Fast way to get credits or cheat

[Lt. Col. John Sheppard]

Im looking for either a very fast way to get to the Integer limit or a way to manipulate the save file. Its my last missing achievment and I really dont want to run the game in Background 24/7 without playing.

The save file is plain text. Look for the key "PlayerGarden.instance.credits", I am pretty sure that's where your current credits are saved. Change it to 2147483646. That is one less than the limit, so there won't be any weird errors in case the game can't handle overflows.

Thank you, this worked.

Glad to help! No shame in cheating a poorly thought-out achievement. Having a timewalled achievement that requires the game to just run idle for days is ... I'm not a fan of it.

My apologies, I forgot to mention the path. Here you go:

%appdata%\..\LocalLow\DAVII PROJECTS\Outpath

Be sure to copy exactly.

Now mind you, I played this game very, very, casual with the intentions of just a few hours each day as I took much longer to complete the game cause I didn't want to no life it to complete everything in less than 15 hours like I've done with other games similar. I had the game running in the background for a total of 18 hours on top of my completion game play, but I had a little over 50 markets running in the background surrounded by clickers generating me credits along with all the void vacuums giving me all the mats, took awhile to get that integer achievement though. I mean I don't blame anyone at all for modifying their game file to get that achievement or any credits early on, it's kind of an absurd achievement come to think of it.

I understand it was to pay homage to a player that had done it through the journey part legit. A shout out through the credits could have easily paid homage without subjecting the player base to a potential "no life" hidden achievement to be honest. I'm almost certain that if nobody was able to surpass this by changing their save file, a majority of the player base would had easily quit with one achievement not earned and nobody would had even bat an eyelash over it. Because once you get everything unlocked, built, and you complete the circle.. currently, there really isn't a reason to keep playing unless your curiosity turns into an mind numbing obsession and now you just want to complete everything just because you can.

I was actually curious to see how long it would take to achieve the "hidden" integer achievement legit, if it was even possible without manually changing the save file. If I had to do it again, I'd most definitely modify the game just to not have to run in the background for a few days just to try to get the full achievement completion.

It's 100% doable, and I have. However, would I intentionally do it all over again? Hell no. The only way I could see this integer achievement in the future being an achievement worth getting would be if once you've completed the game 100%, you would have an option to "ascend" keeping your current credits and gear and starting over with harder earned recipes and research, while gaining much more credits from things you've destroyed and built. I believe that would be the only plausible way to make that achievement worth achieving... legit that is.

I can't find these folders and I checked through all of the game files. Any tips?

I searched a lot on the internet, researching the achievement and how to get credits quickly.
I left the game AFK overnight, for approximately 8 hours, and when I woke up, I already had the achievement.
The secret to getting it legally: many markets around 4 red clickers/clickersV2. The markets can be stacked well using the ALT key when you are going to place them if you see that you cannot fit them correctly. You can also see the range of the clickers to see how far they reach.
To get a lot of leather, bricks, and wood: store everything in boxes except 5 items, remove the fish traps because they automatically give you items. On the 5th island, the one before going to Heaven that has snow, wait for boxes to appear in the sea. To hear if they appear, lower the music and ambient sound. This way, you can copy the necessary items to create many markets.
I leave 2 screenshots, one from the beginning, another from how I finished my credit farm.

Credit farm, 7x7 base floor, 4 clickers V2 (red clickers), pillars to have a reference of the center and then delete

PostData: Markets have a maximum money limit, I think 45k, with 4 clickers they never reach the limit
PostScript 2: Put a self-feeding V2 with lots of greed potions (5% more credits)
