Time to Turn off The Cheat Codes.

[MycroftCanadaNS]

Hi.

First off, this is the first game I ever used chaet codes on, well I did use cheats code in Doom back on the first day they released it in the 90's.

Anyway, will you be disallowing the use of the cheats codes?

I am unfortunately hooked on using them, and saying "just don't use them" unfortunately will not work.

Anyway, I am asking to save my poor soul from cheating, and turn them off... :)

Learn self-control........

Those are there for the development convinence....not yours.

How about this.....I will build ya a robot (for only the cost of parts) that will flick your nose REALLY hard each time you try to enter subnautica cheat =)

And I can assure you (like 80%ish) that it wont become sentient and try to kill.....

This is a very good question. The cheat codes are there to make life easier for the devs, certainly, and also were there to help players get around some particularly nasty bugs. But I do agree that it can become a bit of a crutch for some players, and I also think it will be pretty weird when we add the big Cyclops if players can just cheat spawn it in.

I'll have to bring this subject up with the rest of the crew.

You are right, the first thing I will do is enter spawn cyclops instead of working for it.

Even though I can say no, often times I look at it as "What The Heck" when I need to go deeper to grab something instead of going through the motions of having to resurface grab more air then head back down.

Thing is I have been playing the game like so many others out there from the very beginning (Pre-Early Access), and while I was testing the game for bugs I neglected to take the long road to search for bugs because I could spawn something in whenever I wanted too, and now I am so dependant on it that it's pretty much hard to stop using it.

Anyway, just hoping there will be no cheat codes soon this way I can play from start to when I die (I play permadeath/hardcore).

Cheers, and thanks for wanting to bring it up.

I think an opt-in launch option would be the best way to solve this, as it forces you to restart the game before turning it on. If there were an ingame option to enable cheats, I know I would be tempted to turn it on whenever I was having trouble.

[MycroftCanadaNS]

I don't know if an opt in option is a god way to do it. It still gives you the option to use it which I know I would if I wanted to achieve something without having to go through the rigmarol.

I say take it out completely.

So you're saying other people's freedoms should be restricted because you lack self-control?

If someone wants to ruin the game by spawning the best stuff right away, that's their prerogative. If a game is single player, customers should have the right the choose.

Absolutely not, if you want to keep the cheats then go ahead. What I am saying is just because it's a choice of freedom, doesn't make it right especially when it will work against what the developers have intended for the game in the first place.

Many games now being produced have entirely stopped allowing for cheat codes to be used because it's works against the enjoyment of the game. Just because it's a right doesn't make it right.

Anyway, doesn't matter really. Once you start using one cheat code, it will lead to people using one more, then another, and before you know it that is all they do.

Many developers have seen the damage cheat codes can do to the overall experience of the game.

Tell ya what, the devs only allow for cheat codes to be used for the experimental version, and omit the console for the public build, this way it's a choice you are looking for.

Later.

Why are you insulting me?

You have insulted me over creating a video on save games, and now this. Surely you must have something better to do.

Im all for an opt in to cheats IF it in no way hinders the devs use of them.

No problem.

I understand. :)

right now the cheat codes are needed, stuff doesnt respawn after you pick it up. so you run out of resources pretty fast, some things are not even in game yet (resources) so you spawn them in, it is obviously not something that is going to be permanent. Its just easier for the devs and players that need it atm with all the bugs ect.

my boxes dissapear everytime i save and leave the game, comebacl and they are gone. So for now thats just a really easy way to get your stored items back
