Possible Exploit

[Hornswaggler]

As this game is made with Unity the Game Code is written in a .net language which can be easily decompiled / modified. It can also be modifed in such way that it will give you items which you should normally buy with real money for free. As you dont do any checking on that even now that steam is integrated so you can could have actual lunchbox items in steam and not just virtual ones which can either modified by decrypting the weak encryption of the savegame or directly ingame (i can provide a poc if wanted).

public void AddLunchBox(ELunchBoxType type, int quantity)
{
    this.m_localLunchBoxes.Insert(0, new LunchBox(type, quantity));
}

Not a bit of checking wether or not the person actual owns the box[i.imgur.com]

True. I was talking about the steam version, though.

Well, people used save editors since day 1 on Steam. Nothing new, really. :P

that is a fact :D

It's a single-player game that doesn't connect to the internet in order to play. Every game of such sort can be modified and exploited, that's nothing new and I guess that Beth knows it well.

Edit the .json variation of the save file, you have to extract that information with a third party program thought, plenty of guides on how to pull it off.

just read in another thread that appearently you can even use cheat engine (no idea if that's true, haven't tested it myself) so i guess it's even easier than editing a save file.
or maybe not, i guess you can already tell that i don't have too much experience with those kinds of things. just used cheat engine a couple times for one game because bugs and unfinished development made it unplayable after a certain amount of time so for me it's the easiest (and most trustworthy) option to use. tried savegame editors, trainers, etc. a couple times when i was younger but ended up with nothing but a bunch of viruses that forced me to format C:/ and reinstall everything. since then i don't really trust those things anymore lol

Basically you can decrypt the savefile to a json (convert the savefile to something that's readable to humans).
Then you can edit that; now this is a huge list of information so there's save editors that do this converting for you; and then show you the important things you might want to edit. (for example lunchboxes, happiness of dwellers, anything.)

There's online save editors and downloadable programs.

The game is out a year ago don't expect update for that this exploit was already used on Android, i've reported this but nothing.

yeah from what i've read in other threads on here, i get the feeling that bethesda doesn't really care about bug reports, at least not in this game, maybe for other games it is different.
kinda reminds me of the many unsuccessful early access titles that i've seen come and go.

Nah. I will crack myself about 1000000 caps and 100 boxes. That would be enough. Shame it can't add Nuka-Quantum.
