[Windows]Cheating in Duskers
By Velken Iakov
In this guide I will show you how to: a)workaround some bugs; b) be a bad loser; or c) how to go on a semi-god-mode to explore the lore of Duskers.
Using this will out 80% of the fun, but can also be good to give that extra scrap or fuel that vanished in a bug.
NOTE:THIS DOES NOT WORK ON CHALLANGES! AND IF YOU FIND A WAY TO CHEAT ON CHALLANGES, DO NOT DO IT!

THE file
The file that we will be editing is at: %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Duskers\data\udata\DEFAULT\

You will now open universedata.txt with a text editor (recomendation: Notepad++)
Your current status
At line 15 (can be other line, but in my file is line 15) you will have this string:
EDIT: The line number will change, but search for a line that is similar to this one.
+PLAYER|DAYS=9:SHIP_ID=OBJ_56771634:SCRAP=168:F_JUMP=13:F_PROP_R=6:MTIME=7589.452:FAIL_NXT=8035.173:FAIL_NXT_WRN=8014.437:RESTORE_NXT=8093.406:FAIL_NXT_MIN=1200:FAIL_NXT_MAX=2400:F_PROP_C=0:DEFINITION=MUTEKI:CLASS=A

Now, let's break it down:
The first 2 variables are not important, you can ignore them.
SCRAP=<number>: is the amount of your current scrap (DO NOT SET THIS HIGHER THAN THE SHIP'S MAX CAPACITY!).

F_JUMP=<numer>: is the jump fuel that you have.

F_PROP_R=<number>: is your reserver fuel (the one that displays lie (+<number>) in game).

More stuff that you should avoid messig with.

F_PROP_C=<number>: is your current fuel (DO NOT SET THIS HIGHER THAN THE SHIP'S MAX CAPACITY!).

DEFINITION=<name>: is the type of your ship (MILITARY/MUTEKI/GOVERMENT and etc.).

CLASS=<A/B/C/D> is the size of your ship.

Definition and class change nothing in the gameplay.
Your ship
The next line is about your ship (in my case, was line 16):
+OBJ_56771634|P=PLAYER:DTYPE=1:DEFNAME=MUTEKI:MAX_SCRAP=300:MAX_PFUEL=7:SHP_FXD_TYPE=7:DMIN=0.4381735:DMAX=0.4381735:SEED_C=470666141:SEED_D=2009484830:NAME=Nuncio:ID=49:ITYPE=Brute,PatrolBot:VISITED=True:SLOTS=4:DEFCLASS=A

The first variables/parameters you can ignore.

MAX_SCRAP=<number>: this is your ship max scrap capacity.

MAX_PFUEL=<number>:this is your normal fuel capacity (the one that refills after a jump).

More studd that you can ignore.

SLOS=<number>: Number of upgrade slots on your ship (be careful editing this one!)

And that is for this part.
Making everything good as new!
Go on the search option (or press CTRL + F) and search for: BREAK_PROB=
delete the numbers that are after the = and stop at the :
Then type: 0.0
DONE! Everything is tottaly new.

Drone stats are in here, too. Just look for the +DRONE_ lines. Change the SLOTCT to 4 to get a 4-slotter. NAME changes the name, and NUM is the current slot on the ship. Set SPD to 1.35, and THP/HP are the total/current HP. You might be able to copy a drone line, too, but you would need to change the ID, NUM, ID on the DRONE_ part, DVPSEED, and a few other things.

set VISITED=True to VISITED=False and you can revisit any ship you have been on

The reason I ask is cause I notice the "slots" line works to show more than one slot but doesn't actually allow you to add multiple

Hey Velken, You happen to make an update to this yet?

Any way to add drones and upgrades? Set explored ships to unexplored?

Its a pretty easy discovery knowing who cheated or not on scoreboards anyway.
But looking around in games and seeing the flaws what someone can manually change is a pretty interesting thing.

Well, if some other's ego is threatened by someone who obviously cheated by achieving an utterly, ridiculously impossible score that's on that other person.
Really, all I'm interested in is the discovery and proof of concept.

You might not care, but others do
