What you can edit
Research editing for world-save versions 5, 10 and 30. Inventory, resources, character statistics, ships and missions are outside this guide; other save layouts are not included.
| Research progress | Change stored technology unlock and availability flags, and progress and maximum-progress values for existing research types. ProgressRaw and MaxProgressRaw use the game's stored integer units. |
|---|---|
| Research selection and queue | Edit the current and last-completed research indices and existing queue entries. Technology and researcher names remain technical identifiers. Keep references consistent. Text changes must retain the original encoded length; adding or removing research records is outside this guide. |
