“cheat” to get more moneys

First of all; let me say that if this doesn’t work for you; please don’t blame me, I’m merely sharing this as it’s worked for me on my system.

I got bored and started playing around and discovered the save file is just a normal text file you can edit. Using a perl script I made and knowing how much money I had, I discovered something interesting… First open the save file located here:
$HOME/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Bionic_Dues/RuntimeData/Save/YOURSAVEGAME

Starting at the very end of the one-line-save file; using the comma as a separator; go back 113 “columns” and you’ll find where to modify the amount of money you have for that save game.

(for those who care; here’s the perl script I used to help determine the findings and a second script to just print how much money that save has.)

#!/usr/bin/perl
#find.pl

$file = ($ARGV[0] ? $ARGV[0] : “fu”);
print “$filen”;

$money = “42943”; #tuck-4-science money
$ctr = 0;

open(F, “$file”);
while () {
chop($line = $_);
@bar = split(/,/, $line);
@fu = reverse(@bar);
foreach $item (@fu) {
if ($item == $money) {
$p = $ctr + 2;
print “$pn”;
}
$ctr++;
}
}
close(F);

#!/usr/bin/perl

#show.pl

$file = ($ARGV[0] ? $ARGV[0] : “fu”);
print “$filen”;

open(F, “$file”);
while () {
chop($line = $_);
@bar = split(/,/, $line);
@fu = reverse(@bar);
print “$fu[113]n”;
}
close(F);

but wait; it gets better… one of the developers helped me out by giving me a snippet of the source code for Bionic Dues:

Looking at the code, if you want to find it on the first try bear in mind that the order just before that field is:

OutputBuffer.AddItem( this.HQHealth );
OutputBuffer.AddItem( this.DaysLeft );
OutputBuffer.AddItem( 0 ); // used to be scavenging level
OutputBuffer.AddItem( this.ManufacturingLevel );
OutputBuffer.AddItem( this.Credits );

So if you know those values it’s not too hard to find.
