Behold the first person to mod Steamworld and do the craziest ♥♥♥♥ with it. If ya know how to mod TF2, this works similary, but no custom folder, once the mod is made, there's no going back unless you have a spare vanilla.

I managed to increase the light radius to full screen and have unlimited light, however I can't have unlimited water, I don't know why, can someone help me?

If you want to play with the two hacks, follow these instructions:

Go to Steamwork Dig install folder -> BundlePC -> Definitions

Open "actors.xml" file with an editor (wordpad, notepad works)

here's a screenshot taken from the file opened with google chrome (because in better displayed than in wordpad or notepad)

As you can see, In the list of actors, find the one named player and...

*For fullscreen light radius, edit the scale of light to a high number (doesn't have to be 30)

*For unlimited light, edit "LightTime" to a high number

(you can't edit in google chrome, I used wordpad, to easily find the values to edit, use the "find" function)

now for unlimited water, I tried editing the "Water" value, it increases the maximum amount of water you can carry but it is still limited/consumed

I also tried removing the water cost of powers that require it, like the steam jump, I tried editing "DoubleJumpWaterDrain" for it, but no matter what the value it's changed to, it has no effect.

I modded it not enabled a gamebreaking cheat.
