It was indeed a year ago that I rage quit because despite full setup and preparation, hunting rifle and all, high position etc, a mammoth killed me in the middle of nowhere. Now that I am older and more mature, I tried the game again and still love it. I was expecting to see my character and was prepared to do the run in the artic to get my stuff back. Very surprised my character was not there and I had to start a new one. Grinding takes time, but I feel entitled to the workshop items I had. So thanks for this. I will still be levelling up myself, but I am happy I can at least get my hard-fought workshop items back again. Please keep making your videos
Wow! I remember when the game first came out. I had to use a Cheat Program (I don't remember which one) to change all the numbers inside the files because we didn't have access to our files like this. My first character was hacked like this, but like you had mentioned, I think it really does take away from the self-accolades of knowing that you've earned the Ren and Exotics, and levels through gameplay instead of cheating. But that's just MHO. Great video, as always.
It does I agree. But I know a ton of people lost everything when they came back to the game and bugs make people lose full load outs still lost one a few weeks ago. I love playing the game legit tbh. Thanks for watching!
I've been using all these ideas and I still really enjoy the game! Have been using them for about 1 month now everyday. I would say go for it and if for some reason you don't enjoy the game anymore, just revert back to the old saved file
For anyone who doesn't actually want to cheat the system and edit their save file (completely ok btw), you can do that mission he mentioned for 25 credit, but put it on hard mode for 38 each time. Time may vary slightly depending on your pc, but for me it takes 100 seconds for a round trip, from door opening to door opening. 38 credits each trip thats 1,254 credits / hour with 33 trips total.
@@matachestefan639 Because it is using existing game mechanics. A cheat overrides or bypasses game mechanics. For example, there is no way withing the game, to just edit a save file and giver yourself skill points or credits. But starting a mission, and then quitting, does happen withing the game using intended game mechanics, though in a likely unintended manner. It would be similar to getting a job in real life, then quitting as soon as you can to simply collect unemployment, or going to interviews while on unemployment just to tank it on purpose to ensure you are not actually offered the job. I'm not saying that is something anyone should do, but the fact that you can replicate something similar in the game to what people actually do in real life, certainly puts it well outside the realm of a cheat.
I wonder if it's worth it to lose your time doing the most repetitive tasks just to not be labeled as a cheater. Although cheating also has its downsides, since the game can lose all the meaning of progression to you. Survival craft games depend a lot on the sense of progression to be fun, especially playing solo.

