Any way to cheat?

[Effluo]

why? oh why?

cheat happens.

why do you people always feel the need to debate it when asked if its possible?

it is not about trust, or honor or pride or lazyness or whatever new excuse you have come up with to make yourself feel better.

personally, i cheat when i am doing beta testing. how do you know what works if you cant test it?

in games like this, cheating is the only way to get past uber mobs (the broken ones) so you can test for the next bug while that one is being fixed.

this game is NOT finished. it is not a sign of being a great player that you beat a part of the game that everyone is having issues with, it was random chance combined with your being too stuborn to ask for help .

if you now are part of this game, help out your fellow players with constructive information, not randon, holyer than thou lectures

i didnt get gold on one of the plays i have done. could afford the mortar and one crew.
i tried to use cheat engine and the line that has gold will NOT change lol

For gold search double. Skills are float, but it has to be in the same battle if you want to find it.

Then why do people decide to play hardcore mode in some games like for example Grim Dawn? Hardcore means when you die it's over so maybe you as a cheater, or someone else, can explain to me why there are people that want to play a game mode where you only have 1 life and then decide to cheat to bring back a dead character while there is just a normal game mode where you don't even have to cheat because you can die millions of times without ever losing one..

So why are people doing that? Is it for testing purpose? Is it to play the game their own way??

And yes, while some games like Grim Dawn are single player, they also have a multiplayer option and it just sucks that there are a lot of people out there playing hardcore that die and just the next day you see them again on the same high level character.....

Funniest excuse i've ever heard

Too stuborn to ask how to cheat? No, getting through it may be rng in some cases but to say that people being "stuborn" and actually trying to get through something without cheating, making out like their effort to do so is somehow a bad thing, is just stupid... Newsflash, some people, very few, just don't cheat, and that doesn't make them lesser than you for not asking how to do so. Seems like you need to follow some of your own advice in the next comment you made...

If you're using some tools to like spawn in a ship with a very specific loadout suspecting it is bugged for testing puroses, then technically it is not cheating, especially if you do it in a special test room where you can toggle things like weather and the AI at will.
I can't say how it works for this game, but that's usually how interactions between different elements are tested, in a special room where you have access to everything and there are handy spawn and effect triggers as opposed to like enabling god mode and playing through the game until you find the right ship in the right weather.
A test room or a chapter select, or a console command to spawn me into the boss battle would've been nice when my save got deleted on the first build I had tested ending up with me not making a review that included the boss battle because I wasn't able to beat it without my save getting wiped and the feedback was on a deadline.

@ Twitch
you obviously have not played this game, as most of your coments do not actually apply to this game.

this game has, in effect, no save function. it IS hardcore mode. if you die, it is game over. thus if you want to actually play this game at all, you will have to rely on pure luck or cheat. the dificulty settings do not work properly either.

the devs have admitted to several broken and overpowered mobs in the game. if you encounter any, then it is a full wipe.

there isnt a test room in this game, as far as we know, nor is there a console, that we know of.

thus the questions. is there a console? is there a test? can we spawn in the mobs? can we change the gold? is the only way to change anything to edit the save file? (the current working cheat if you can call it that)

this game auto adjust all enemy ships to the equivilant of your ship, so you can not say that cheating will actually benefit you other than preventing a full wipe of your save.

some of us actually do get early access just to break the game. we actually enjoy cheating and finding the bugs for the devs. it is part of our game play experience.

some of the comentors here... it seems to be your habit to just be trolls....

You're just making up excuses to cheat, because if you really care about testing the game in early access as you say, you would test it by just playing it from the start normaly without cheats just as everyone else would play that buys the game.. and then you would post very constructive stuff on the forum how things are not working as they should and/or how things should be improved before the game gets out of developement!

But yeah, cheating has everything to do with lazyness because why else would you cheat in a video game? You cheaters are just addictive to chetaing in games and maybe you only cheat in single player games but there are so many that cheat in multiplayer games as well and destroying it for everyone else!

And oh yeah, this thread was created on the same day the game came out but hey, I'm just a troll as you say.....

[LordBlade]

If they're cheating in multiplayer, then that's wrong (unless it's a closed game with friends, at which point they can decide how they want to do things). But cheating should basically just be for enjoying yourself in a single player game. Or at most playing a multiplayer game solo or closed room or whatever mechanic is in place.

If someone's cheating in an online game, then report them (assuming the comany has some sort of system like that in place). Or, you know, choose not to play with them. I remember when I played lots of L4D2, there was the odd cheater that would pop up now and then. Usually spotted by having infinite health/ammo. I usually just flagged and blocked them, then left to start a new match. Problem solved.

[Markus Kruber]

The reason why I'm so very against cheaters, no matter what they say, is because as you saw above in the video there are so many cheaters everywhere, not just in single player games.

Maybe some people here truly only cheat in single player games, but then I still do not understand it why they do it, I really believe that all they do is destroying the game for themself but they don't all just cheat only in single player games, they're everywhere, in pretty much any online game.

Even Battlefield today is full of them, if you understand how they play and what they use it's very easy to spot them. But don't take my word on it, just look here and the reactions on these tweets to see what I mean -> https://twitter.com/TheBattlEye

[LordBlade]

Doesn't matter if you understand their reasoning for cheating in single player. It's still their right. They probably don't understand why you don't cheat.
Personally, I never understood why people gave a crap about achievements in games, but I know that's a huge market now. There's games out there that are entirely about getting achievements, and people go through them like mad (only to trade them in when they're done and buy another game to do the same).

But if someone cheats in mulitplayer, then report them, or do whatever the game has in place to take care of that.

Trust me, You don't want money cheat to get best ship. I shot myself in the foot so hard with this. The mobs level up with you. I do use the money cheat for hullrepair and buying upgrade but I keep myself low ship tier so I'm not getting blown out of the water by their high skilled crew and man o' war. I like to cheat because I like to mess around for fun of it. Is it a crime to have fun with the cheat when it a single player game?

[Effluo]

i actually want to have a way to give myself gold so i can hire the crew i want. this game auto upgrades the enemy with your equipment and ship equivelent. tho it does have points where it will force you to buy items or upgrades at certain milestones.
if you buy a ship, and have no crew, you are screwed. getting a proper amount of gold when you need it is a matter of luck.
i want to play this game, if i get wiped every other time i get a random encounter, i will soon give up lol
and since save files dissapear so often, cheating to get gold is the easiest way to get back to where you were previously

[Dr. Lousy Shot]

If you must cheat and have CE (Cheat engine) Search the "double" vaule from the drop down menu. That one seem to actually change the number. The other just have no effect. If that doesn't work, try all and change each one manually until it click.
