Cheat Engine is a program that uses cheat tables for indiviual games.

It's literally called "Cheat Engine" and the author has made some shady choices with it. Borderline malware in the installer, and you can't opt out of it. I suggest starting a game, saving it and editing your save files. Money is pretty much the only cheat you need anyway.

Easiest way to cheat I find, is start a game, save, close SD2, then find and edit the save with notepad++

It looks like the game has changed where it saves things now, I just installed SD2, started a game, saved a game as "cheat"
My cheat file is located here - C:\Users\Adam\AppData\LocalLow\Zero Sum Games\StarDrive 2\SavedGames\cheat.xml
If you edit the file in notepad++, you can give yourself lots of stuff, for instance, Earth has the following entries:
<planetType>Terran</planetType>
and further down:
<size>Medium</size>
<gravity>Normal</gravity>
<richness>Abundant</richness>
You could change the size to Huge and the planet type to Gaia, which is the best planet type
I think Abundant is the highest in terms of richness (I could be wrong), there's also "UltraRich" which might be higher.
I'm not sure of the best way to increase command points, I suppose one option is to edit the files in the Stardrive 2 directory under steam to give bonuses or increase bonuses to buildings or space stations.
My steam directory for SD2 is - D:\steam\steamapps\common\StarDrive 2
It'll probably be something like c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\stardrive 2 for you.
The basic starbase entry in Buildings.xml has this for instance:

<Building>
<!--this is a special building with hardcoded properties -->
<UID>Starbase</UID>
<Cost>300</Cost>
<Maintenance>2</Maintenance>
<CommandPointsAdded>2</CommandPointsAdded>
</Building>