I have not been on this game in a long time due to the lost characters, just reinstalled it and followed along but I do not see profile in appdata/local/Icarus/saved/playerdata/steamid/profile. When I went into the game and clicked play it never prompted a data migration for the account. Tried deleting and reinstalling but nothing has resolved this. Any helpful ideas would be great. I still had the last created character on prospect but idk..
So the data migrations is no longer a thing and this video is really due for an update which ill do soon. As far as the profile missing have you dropped down and completed a mission or started an open world since coming back? Most the files and etc. are usually created through playing so maybe that could be it. LMK if you can get it or contact me on our discord and I can help yah if you want.
Instead of searching all those files and get into your appdata just go to run and type in appdata, it will open up an explorer window and you'll be in your folder simple
There is a section in the description that gives the values if you don’t have the currency already. You have to have them to modify them or put that in the folder
Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate the devs giving people the ability to own their data. I didn't realize that this was the case as I thought it was still like other live service games. I really wanted to respec my character after all that I learned playing the game. You mentioned modding capability; will check your channel but do you have any quality of life mods you suggest?
I got to the part where I can change the inputs (5:18 in your video). It wont let me change them. How do I open it in notepad or ++? Great video and great work.
I don't understand what went wrong I made a backup I got my character to level 60 played a couple missions for exotics and everything I buy doesn't go to my load out and I can't repair anything in my load out??? I tried putting the original file back in and I'm back to lvl 49 and still same issue where everything I buy doesn't show up and it still takes my credits and exotics!!!! Plzzzzz help
Well seeing as the devs decided to wipe my data because I apparently took a hiatus at the wrong time. I will be using this technique to rebuild my 30M+ experience account with over 20k ren/ exotics.
not sure if this is still monitored by the uploader but I have a question about the talents, I followed everything, everything worked perfectly, what I don't understand is when I right click a talent and refund it, I get that point back, I gave myself 10,000 talent points, how do I use them? when I refund everything I get back no where near enough to use, yet I have 10,000 respect points and only a character level 50 points to use, I am missing something that I do not see covered in the video can someone please give me a clue?
So this video just shows you how to get re-spec points not MORE talent points. Re-spec points lets you take back spent talent points and can be unlimited. There is a way to get every talent in the game, thus giving you over the recommended talent points. The devs probably will hate me for saying this but what you do is spend a talent point into the thing you want, then refund the point with re-spec points. When you go into your characters.json (MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP 100% Not kidding on this one. You can seriously screw up your character...) you will see all your character names in the blob text there with lines and lines of text & blob code. Find the characters name you want to modify (you can use ctrl + F and type your characters name in the find next box) then you will see some text that looks like this. "Gathering_Corpse_Movement_0\", \t\t\t\"Rank\": 0\ Changing the rank from 0-3 depending on how many that talent has or how many points you can go into it will give you this talent back, and not spend a talent point. But its a ton of hunting for ones with the value 0 then changing them to the max rank. Best way when doing this method is un-spec all the talents (with your 10,000 re-spec points) then spec into ones you haven't done before, or want. Once you spec into it once it stays in your character.json but just has a value of 0 instead of 1-3 etc. Hope this helped. But of course may ruin your Icarus experience. But that's up to you :P
@@LateNightStream ok thank you, this should be easy for me I have only the one character i'll try this, and for me personally it will not ruin my icarus experience
Couldn't you just type the needed code in the JSON file by hand and it still work? Unless the file has some kind of verification (which would make the videos method not work anyway) it shouldn't know the difference between Human entered data and generated data. If I recall, the spacing in the JSON file text is for Human readability and not required for the computer/game to function. Can anyone confirm this works via typing in the JSON code?
excellent video, i am new to the game, so obviously not going to do. As that makes it no reason to play but nice to know if as you say a game get corrupted or what ever happens. got a like and sub from me.
I feel dirty, but I did this to unlock the gathering backpack, a axe and pickaxe, deep mining scanner and the drop ship recall, then reset it back to what I had. Won’t do again. Still have plenty of stuff I want to unlock
I dont get a lot of github uploaded. I had to figure out even how to download them... which isn't as intuitive as you'd think. Then what I downloaded didn't even have a launcher.
Thx for this guide m8. I just cant seem to find any way to just add talent points. I dont understand why in this survival game I cant have all the talents. I usually take exactly the same talents and never go for anything else which takes away from the game in my opinion.
You can technically have ever single talent in the game on one character if you really wanted to with just editing the json but the devs frown upon that. I know how to do it but it does seem kinda of cheesy but to each their own 😀 thanks for watching!
is it possible to get more death reappears in a mission? i died to an boss encounter 2 times and now is my character stuck. Dont wanna cheat, i just dont wanna wait on a friend to join and revive me. Thx

