Cheats?

[okieordie78]

Yep, I'll say it. I'm that guy. I even considered trying a cheat trainer cuz holy crap this game is kicking my rear end. Plants keep dying, aluminum is super hard to get and seems to be the one I need the most. Can't find any circuit boards (probably due to glitches).

Getting water and power to my suit are the only things I seem to be doing right.

Can we at least cut down on some of the resource requirements? And PLEASE let us make our circuit boards.

[LukaszP]

We are thinking about that - but no promises yet.

In the topic of circuit boards - there definitely will be change of that mechanics

[Shanna]

go to the closest abandoned base, press Z. If you see nothing, scrap down what you can, mostly the circuitboards appear on the floor then, there are several (4?) in that first base.

I'm in free play on cerberus, go out the pod, turn left, you see stoneformations a bit away, that's mostly aluminium.

Good luck!

Please note that for such people, the developers have added an option in the settings "highlight interactive objects" -> switch to "always" and set a longer range.
You will immediately see all the items that can be found at the base, even if they are in closed boxes, I have so many of these printed circuit boards now...

What a legend! Cheers, worked a treat!

The highlight objects is a help, but a different color would be appreciative.

I would love some cheats, its annoying to drive half a day to base to find boards under the floors that you can't get too because you need to possibly scrap base to find.

Please Devs give the cheats for those who want it but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not take away the having to EARN things in this game. It is a survival game people should not buy such a game if they are not willing to put in the work. Please Devs do not make this another survival game watered down for the impatient. Provide their cheats so they can move forward as a choice but keep the grind and survival real. You worked so hard to make this a survival simulator hate to see that ruined because some people buy survival games to just build. Honestly Surviving Mars is a build sim they can go play.

[clumpytrack711]

Its not cheats to beat the game its cheats when game throws roadblocks at your like circuit boards spawning underneath base or inventory items that disappear after a reload.

Folks can play freestyle with almost everything unlocked but we just want to try the game as it was meant to be. Some may want it to help them but not everyone wants to say I win right off the bat.

[Tekcruzer]

Devs please put in an "I win" button for those that don't require gameplay..then you can get on with developing without having to add cheats to everything.

This is such a BS opinion. The game should have a console that allows spawning things, yes. Absolutely. Its single player and different people enjoy different things. I, for example, really love sandbox games where I get to build and explore. But, ya know, I have a life and a important things to do in the real world so I don't have infinite time to grind in order to find a few hard to find materials. I can get 95% of the enjoyment out of a title by using things like console commands to eliminate a lot of pointless grind and have an overall better and more productive life.

Maybe you have nothing going on in life and an infinite amount of time to grind in virtual worlds. But don't go assuming everyone else is the same and thus, "people should not buy such a game if they are not willing to put in the work".

This is the great thing about single player games, how one person choses to play their game has zero consequences for other people's games. So in a configurable game with console commands, everyone can have their own preferred experience. I really like survival games and at times I've spent lots of time playing them. But I don't always have that amount of time available. Plus, some games are too grindy without a good reason and its kinda dumb to invest so much real world time into a game if the game isn't well balanced. Early access games, in particular, are almost never balanced because they are a work in progress. So there really is no good excuse for players not to be able to spawn in things or adjust during EA. Essentially we're all QA testers who pay for the privilege, testers usually have access to do such things...

You do know that there is an easy tourist mode where everything is basically handed to you already, eh? If you don't want a harder game where you have to be patient and earn things, just play on easy mode. I can't imagine why one would want to, myself, though, because there's not that much to do in the game and building bases like with a lego set is not that much fun that I think a whole game should be based on it. Most of the fun is to face struggle for survival, and having to go out, find, and earn everything to progress each step of the way. Each to their own though. How many people who are asking for cheats have tried turning all the introductory settings down to easy?

This exactly, Easy mode is already in the game so why would you even need cheat codes.
Not to mention if you cheat sure ya can build anything you want without any of the work or risk involved with earning any of it in survival but then whats the point? Your bored in a day or so and on to the next game to cheat on. The limited time argument is whats the real BS lol, I have limited time due to work and life but never used it as an excuse to use cheats that totally destroy what made the game fun.
But hey you do you if breezing thru the game with cheats is your idea of fun great, Lets just hope you don't complain the games boring and down vote it because it has no content and you got bored and blamed the game devs for your cheat using behavior.
