Help Editing Save File
I accidentally deleted my late-game save, and, honestly, I won't even think about restarting. I was just gearing up to kill a pug arfecta. I can't fly around in a shuttle after that. So I'd like to recreate my save, but there are a couple things I don't know how to do:

  • I don't know how to make it know I've visited every planet.
  • I don't know how to give myself ships. When you add a ship to a save file, there are a ton of specifications you have to define. So if anyone has the default specifications for the following ships, that would be great (these are the ships I have the most of): Bactrian, Leviathan, Shield Beetle, Tempest, Korath Raider.
  • I don't know to define which campaigns I've done. I've done the Deep missions up to the bactrian one; the Free Worlds campaign; and the Wanderer part 1 campaign (up until you go into the portal).

Everything else (like credits and reputation) I can figure out on my own. Seriously, I had just grinded and got 50 shield beetles today. I'd have to ditch the game for at least a couple months if I want to go back after this.

Thanks!

As far as replacing the ships goes, I think it'd be easier to use an all-content plugin that lets you buy them instead of redefining them yourself in your save file, then ditch the all content plugin after you're done. Here are some all content plugins you could use:
https://github.com/endless-sky/all-content-plugin
https://github.com/EndlessSkyCommunity/world-forge
https://github.com/Adde-Endless-Sky/AES-Omnis
Choose one of those, go to wherever the plugins sells all the ships and outfits in the game, give yourself a bunch of credits to buy them, then buy and outfit however many ships you want. Note that some ships may require licenses, so you'll need those first. The latter two plugins there have jobs that can grant you credits and licenses upon accepting them, so you'll probably be easier off grabbing one of those two.

As for the rest, it'll probably be easier to just get a save file from someone else, then buy the ships you want using an all content plugin in that save. I'll ask around to see if anyone can provide one.

Thanks! Please keep me updated on that last thing.

Have you done anything with the Coalition or Remnant? (I want to get a save as close to what you had as possible so that you don't miss out on anything.)

I finished the Remnant questline (at least I think I did— I have the military license and only do the crippled korath raider jobs for them now) and have visited but done nothing with the coalition. Honestly, I'd be fine with replaying the Remnant questline, if that makes it easier.

Alright then, here you go. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/360922185319317504/788836677854560256/Recovered_Pilot.txt

File provided by Terin on Discord, who had a snapshot from just after the Eye opens up. I then added the license for the Bactrian, stripped it of any Coalition and Remnant content, and dropped you off on New Boston. If you want to change the name of the pilot then that's the very first line of the save file. If you need any more help from here then just ask.

That worked. Thanks!
