Money console command?

[BUBBLEGUM]

I just want to try out the DE6. That's literally it. I didn't pay $30 to grind my ♥♥♥♥ off. Is there a console command for this?

I want to drive a train. Not grind. If I wanted to grind, then I would play ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rust or Heros and Generals or something. A real train driver, once given his / her license, isn't going to be asked to grind cash to unlock a train. It's the drivers ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ job.

No only way to make money built into the game is jobs. There is a savegame editor going around that you can use, and I've heard some people manage it via cheat engine.

nope, do the work

Takes less than a minute using Cheat Engine or similar to give yourself the $200k or whatever.

well said

If you do not want to play the game use cheat engine or wait for sandbox mode.

Maybe it could come in handy to learn the physics with less than 400t, to understand what's going on. On the other hand, if the target is to derail anyway, then it doesn't matter. It will rather help.

Just courious: Why is a train below 400t no train? Do you play on easy, as you get the most money then?

I think this is another case where the new economic model needs seriously rebalancing. If you're only making 300 credits per job after costs (a bit more if you service loco yourself) then it is going to take 666 missions to get the 200k for the DE6 and that's without incurring any other costs. That's over 400 hours of gameplay (probably). With the exception of Elite Dangerous and maybe Fallout 4 (but multiple playthroughs) I don't think any game I've played has racked up that much time.

Perhaps unlocking the other locos should be XP based rather than economy based...

If you jump in the discord, there are some members willing to share saves that have money and trains unlocked. :)

Also don't forget about the difficulty settings in the menu now.

How on earth are you makeing 300 credits per mission? Something is terribly wrong on your end. You should have several k(5 to 7k) left after fees per decent haul on normal difficulty(with only basic licences, no long trains, nothing) with the shunter. If you play on easy you get double that.

You have the 200k in about ~5 hours play on easy if you know what needs to be done...not ~400 ;)

[Kimo]

If you plan your job propperly you also get the time bonus. I play on normal, haven't any derails and expect the 200k in 10 play hours in total. Maybe 15h. If you drive carefully.

If you play easy you should get it in 10h. 5 seems a bit ambitious to me. :)

It's not that I don't want to play the game, I am. That's why I vomited up $30 and chucked on the developers desk. But I don't want to grind. I want to drive a train.

[BUBBLEGUM]

And another thing, I don't think Cheat Engine is the way to go since my anti vrius goes ape shi* so I'm not really all for it. It's like the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ jungle came alive, swinging from vine to vine and telling me it shouldn't be installed no matter what.

Given how Cheat Engine works then yeah your anti virus could warn you about it, thats just how it is.

I have to say I'm not happy with how you're bringing this up on every thread (this is the fifth I read now?) claiming that you're only making $300 profit per job, when that really depends on play style, the job in question, your licenses and so many factors. As I said in the other thread, the economy does need tweaking, but please don't spread misinformation. Very quickly into the game you can start earning a lot more serious money, way above $300.

And to the OP - please note that a sandbox mode is planned. We just couldn't manage to do everything at once for this update.

I suggest to look for some traktors and excubators to haul. With the 'long I', 6 cars, around 200t, easy to do with the shunter. Done in time pays over 50k. Just be clever.