Hey great question. I have an answer! Just give yourself a TON of XP and You will have a ton of Tech Tree Points! If you want just a ton of Tech Tree Points give yourself like 40000000 XP then load the game again. Here is the time line for that again 06:29 its the same concept just put in 40 million instead of what the video says and you will have lots of tech Tree points. That's because when your that much XP on your character you have leveled tons after level 50 thus more tech points. I know this because my guys at 43,011,583 Hope that helped!.
Hello, I have already 3 character level 80 - 90 minimum I think... Is there any possibility to unlock solo talent? I know there is a mod to unlock normal talent, but not solo. Thank you for your help.
So that you can respec your solo talents? Solo talents are unlocked when your by yourself and you get solo points while you level. Buying or giving yourself talent respect points or refund points can be used to respec your solo talent tree as well.
@@LateNightStream Thank you for your answer. I may have miss writting my question. At level 50, we have 25 solo talent point if I'm not mistaken. 25 points are not enough to get all the solo talent. I know there is a mod to "uncap" the talent point so we still have 1 talent point every level after level 50. Is there a mod or a technique (modify json for instance) to still get solo talent point even after level 50? or just be able to have all the solo talent points? Hope it's clearer. Thanks for your content !
@@MrHoteiGoom there was a bug where you could get unlimited talent points or sometimes your character could get more points and I had a character at one point without knowing that had 75 points but 25 solo. I think there is a way but I’ve not heard or seen how without mods. I’m sorry 😞 but thanks for watching 😀
In PlayerData folder open Characters . json with any notepad editor. Now search find for Solo_ word..these are the solo talent points. change it according to game's single talent highest rank ,e.g, 1, 2 or three for the specific talent.
I changed my lvl and currency since i lost my maxed out old account and now whenever u try to board the dropship to leave mission it just says saving still in progress and wont leave?
using notepad instead notepad++ is like asking to be killed :D btw thx tho I logged to game after long time and was like ok where is my character, I thought I went through decentralization cuz I played it when I was injured and on sick leave in January, since than I only bought new GPU no other changes to HW and SW, so probably some bug took my char :( now I will have some with ultimate char with all talents etc, cuz I am super pissed(that I lost my char) and need some fun
Yah not gonna lie I’ve been thinking about making a super character with all talents just for testing which, I do a lot of 😂 yah a lot of people have told me they lost whole sets of characters! It’s crazy! Your right ++ is better but I’ve gotten away without downloading it but I’ve only used it like twice for bugs so definitely get ++ for sure. Have fun with the new character 😀 and thanks for watching!
@@jackskellington9475 you would just need to accept the local save instead of the cloud one as the cloud one would have the old values and local would have new ones. I just checked and this is still working it seems so maybe that was it.
I googled this after getting hit by a random in a public server. 3 of us were mining exotics then this dude comes out of nowhere and pvps us. He was level 0 with max everything and dropped with all the good stuff including a bunch of ballistic arrows..... This ruins the public experience and opens doors for trolls.
People have been spawning in exotics since release really. They had wemod and other mods not long after release I seen a dude with a million credits two days after release. People gonna do what they want to I guess. It could have been a new alt they used to troll people on public servers. Join ours. We don’t tolerate that 😀
I've been playing hard mode most of my time in Icarus. Screw it, I'm cheesing the game.. All I want to do is build now. Tired of killing...for a little while anyways.. 😉
Good stuff man. I'm like you and don't really care to modify my bank accounts in the game. BUT.... there may come a point where this game has run its course with me and I don't have the desire to grind anymore. And maybe the devs put a brand new workshop item in that costs 1400 exotics to make and I have no interest in mining exotics to get it. At that point. I may give this method a whirl and cut some corners. Thanks for the vid.
Then make a back up. Add a talent with talent points then take it away with a respec point. You’ll see that in your character folder then you can adjust it back to 3-4 whatever it was and you can have all talents or who knows maybe someone would give you the copy of theirs. It’s possible but me personally I’ll pass.
ME so bored to run around to collect COPPEr😂 it takes me 2h to collect 600 ores aka 300 copper wires😂 now am just gona buy some copper in the workshop instead 😂
