How to cheat by save editing

[chickeness]

Same way as cheating in Sunless Sea: C:\Users\name\AppData\LocalLow\Failbetter Games, Sunless Skies folder, storage folder, characterrepository folder, most recent lineage,most recent save, open that, money is at the very bottom, with the id tag of 133942, or following after that. (Don't really know how to edit save files, but this will work)

Editing money works but I wasn't able to properly use cheat-engine to make my amount of fuel/supplies locked the same way you could in Sunless Sea.
For example, if you lock the fuel amount at 3, and it goes down to 2, the displayed number will still be 3 and your hold will SHOW 3, but the available cargo hull will go up like the game still thinks you used up one of the fuel barrels in the hold. That will make it impossible to interact with your hold (jettison) until you bring the hull space to the correct amount (by buying stuff).

Iron = 131139
Hearts = 131138
Veils = 131140
Mirrors = 131141
Condition = 131221 [Editing this may break your save]

There are two ways, I prefer using cheat-engine.

If you know the IDs for what you want to change, in this case money, you can search your save file for the code
{"EffectiveLevel":9980,"Level":9980,"AssociatedQuality":{"Tag":"","Id":131137}}

(OP is technically incorrect, the ID tag comes after the value, the actual ID for money is 131137 not 133942).
Where the "level" is the amount of money you have. If you know the ID you can do this for any item or skills.

When you don't know the ID, or aren't having success searching the save file for it you can use cheat-engine. But the way I know of doing this requires you to have preferably at least 3 or 4 of an item and throwing it away one by one until you've narrowed down the entry for that item in the cheat-engine interface.

perfect thanks, now I can limp back to the blasted station.
Worked too just be sure to change both effective and actual level.
To those newbies to the sunless franchise I gotta warn ya: these kind of editing and cheats/hacks can really sap the fun from the game if you go overboard.
To the devs thank you for making your game easy to manipulate, makes it fun to change the vaules of enemies, prices and the like to mod on the fly with ease. So thank you for not making some convoluted mess that requires complex crap to install mods let alone mod the game.

Not gonna lie tho a built in mod manager that works smoothly would be nice tho once we start seeing more mods for this.

Furthermore the id for crew is Id:131235

Does anybody have a list of port and region ID's? The game is bugged for me and I keep encountering hangs/crashes when I try to go through transit relays, have only been able to do it successfully a few times. I cheated to get back to the Reach from Eleutheria and now I wanna go to London but it hangs every time I go through the transit relay.

This is what I have for New Winchester:
"CurrentRegionId":"9f50ee22-a594-4c42-939c-022cbe2fb677","CurrentPortId":"8576ef12-9e4d-4f30-8116-db5eb80f9543","LocationName":"New Winchester","CurrentSegmentPosition":{}}
