Deep Rock Galactic Save Editor

There are likely to be bugs, see the Known Issues and Troubleshooting section

This repo is aimed at providing continued support and updates for robertnunn/DRG-Save-Editor as the original creator has "Largely moved on from this project"

That said, I'm in college right now and likely won't have time to implement many of the To-Do items at the end of this file, not without help anyway

if these instructions are unclear a member of the community, NerdyJosh1, has made a video tutorial for windows users

• Note: this tutorial was made for version 1.7.0/1.8.0 of the editor, some things have changed since then

Known Issues

• The editor works by looking for specific values in the raw data of the save, it doesn't decode the data into a nice, neat python object. As a result if certain things aren't present in the save (e.g., >0 forged overclocks, certain resources) the editor will malfunction and give nonsensical results. The solution is to acquire at least one of the resources in game then use the editor.

Troubleshooting

If the editor opens but doesn't edit your save properly (i.e., values not being read properly, changes not being reflected in-game, etc) please open an issue, describe the problem as thoroughly as you can, and attach a copy of your save file from BEFORE any edits were attempted.

Usage

Note: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SAVE FILE

The editor will make a backup of the save file you open in the same folder as the save file with the extension of .old. The editor makes this backup at the moment you open the save file.

The editor should be pretty self-explanatory, see the screenshot below.

Some notes:

• There is a context menu in the overclock tree listing to add overclocks to the inventory
• You can CTRL+Click on overclocks to select more than one
• Changing XP values will update the other relevant fields when the focus changes (i.e., click on a different part of the program or another program entirely)
• If you have promotions beyond Legendary 3 those promotions will be preserved as long as the drop-down is set to "Legendary 3+". If you don't have enough promotions for a specific dwarf and set them to "Legendary 3+" it will keep whatever the original value was.