Yep it basically creates a sandbox mode. And they keep adding more resource packs too. I will say though id only do this after you get bored with the game, but hey I don't judge. It's your game do as you wish =)
Just recently got the game and while impressed with the look of the game. My gripe is how they treat a new player. What part of a space agency would send untrained people to Mars? I get the leveling system, but why lock it behind XP when the person should have already trained on all of this stuff. Why not make the knowledge or tech unlock when you find the respective resource. Yeah, the leveling would be faster and not seem to be locked behind a grind wall. I am not sure why game insist on doing this. Making an astronaut who trained for years do research or "unlock" their brain with XP. It doesn't make any logical since. I would possably use this just to get past the first hours of grind it takes to even make it past what I would call "cave man tech", I get the reason it's in the game and where they are coming from on an angle. The logic doesn't mesh with my brain. 🤷♂🤦♂🤔😑
{ "MetaRow": "Credits", "Count": 5745 }, { "MetaRow": "Exotic1", "Count": 1242 }, { "MetaRow": "Refund", "Count": 28 }, { "MetaRow": "Exotic_Red", "Count": 1113 } ], That Red Exotic Part is what you would add. Either that or get some reds first then just edit it.
There is a mod that kinda does this, but using it disables the board that gives you open world missions. The mod allows you to get exotics as a secondary resource from mining metals from nodes.
I just wonder why the Devs put it so blatantly in clear JSON format in there, mods can be done without giving such crucial information out. It's pretty clear that what was described in this video will be done first for many people. I personally don't like it as I want to play the game how the Devs designed it, that's all the fun for me.
@@AndreasWest your more than welcome to play as you wish. So are others. I personally don’t use this either, but don’t look down on others who chose to do so. They are the ones who must make a choice with the game they purchased, and how they want to play their game. Personally what people do in this game since it’s not a pvp game doesn’t concern me, since people have been modding and changing this game since launch. Way before decentralization and this video. Had this one dude with 1 million exotics two weeks after release send me a screen shot of it. Decentralization didn’t change anything and honestly neither will this video. People are gonna do what they want and they must live with those choices.
@@LateNightStream Good response, I have a level 50, 23 & 18 characters. I won't be using this but don't begrudge others playing the way they want. Self-regulate & exercise self-control is all it takes. If I need a resus I don't care if old mate has cheesed it. thanks for the vids man.
@@Bintangwarrior Thanks for watching man =) Self control is hard for some, but I understand. I truly get why some people may want this and why some don't.
The way the Elanthium exotics were handled in this game was a huge let down. Probably the biggest reason the game became un-interesting. There nothing to work towards when you know you can just get unlimited it kind of defeats any purpose of playing and it takes the fun out of trying.
That’s not entirely true. Do like me and just work for exotics etc I have legit farms on the channel also that I personally use and even though I’ve changed all this for the video I changed it all back because it’s not fun that way to me at least. But I would be silly if I said everyone feels like I do about it so here we are 😀
@@LateNightStream i understand some people don't have time to devote to earning exotics but the whole premise of the game was to slowly acquire them over time. If there is a fast option even if choosing not to do it is possible just knowing it's possible to do kinda ruins the game (for me) and makes me not wanna play with the greater community on missions any. I don't care if I'm in the minority opinion on this either.
And I know you been a content creator for the game since the first beta tests, I've followed your reddit posts since then anyways. So I ain't upset that you're sharing this or making content.
@@Cipher_8 yah I’m actually getting ready to make another remade video for newer players and how to get their first exotics on deep vein. I keep trying to make content for the game but views always go down 😢 thanks for watching though and for over a year too 😀 plus I don’t always have a lot of time due to rl
Alright. Honestly thou that’s because you chose to let it ruin the game for you. You can choose not to do this also, it’s always your choice. The devs gave us full access to our files because they wanted people to have a choice and an easy way to troubleshoot the game and manage mods. Just last night I lost a whole load out again to bugs two years in. Most people see the negative in everything and choose to overlook the potential or positive. Like people getting characters back after a hard drive failure since we now own our data or not doing the decentralization in time and coming back to the game with nothing. Play the way you want.

