Game keeps crashing when trying to cheat

[Chuck Greene]

Anyone else run into this problem or know how to get around it? It's kind of annoying because I'd rather play it differently than how it's intended to be played. Whenever I modify my item totals, it just crashes when I try to end the day.

Modding isnt 'cheating'. My personnal experience tells me that when this games crash there a 70% probability its a NPC doing something illegal.
Or you did an error in updating your mod maybe, did you try to delete everything and start from scratch?
But hey my mod works but the game still crashes in the supermarket so theres no way out lol
My mod add stacking, infinite tool dura, and some small recipes changes
Coz i like to play casual and empty locations of everything
I just gave up to try adding capacity slots or modifying the characters attributes.
This game isnt mod friendly in the first place, there are issues since I got the game years ago

I was just using cheat engine to try and modify values. For example, when I take in 8 lumber and change my 'storage' value to 100 after taking all the lumber in, the game continues to play until I try to end the day (which is where it crashes). If I try to change that 8 lumber into 100 lumber, it crashes as well as soon as it changes from 5/6 lumber to 100. Now, the only thing I'm actually changing is the values of items and nothing else.
I might try out utilizing some of the stuff from the workshop because I can't seem to get it to work and that might be more reliable.

I dont understand very well what your trying to do. We are talking about stack size right?
Maybe the game dont take 3 digit? try stack of 99 to see if helps.
Or did you mean available starting ressource at base?
My biggest stack is ammo at 50 I think and the day ends normal.
And ideally you should start a new game after any file change, so maybe if you change values while in-game or load a save with a 'different mod' it crashes

Try to edit items only when located in the survivor back pack or when you found them while scavenging.
Best not to change the value but freeze them until you get satisfy quantity.

[Chuck Greene]

I'll give both a shot next time I try booting up the game. I hadn't thought about freezing the value of the scavenged items, but that may potentially help. And I do wonder if there's some sort of stack limit, but I hope not. Either way, I'll post updates when I get them.

Mod conflict just disable them not needed.
