To edit a savegame, go in your Documents, under Egosoft then X Rebirth, then go deeper in the folders to find the savegame one.
Make sure you backup your save before edition !!
This thread does contain spoilers. Some fix are meant to bypass bugs in the plot.
Also there is another good thread on Steam Community about editing savegames, you might find stuff there you dont find here

- Where to add an ammunition string when no ammunition tag present in your save for your ship :

- adding wares (jump fuel in that exemple) to your capital ship (in that exemple it is for the Plot contruction ship) :
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 47#4207447
note : each ware group (fuel/cargo...) has a specific <component> separate code, be sure to respect that!
Dont add a complete <connection> block, the fuel or cargo <connection> groups already exist but should be empty of wares, so add all your wares there.
Check the steamcommunity link at the top for more explanation on editing wares, since wares and fuel are treated diferently in the code.
- Exemple for 300 food rations here (entry in the middle between 2 others components to show the id variation)
Code: Select all
<component class="enginebooster" macro="enginebooster_size_l_01_macro" connection="engine" id="[0x148c30]">

- deleting a trade mission that is bugged (implies you know where to find your capital trader ship in the save), its an exemple but any similar trade will be the same
this fix should be obsolete with recent patches since you can delete the trade queue directly in game

- modifying officer/npc stats/name/physical appearance :
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 67#4211467
You can also modify copilot Yisha and even the Skunk computer Betty stats but i woulnt advise to do so.
- more cash (erm i know some people will ask for it, cheaters^^) :
its in the first lines of the file, BUT you also need to search for the current amount of cash you have in the rest of the files since your npc crews shares that info too.
It should look like this for 123456789 cash :
<player name="Ren Otani" location="{20005,45}" money="123456789"/>
and for a npc, like this
<account id="[0x3d]" amount="123456789"/>
replace all cash amount valuesby the one you want. id&location might be different for you, just replace the part for cash amount.
i'll add more to the list as i find some usefull workaround, feel free to link or post yours too !
