Mysterious Installation unlock through files?

[st0ne56]

I remember unlocking the PHQ on release but really dont feel like spending hours again just to unlock a new start and was wondering if there is anyway for me to change the files to unlock those starts?

if you start the game with the boron dlc, you get the HQ soon as you enter heratics end now, you can also do a custom budgetd start and choose to start with the HQ already and even choose its starting location.

That will give me the locked starts?

what locked starts are you refering to? the one that starts you with an HQ is unlocked the moment you get an HQ in any of your games iirc, thats the accomplished scientist.

ya both those are unlocked soon as you get your HQ, not sure how you lost those but if u have the boron dlc you can just head to heratics end and its given to you now, if u dont have it then u need to do the old method or do a terran start, there i think is a file u can modify, but u can probably just unlock it within seconds anyway right now.

So apparently just picking a Boron start and going to Heretics end does not unlock the two extra starts unless I messed up by not delivering the tofu or whatever to the station.

unless somethings changed with the most recent update, i'm almost positive that the teladi start is unlocked by just having the HQ, the only other prereq could possibly be joining the teladi trade guild which does require 10 rep with them.
the accomplished scientest, same thing, just needs the HQ, it was usually unlocked the moment you got the achivement "thats no moon"assuming u already got these before though, and i didnt really mean needing to start as a boron, any start, outside of terran now, or custom game starts where you choose to start with the HQ, gives you the HQ the moment you start the mission from heratics end, or i think if u start as a boron you also get it right away.
Wonder if anyone else can chime in here, i personally never did the HQ storyline in the base game (dont even have any of those achivements for getting the HQ the old way) and i have all those starts.

Whats even more weird is I was looking at my achievments and I have the ones to meet the HQ science Boron and teleportation which if I remember correctly you need to unlock at the HQ. Either way I went to heretics end and even landed at the HQ and did not get the thats no moon achievement which is werid bc the HQ is there so idk if something broke or what?
