You can change some ini files. During my playthrough I gave myself more starting money and a more generous bonus from countries because I was tired of being poor.

Xenonauts is really easy to manipulate with Cheat Engine. "Modded" the money and different Alien items like alloys, all in just two searches.

hey this seems like a good place to ask... i have tried editing the files but none of the changes i have made seem to be taking. i am running the community mod and have tried running it a few different ways. i am using notepad++ to edit the files

cheat engine is out of the question as my fire wall is supper aggressive about deleting it as soon as it is downloaded and it doesn't like me putting in an exception. i'll use it as a last resort but at the moment i'm tying alternatives if possible

Did you edit the right files? It's been a while, but I seem to remember there were multiple versions of them, possibly in different folders, and you have to find the right ones.

There's a developer mode you can enable. Just keep in mind that you have to research the items before you can use it. You need to modify the gameconfig.xml file. Open with Notepad or something like that. You'll find it in Steamapps\Common\Xenonauts\Assets\. Look for
<!-- ITEM DEBUG MODE -->
<debugItems value="False" comment="When true, the player can increase item stocks at the store." />

Below that is this:

<!-- INSTANT CONSTRUCTION HACK -->
<oneDayHack value="false" comment="When true, all researches and manufactures takes only one day." />

I use this mostly to test the weapons before I spend my valuable resources building them and waiting for an alien ship to arrive. If you're playing a modded game, check the Mods folder (Steamapps\Common\Xenonauts\Assets\Mods\<Mod name here>) as it may have it's own config file.