Instead of searching all those files and get into your appdata just go to run and type in appdata, it will open up an explorer window and you'll be in your folder simple
correct this works for some.
I can’t change any numbers to change the amount
There is a section in the description that gives the values if you don’t have the currency already. You have to have them to modify them or put that in the folder
Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate the devs giving people the ability to own their data. I didn't realize that this was the case as I thought it was still like other live service games. I really wanted to respec my character after all that I learned playing the game. You mentioned modding capability; will check your channel but do you have any quality of life mods you suggest?
Thanks for watching. I personally don’t mod though so I don’t have any suggestions.
I got to the part where I can change the inputs (5:18 in your video). It wont let me change them. How do I open it in notepad or ++? Great video and great work.
Thanks! You should be able to just right click and edit the json file in notepad. Then just save it.
I don't understand what went wrong I made a backup I got my character to level 60 played a couple missions for exotics and everything I buy doesn't go to my load out and I can't repair anything in my load out??? I tried putting the original file back in and I'm back to lvl 49 and still same issue where everything I buy doesn't show up and it still takes my credits and exotics!!!! Plzzzzz help
That’s an odd bug. Try verifying files and restarting the game let me know if that helps.
Well seeing as the devs decided to wipe my data because I apparently took a hiatus at the wrong time. I will be using this technique to rebuild my 30M+ experience account with over 20k ren/ exotics.
Glad we could help! Sorry you lost your characters to decentralization 😞
not sure if this is still monitored by the uploader but I have a question about the talents, I followed everything, everything worked perfectly, what I don't understand is when I right click a talent and refund it, I get that point back, I gave myself 10,000 talent points, how do I use them? when I refund everything I get back no where near enough to use, yet I have 10,000 respect points and only a character level 50 points to use, I am missing something that I do not see covered in the video can someone please give me a clue?
So this video just shows you how to get re-spec points not MORE talent points. Re-spec points lets you take back spent talent points and can be unlimited. There is a way to get every talent in the game, thus giving you over the recommended talent points. The devs probably will hate me for saying this but what you do is spend a talent point into the thing you want, then refund the point with re-spec points. When you go into your characters.json (MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP 100% Not kidding on this one. You can seriously screw up your character...) you will see all your character names in the blob text there with lines and lines of text & blob code. Find the characters name you want to modify (you can use ctrl + F and type your characters name in the find next box) then you will see some text that looks like this.
"Gathering_Corpse_Movement_0\",
\t\t\t\"Rank\": 0\ Changing the rank from 0-3 depending on how many that talent has or how many points you can go into it will give you this talent back, and not spend a talent point.
But its a ton of hunting for ones with the value 0 then changing them to the max rank. Best way when doing this method is un-spec all the talents (with your 10,000 re-spec points) then spec into ones you haven't done before, or want. Once you spec into it once it stays in your character.json but just has a value of 0 instead of 1-3 etc.
Hope this helped. But of course may ruin your Icarus experience. But that's up to you :P
@@LateNightStream ok thank you, this should be easy for me I have only the one character i'll try this, and for me personally it will not ruin my icarus experience
Couldn't you just type the needed code in the JSON file by hand and it still work? Unless the file has some kind of verification (which would make the videos method not work anyway) it shouldn't know the difference between Human entered data and generated data. If I recall, the spacing in the JSON file text is for Human readability and not required for the computer/game to function. Can anyone confirm this works via typing in the JSON code?
You can check the pinned comment for that 😀
Any way to reset open world missions in these files? Like mark them from “1” to “0”?
I'm sure there is a way, but ill admit I don't know how. Maybe someone here will see this and know.
excellent video, i am new to the game, so obviously not going to do. As that makes it no reason to play but nice to know if as you say a game get corrupted or what ever happens. got a like and sub from me.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it =)
If im on a server expedition and i cange this and thenm join what happens?
Don’t really matter what you play on server, or self hosted this works. All characters are saved locally now
I feel dirty, but I did this to unlock the gathering backpack, a axe and pickaxe, deep mining scanner and the drop ship recall, then reset it back to what I had. Won’t do again. Still have plenty of stuff I want to unlock
Well just save it in case you need it or lose everything to a drive failure or something. I personally don’t use it, but to each their own.
Any chance for an update showing how to unlock the new red exotics?
They are the same way. Get red exotics then just edit the same file

