What you can edit
Limited to the Windows Steam workflow whose build 17691957 reader ignores the trailing hash comparison. Builds that enforce that hash are outside this guide.
| Resources and upgrades | Change existing Money, Caviar, HardCurrency, experience, level-index and upgrade values. |
|---|---|
| Boats and progression | Edit mapped health/cargo values, existing item quantities, quests, caught-unit flags and local unlock records. Keep existing records and collection sizes. Large scientific values retain their original text representation; local Steam item flags do not change server inventory. |
Notes
- The trailing integrity footer is retained after an edit. This workflow is limited to the Windows Steam reader described above; it does not provide a new valid footer for other builds.
