Save editing / cheats

[H3792]

is there any way to edit a save or cheat in money?

Why do you want to cheat?

[H3792]

To learn, not all that good at the finance side of things so i want to first focus on making tanks, then in later games focus more on being profitable

You wont learn by trying to cheat the game, you learn by making mistakes, see what went wrong then do something different next time. As Einstein once said "The definition of stupid, is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results" best way to learn is start the game on a low difficulty and pay attention to everything that happens, then increase the difficulty as you get better

H3792,

There was a YouTube about how to use cheat engine in the game...

IIRC the author changed the number to tanks being created... A base model, Tier I with nothing special...

Then he changed the number created from 10 to 9999, and poof he had more tanks than he could ever sell...

He then proceeded to recycle all but 40, and sold the excess materials to fund his game.

His commentary stated this way he had all the materials he needed for future play without waiting for arrivals and plenty of money.

He was clear about one thing, that the tank model showed only 10 created, and he sold some of that 40 he kept.
Created a weird accounting imbalance, kind of like US Government finance accounting! LOL

You wouldn't happen to have a link to the video?

that is the point.
i wish to learn the game, but my runs end before i can learn even on the easiest difficulty. Is it too much to ask for a crutch to learn with before doing legit runs?

If your are struggling on the easiest difficulty then it's a you problem not the game problem

Hi H3792!

Currently we do not have "cheats", sorry :)
If you run in troubles, I would recommend either doing a Tutorial or watching some Ytube videos about the game. There is plenty at the moment, latest series done by Stealth17.

We have much work left to make various aspects of the game more transparent, true, but if you spend some time learning the game, it will most likely pay off :)

Anyway, do not hesitate to ask here or on our Discord. Our community is very helpful

H3792,

The Youtuber was German, and I spent about an hour replaying and translating with my poor high school German language classes.

As far as I remember him saying, he started by designing a base model tank.
He used Exact Value and 4 byte
As soon as he had finished making 1 tank he started that search.
After 3 he improved his search, rinse repeat until he finish the 10 tank construction.
By then he had filtered to 6 choices.
At which point he recycled 1 tank, filtered to 1 location.
He then changed that number to 9999
Then as mentioned, he recycled to 40 tanks
Had a huge pile of resources, which he sold for cash
Keeping enough resources so he never had to buy or wait for more

He still had the Constructed versus Sold accounting, so if that's registered in your final score then your cheating WILL BE RECORDED.

Good luck

NOTE>>> The above is informational, not advocacy!
Personally I have found this game runs in a razor's edge towards bankruptcy.
Once you've gotten past that initial thin line, then it's resource & time management.

The money value can be located as a 4byte value using cheat engine. You just need to account for the fact that you can't see exact number and need to use the scan type "value between".

Alternately, there is a good steam guide that can help you improve.

Just look at the section "What to do first in game"

Just a opinion, a money cheat could be a fun way for people to goof off and just go wild without worrying about anything. I would not go as far as installing something to do it. I think single player games with cheat codes tend to be pretty appealing and make me want to spend more time in them. If the developers add a way it would be kinda neat! that being said i can see it from both camps. I do wish more single player games had more cheat codes. Makes me think of the old golden eye games with their big head cheats or the old gta with their money cheats. It just adds kinda more fun ways to play.

I just use chatgpt or another AI. Here's my workflow: Upload a save file, ask the AI to decompress the file into human readable format. Once that is done, ask the Ai to give you the decompressed file for you to edit. Download, edit the file in notepad++. Upload the edited file back into the same AI conversation, ask the AI to re-compress it back into a game readable format. Download the new save file, put it in the save folder, load the save and it should all be good.

Cheating for a purely singleplayer, offline game, is the only time I consider cheating acceptable. Don't let certain someones tell you otherwise, including the game devs.