thank u so much!!!! do u know how to add the new currency "red exotic" using this method?
Yep you can, just like the others. Just have to get reds first
I dont get a lot of github uploaded. I had to figure out even how to download them... which isn't as intuitive as you'd think. Then what I downloaded didn't even have a launcher.
Um
@@LateNightStream i clicked "Translate to English," to see if this was more helpful.
nope. I have since figured it out on my own.
Thx for this guide m8. I just cant seem to find any way to just add talent points. I dont understand why in this survival game I cant have all the talents. I usually take exactly the same talents and never go for anything else which takes away from the game in my opinion.
You can technically have ever single talent in the game on one character if you really wanted to with just editing the json but the devs frown upon that. I know how to do it but it does seem kinda of cheesy but to each their own 😀 thanks for watching!
just getting back into the game and damn thats nice of them but i also dont condone this but i hope people can start making mods that would be cool
Welcome back 😀yah I’ve never been into mods but there are a few out there for it just not many.
Can you also show how to edit red currency?
It works the same way. Once you get it.
I have a question brother , is it possible to get vac-banned from chaning this or is it safe ?

is it possible to get more death reappears in a mission? i died to an boss encounter 2 times and now is my character stuck. Dont wanna cheat, i just dont wanna wait on a friend to join and revive me. Thx
Not that I've seen. Doesn't mean its not there I just don't know the answer to that one. I apologize.

You can have as many characters as you wish after the decentralization update.

Is there a json or ini that you can edit to force respawn of resources on outpost? I've heard several talk about it but unable to find how to do it.
Hey not that I've seen or heard about. But If I find out I'll let you guys know :P That would be cool to do.
Where did you hear this out of curiosity
@Late_Night_Stream another youtuber mentioned it in one of his videos Kage848 and I saw a post on Reddit but cannot find it now

Use your backup you made and just put it back in there
With that can i reset or add tech points?
Hey great question. I have an answer! Just give yourself a TON of XP and You will have a ton of Tech Tree Points! If you want just a ton of Tech Tree Points give yourself like 40000000 XP then load the game again. Here is the time line for that again 06:29 its the same concept just put in 40 million instead of what the video says and you will have lots of tech Tree points. That's because when your that much XP on your character you have leveled tons after level 50 thus more tech points. I know this because my guys at 43,011,583 Hope that helped!.
@@LateNightStream thank u
@@ghostwarrior6 yw
Thank you, I lost a couple of max level characters is it going to make starting over much easier.
Yes it will! Thanks for watching 😀
Hello, I have already 3 character level 80 - 90 minimum I think...
Is there any possibility to unlock solo talent? I know there is a mod to unlock normal talent, but not solo.
Thank you for your help.
So that you can respec your solo talents? Solo talents are unlocked when your by yourself and you get solo points while you level. Buying or giving yourself talent respect points or refund points can be used to respec your solo talent tree as well.
@@LateNightStream Thank you for your answer.
I may have miss writting my question. At level 50, we have 25 solo talent point if I'm not mistaken. 25 points are not enough to get all the solo talent.
I know there is a mod to "uncap" the talent point so we still have 1 talent point every level after level 50.
Is there a mod or a technique (modify json for instance) to still get solo talent point even after level 50? or just be able to have all the solo talent points?
Hope it's clearer.
Thanks for your content !
@@MrHoteiGoom there was a bug where you could get unlimited talent points or sometimes your character could get more points and I had a character at one point without knowing that had 75 points but 25 solo. I think there is a way but I’ve not heard or seen how without mods. I’m sorry 😞 but thanks for watching 😀
In PlayerData folder open Characters . json with any notepad editor. Now search find for Solo_ word..these are the solo talent points. change it according to game's single talent highest rank ,e.g, 1, 2 or three for the specific talent.
@@MrKhan-ox4jg Thanks for clearing that up man =)

What’s the data for red exotics?

