Cheats?

from Sins Forums
im not a big fan of cheats or cheaters but i am curious, are there cheats on here? alot of games have cheats on computers such as empire earth, age of empires and numerous other strategy games. so does this game have cheats?

(im mostly asking this for many of my friends who cheat who don't want to waste time to make an entire post on the topic, their lazy)

their is a attribute tied to build speed, i have no idea what it is though, its probably in each specific ship dat file.

No there is a universal one, hence why you can hit + and double the game speed. You can also change the speed of the game befor you go in so obviously there is some univeral quality.

Overall build speed can be modded in the gameplay.constants file. Search for buildSpeedData and change the values accordingly. Then when you start a new game, select which build speed you modded.

That's just modding. As to the achievements, they don't unlock anything, so you're only cheating yourself out of achieving them the honest way :p

I dont actually use the achievements cheat because it is better to try to earn them. Its basically the only real goal of the game.

umm, i have a question, if you change the build speed in the game file, it changes all build speed for everyone, is there a way to change starting money/build speed for just a single player?
Reply #12 from Sins Forums Top
Might be possible to change starting money for a certain player in Galaxy Forge, but I'm not sure. Don't think you can change speed for one person, unless you change it for a faction and are the only one to use that faction.

You can change the Starting money for a certan player, (you neew to load, quit and load, until you get the modded credits and supplies)
