Extra money Begin a new game and build a base. Save it, and quit the game.
Open the game folder and you should see folders named "GAME_1" to
"GAME_10". These are the saved game folders. Enter the saved game
folder that represents the game that you saved. The order of the saves
is the same as in the game. After you open the folder with your save
in it, make a back up of the "LIGLOB.DAT" file. Then, open the
original "LIGLOB.DAT" file with a text editor. You will see some
encrypted data. Press [Enter] so that
text jumps to line two and line one is clean. Then, insert
FF FF 7f in the line one over the
encrypted data and save the file. Then, start the game, load the saved
game, and enter your base. You should now have $1,713,399,398.
Hints & Tips
Save Elerium When you finish building a new ship, load it with the weapons.
When it is totally charged and ready for flight, transfer it to
another base. When it reachs the base, immediately send it out on
patrol. Click on the ship and you will see that its fuel is 0%. That
means it will not run out of fuel. Make sure that when you send the
ship out on patrol, send it to the opposite side of the planet or a
long way from your base. This will allow you to catch the ship after
it attacks the enemy before it can return home. This is best done with
the FireStorm craft. They are cheap and fast to build. The firepower
is just as good as the Avenger, which cost more and takes a lot longer
to build.
Always do terror sites during the day When you happen to target a terror site or crashed UFO with a
ship, it will not disappear, giving you time to get to it. If a terror
site is in the darkness, send Interceptors one after the other to it.
Hopefully, enough time will have gone by to get the terror or crash
site in the daylight.
A easier way to avoid night time terror missions
is knowing that as long as the terror site is targeted, and whatever
has it targeted is moving towards it when the hour changes, it will
stay there always. For example, if you need to buy yourself a few
hours before it is light out at the site, put your Skyranger on
patrol. A few minutes prior to the hour ending, target the terror site
again. Then as soon as the hour changes go back on patrol.
Free manufacturing First select the item to be manufactured, but assign no engineers
and leave the number to produce at zero. Then, assign as many
engineers as you like but only manufacture one item. You can use tanks
with this trick to make a lot of money.