I changed my lvl and currency since i lost my maxed out old account and now whenever u try to board the dropship to leave mission it just says saving still in progress and wont leave?
Pretty sure that bugs been around for a while but it should still leave. I’d try relaunching the game that usually fixes it for me.
Good for backup but rather do the missions to unlock.

using notepad instead notepad++ is like asking to be killed :D btw thx tho I logged to game after long time and was like ok where is my character, I thought I went through decentralization cuz I played it when I was injured and on sick leave in January, since than I only bought new GPU no other changes to HW and SW, so probably some bug took my char :( now I will have some with ultimate char with all talents etc, cuz I am super pissed(that I lost my char) and need some fun
Yah not gonna lie I’ve been thinking about making a super character with all talents just for testing which, I do a lot of 😂 yah a lot of people have told me they lost whole sets of characters! It’s crazy! Your right ++ is better but I’ve gotten away without downloading it but I’ve only used it like twice for bugs so definitely get ++ for sure.

Did you load the cloud save by accident maybe?
@@LateNightStream possibly would i just have turn off cloud sync or sum?
@@jackskellington9475 you would just need to accept the local save instead of the cloud one as the cloud one would have the old values and local would have new ones. I just checked and this is still working it seems so maybe that was it.

@@LateNightStream i disabled cloud sync but still is not working idk what else i can do

You can just run stockpile cured meats for 700 ren. Takes about 7 mins.
Yah you can for sure. However you want to get the Ren =)
Honestly found the “glitch” by accident lol now if I die I rage run it to make up for my items lol
I googled this after getting hit by a random in a public server. 3 of us were mining exotics then this dude comes out of nowhere and pvps us. He was level 0 with max everything and dropped with all the good stuff including a bunch of ballistic arrows..... This ruins the public experience and opens doors for trolls.
People have been spawning in exotics since release really. They had wemod and other mods not long after release I seen a dude with a million credits two days after release. People gonna do what they want to I guess. It could have been a new alt they used to troll people on public servers. Join ours. We don’t tolerate that 😀
I've been playing hard mode most of my time in Icarus. Screw it, I'm cheesing the game.. All I want to do is build now. Tired of killing...for a little while anyways.. 😉
Going to keep but not use unless I loss a character.
That's kind of my use of it tbh. Thanks for your comment! =)
Good stuff man. I'm like you and don't really care to modify my bank accounts in the game. BUT.... there may come a point where this game has run its course with me and I don't have the desire to grind anymore. And maybe the devs put a brand new workshop item in that costs 1400 exotics to make and I have no interest in mining exotics to get it. At that point. I may give this method a whirl and cut some corners. Thanks for the vid.
Hey man thanks for watching the video! That sounds like a plan =)
im thinking about giving myslef all talents. i like this game and i wanna get credits and ren legit butttttt i want all taleennnnttts
Then make a back up. Add a talent with talent points then take it away with a respec point. You’ll see that in your character folder then you can adjust it back to 3-4 whatever it was and you can have all talents or who knows maybe someone would give you the copy of theirs. It’s possible but me personally I’ll pass.
ME so bored to run around to collect COPPEr😂 it takes me 2h to collect 600 ores aka 300 copper wires😂 now am just gona buy some copper in the workshop instead 😂
Yep it basically creates a sandbox mode. And they keep adding more resource packs too. I will say though id only do this after you get bored with the game, but hey I don't judge. It's your game do as you wish =)
thx!!!!!!!!!!!
Anytime!
Just recently got the game and while impressed with the look of the game. My gripe is how they treat a new player. What part of a space agency would send untrained people to Mars? I get the leveling system, but why lock it behind XP when the person should have already trained on all of this stuff. Why not make the knowledge or tech unlock when you find the respective resource. Yeah, the leveling would be faster and not seem to be locked behind a grind wall. I am not sure why game insist on doing this. Making an astronaut who trained for years do research or "unlock" their brain with XP. It doesn't make any logical since. I would possably use this just to get past the first hours of grind it takes to even make it past what I would call "cave man tech", I get the reason it's in the game and where they are coming from on an angle. The logic doesn't mesh with my brain. 🤷♂🤦♂🤔😑
@@JAY-fq7sb the game was meant to be much harder then it is today. That’s for sure.

