep you into not enjoying the game however you wish to enjoy it!

1: Download and install 2modman[dsp.thunderstore.io].

2: Launch r2modman.

3: Navigate to both DSP Infinite Resource Nodes[dsp.thunderstore.io] & Enable Achievements[dsp.thunderstore.io] and click the "Install with Mod Manager" button on both pages.

4: Next. In the r2modman window click "Start modded' in the top left corner. You will be required to launch DSP via r2modman anytime you want to use mods that were installed using r2modman.

5: Enjoy infinite resources and achievements.

Does the 'DSP infinite resource nodes' mod work with already depleted resource nodes? In other words will it restore them even when they were already depleted to 0 resources.

No it doesn't even set them infinite really, it just sets the amount mined to 0 so the amount in the node doesn't ever drop. It doesn't restore or change the amounts in the nodes at all.

OP you will probably want to at least head out to the black hole/neutron star for unipolar magnets to make particle containers easier to make, also good for the mark 2 miners. And honestly if you're gonna do that you may as well drop some mark 2 miners on iron, copper, stone and titanium etc along the way and that'd solve your resource issues.

Failing that as said above you can use a mod or you can start a new game in the same seed with infinite resources or on creative mode.
