Resetting progress with SCIM

[NuclearAnt]

I've been experimenting with SCIM now to reset my map but keep the Ficsmas and "game finished" unlocks. One problem remains, the giant thingamajig in the sky is still finished. Is there a way to reset that too with SCIM? All milestones are already reset and all research is reset, its just that big thingamajig left to reset but I cant find the options for it.

Any other editor recommended for it perhaps?

The thing in the sky is tied to the phase you are on within the space elevator. The milestones and mam unlocks have nothing to do with that. If the site allows you need to reset the elevator back to phase 1 then that would be the thing to do.

I just checked and as best as I can tell the SCIM site does not have a way to reset elevator phase. But a recent discussion on the devs web site says it has been added since 1.0 now that the game has finally completed and the phases are set. I am just unable to find it myself and the post doesnt really clearify where this option is located only that it was added after 1.0

here is the relevent part of the post I found

At the moment maybe but once 1.0 comes out and the dev see's how the story is tied to progression the site will be updates to accommodate.

If anyone is still looking for solution:



SCIM can change game phase, but can't reset everything to empty,

and here is the link to the discussion.

so that is the best I Can dig up. note that 6 months ago the SCIM could do nothing...then the post from 1 month ago said it could but didnt explain much else on how to do it, that post simplly went on about another part of the topic not relevant to the space elevator.
so take you can from this information.

You have to load up your save and rightclick your space elevator on the map itself, the rightclick menu has the option to update phase.
It will give a dropdown menu to choose your phase.

ahh thanks.
I knew there was a way and I was just missing it.
well that should give OP exactly what he is looking for then.

What I might go for is a replay where the requirements at 10x higher. Just for fun,

This seems like important info the player wouldn't know about...players like me.

I deleted my space elevator...it just kept an objective in the top corner, asking for 50 smart plating after the game was finished, but I couldn't interact with the hub or the elevator menu in any way. Fed the thing, still says/shows the same objective, with no way to complete it... so I deleted it. Annoying.

that phase 1 stuff after completing the game is more a bug...you are not really in phase 1 and even though you can feed the elevator you cant send anything up.
but editing your save to phase 1 or 0 should do the trick