That Red Exotic Part is what you would add. Either that or get some reds first then just edit it.
Now we need to find out where to turn on spawns for exotics for open world so I don't feel like a cheat 🤣😂
Lol so far this is the only way I know of. No exotics in open world 🥹
There is a mod that kinda does this, but using it disables the board that gives you open world missions. The mod allows you to get exotics as a secondary resource from mining metals from nodes.
Wow, this text modifying makes the entire Game pointless😅Thanks for the Video Mate.
Thanks for watching! 😀
I just wonder why the Devs put it so blatantly in clear JSON format in there, mods can be done without giving such crucial information out. It's pretty clear that what was described in this video will be done first for many people. I personally don't like it as I want to play the game how the Devs designed it, that's all the fun for me.
@@AndreasWest your more than welcome to play as you wish. So are others. I personally don’t use this either, but don’t look down on others who chose to do so. They are the ones who must make a choice with the game they purchased, and how they want to play their game. Personally what people do in this game since it’s not a pvp game doesn’t concern me, since people have been modding and changing this game since launch. Way before decentralization and this video. Had this one dude with 1 million exotics two weeks after release send me a screen shot of it. Decentralization didn’t change anything and honestly neither will this video. People are gonna do what they want and they must live with those choices.

It does not work brother idfk what ur talkin about but changed it saved and nothing what so ever so bs
Yah it works
The way the Elanthium exotics were handled in this game was a huge let down. Probably the biggest reason the game became un-interesting. There nothing to work towards when you know you can just get unlimited it kind of defeats any purpose of playing and it takes the fun out of trying.
That’s not entirely true. Do like me and just work for exotics etc I have legit farms on the channel also that I personally use and even though I’ve changed all this for the video I changed it all back because it’s not fun that way to me at least. But I would be silly if I said everyone feels like I do about it so here we are 😀
@@LateNightStream i understand some people don't have time to devote to earning exotics but the whole premise of the game was to slowly acquire them over time. If there is a fast option even if choosing not to do it is possible just knowing it's possible to do kinda ruins the game (for me) and makes me not wanna play with the greater community on missions any. I don't care if I'm in the minority opinion on this either.
And I know you been a content creator for the game since the first beta tests, I've followed your reddit posts since then anyways. So I ain't upset that you're sharing this or making content.
@@Cipher_8 yep I get that
@@Cipher_8 yah I’m actually getting ready to make another remade video for newer players and how to get their first exotics on deep vein. I keep trying to make content for the game but views always go down 😢 thanks for watching though and for over a year too 😀 plus I don’t always have a lot of time due to rl
After I saw this video, the game lost its fun and I don't play anymore. Why do developers let this happen?
Alright. Honestly thou that’s because you chose to let it ruin the game for you. You can choose not to do this also, it’s always your choice. The devs gave us full access to our files because they wanted people to have a choice and an easy way to troubleshoot the game and manage mods. Just last night I lost a whole load out again to bugs two years in. Most people see the negative in everything and choose to overlook the potential or positive. Like people getting characters back after a hard drive failure since we now own our data or not doing the decentralization in time and coming back to the game with nothing. Play the way you want.
I hope this comment is a joke because this was mentioned in the video lol.
This kinda ruins the game for new players and eliminates the grind experience for players. basically hacking.
Yep sure does.
