A few of the cheats do not appear to be working, in some cases they even produce opposite effects.


Heal (map) kills your unit rather than healing them.


None of the set affinity functions appear to work. Most of them will activate under certain conditions, but don't actually set your affinity. At least one of them, I think nature affinity, will not activate at all.

Hey BurlyWurly,

please try to start both PLITCH and Steam with explicit administrator rights (right-click on the desktop icon and then "run as administrator"). Then start the game with the "PLAY" button in PLITCH. 

Please make sure that you pay attention to the red hinz in PLITCH. You must first select your units on the map so that the cheats can also be applied to this unit. Close the view and open it again so that the new values are displayed. Try to earn some of the corresponding resource for the other values and resources before and after activating the cheats so that the values can update correctly.

Hey Fezi, thanks for the response. I have followed your directions exactly and it has not made any change.


For the heal (map) function I was already selecting the unit I wanted to heal and in their details screen as the info sections state. The cheat certainly functioned on the unit I selected, it just killed him instead of healing him.


No change with the set affinities cheat. They only function from within the Empire Development screen (except for nature which just doesn't function at all), which makes sense, but still don't actually set affinities, even after turn changes or resource gain/loss. I'm careful to select my Ruler unit before going into the Empire Development screen just in case, but still, nothing.


Knowledge is gained every turn, and still no amount of turn changeovers causes knowledge surplus or instant research to do anything.

Hey BurlyWurly,

the game had an update in the meantime and we tested it directly with the latest version. Everything should work again there: 


“Heal (map)“:


https://i.gyazo.com/904acee5f50e0f6083a0e18bd54c76dd.mp4 



”Set Knowledge (surplus)”: 


https://i.gyazo.com/3314151fde5292f0f0858d14766abeb2.mp4 



”Set affinity” cheats: 


https://i.gyazo.com/b393b424788e8aa84afc32d1b62c47aa.mp4 


Nature and Shadow took a while to update because I started off with 0 and therefore the values didn't update at the beginning. As soon as you have more of the affinity here or let several rounds pass, it will work again. 

 


“Instant research“: 


https://i.gyazo.com/4fbfa3255855dc60ad3e67bafac4f527.mp4 


 

Please let us know if it also works for you with the new version.
