Cheat Engine

Hello,
I noticed that the algorithm for cheating in this game was never written on this forum, so whenever somebody looks it up, they get the old ALPHA version table, or some things like "Mr.AntiFun made a trainer for this version" (and he actually does updates on his trailers, but these trainers are no fun and you have to do sth to make them work... (not free)

so
I will put algorithms for resources, health, and skills.

The algorithm for "resources" (on ONE field):
1) search in "4 Bytes" for an exact value of the amount of eg metal in one field. There should be more than 20 resources on this field.
*(NOT the upper left corner one - as that is the calculated SUM of all resources in your "storage zone")
**(if all resources are taken from the said field, then you have to start from scratch (again)).
2) do sth so that a colonist will add/remove some amount of resource from the very exact field
*(you can eg ask him to build, then ask him to do sth else remotely, then remotely ask him to "haul resource")
3) recheck (Next scan) the new value in that field.
4) repeat steps 2 and 3 untill you have one address

*this cheat works great for metal, silver, wood, stone, BUT FOOD is a bit different, as colonists sometimes take WHOLE PILE of food (all say 990 berries) just to use like 10, then they mess up all storage by putting the rest 980 into a lot of 75berry big piles in the storage...
**you can circumvent this food problem by editing MEAT (never had a problem here), or by editing ANY FOOD that is stored in this food dispenser "Hopper" thing that you build next to Organic Paste Dispenser (which you should have dismantled by now).

Algorithm for Skills:
1) search using "Float" value. Searched values are NOT EXACT byt rounded (both ceiling and floor), so if you look for an ingame, say, cooking skill which is 599, you will have to search using Scan Type "Value Between" - here 598 and 560.
2) make the said colonist increase the skill a bit.
3) search again, also using Value Between (if new value is 662, then scan for 661 and 623).
4) edit the value (set it big like 29000)
*level and speed will not change untill you do the action again. Now you can cook Lavish Meals with cooking lv12+

Algorith for colonist life/enemy hp:
-this is a basic hack:
1) Scan 4Bytes for EXACT value (say 100). New scan for 100
2) get damaged so value changes (say 8 Cool

. Next Scan for 88
3) repeat
4) Set it to 100 and make it "Active" (permanent; value wont change under fire etc).
* you can do the same with enemies; Centipedes have like 720HP and machine guns.

I attached some screenshots that may help.

Thanks for the info. It's appreciated.

Also, you can edit the save game files with notepad++ to modify the resource piles, characters, buildings and position for about anything on the map (not 100% sure, skimmed through).
Location is Users\Profile\AppData\LocalRow\Ludeon for Win7.
However, exaggerating things may cause the game to spawn about 20 pirates on the first attack. At least that's what it did for me...

Hello,
I just wanted to inform that due to the update of RimWorld the algorithm for HEALTH had changed, so now this above algorithm may NOT WORK.

It used to be 100 heath points in general. Now there are separate body parts...

You can also find battery power reserves under float.

Or, because they provide access to some part of the code for modder, you can look in the code, find how the data structures are organized and search for a structure that look like the one you're searching for.

"resources" does not work, it reset to what it was

Hey, guys! Does anyone know the algorithm for work progress?

"How to find it?"
Set Value type to Float, select Unknown Initial Value, and go to town. The value increases, so use "Increased Value" followed by "Unchanged Value" until you get to two matching values.

You're looking for a value approaching the base cost (so for neolithic tech trying to research electricity, it's still max 1200 even though the cost you have to pay is 3600).

I'd set it to one or two points below the cap. I imagine there is a different value for each technology, but I just finished fiddling around and finding Electricity.

Edit: Sorry if that sounded rude. That's your best bet if you're like me and don't know enough yet to write a script for it.
Anyway, I have confirmed each tech has a different address, so you will have to start over for each.
Plus, to make it easier, you can divide the number by the nonpercent multiplier (3 for 300%). You'll want to do Value Between instead of Increased Value, and because you're "unrounding" if you have to divide at all (4 is anywhere from 3.5 - 4.49, so on a 300% you divide each of those by 3 and have your "between" values, but just do something like 1 and 1.5 for ease and as a little buffer to help you not exclude any valid values)
