Any cheats/way to cheat w/ Cheat Engine?

[Mallradical]

Ok, I know cheats were removed because Beta testing ended, and there are no need for them. But I (and I believe some part of the community) want to get all the cool things and be OP or just be able to get out of a tough situation. So I ask for something like a cheat menu with things like "+10 coins" "+100 metal" "+1000 metal" "instant research" or at least what to input into Cheat Engine, please!
By the way, the game is really cool! I enjoy playing it, and I'd like to just kill everyone with 10 dread star fleet or something like that.

The way to cheat is to hook yourself into the (relatively poorly documented and incomplete) 'modder' features.

http://stars-in-shadow.com/modding.html

You can skip the 'visual studio' setup section, and just jump right to the 'Setting Up SiS' section, which explains how to get into your 'developer options'. These options include, but are certainly not limited to, a few cheat commands.

If people are interested in doing more than simply unlocking cheats -- let me know, and I'll see about improving the documentation on the 'modding' page. First on the list of useful changes, I think, would be to update the live coding hooks to work with a more modern version of VS.

Thanks a lot! I will try this way!
P.S. I'm already seeing a 10-dread-star fleet! Mwahahaha!
P. P. S. I won't use cheats to easily get achievements like build 6 dread stars in 1 game, but sorry if I get any of them with these cheats accidentally.

btw, if you still want to use cheat engine, the primary numbers are in Double.

so do an exact search, but change 4 byte to double.

then it works like tracking any other value in any other game.

The Developers Options menu is enabled by placing an empty text file named "show_hidden_options.bool" in your /Stars in Shadow/ directory. Restart the game. The menu is accessed by clicking on the "Options" title text in the options menu.

And this is why I probably should unsub from these old, answered questions.

I think being able to create my own race would be the most ideal. If that's possible somehow, I'd be all over the modding.

no longer seems to work, I've followed the instructions, nothing happens.

You should be fine with editing your savedgame, yes?
