Is there a timelines unlock mod?

[atsmith66]

Has anyone made a mod to unlock the rewards for timelines?

I have played through to Graph 6 now, not enjoyed it at all, and have now completely lost the metaphoric will to live. I just can't get myself to do the remaining missions. However I do want to unlock the "rewards" bit as I'd love to play with the new capital ship and get the new sectors and faction. I mean, have paid for the DLC.

If not that's probably fine.

I have got a huge amount of joy from the sandbox game, which is brilliant, over the years so I don't begrudge them the money. Just sad I'll not be allowed to play with the new toys as things stand

You don't need a mod - just check out this thread @Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/392160/d ... 7672527594

There are two files responsible for tracking progress. The user Wraith provided those two files of his were he had unlocked everything.

Backup your 2 files before trying that out - as those track other progress as well, mostly relevant for e.g. the custom gamestart editor (budgeted))
Then copy over the files from Wraith, load your sandbox game and you should find the unlocks.

As a sidenote - if you load your most advanced save, the loading progress will update your userdata_signed.xml with the progress in your save. So at best you don't have to remove the userdata_signed.xml from Wraith anymore.

Does it make game modified?

No, because you are basically using the "signed userdata" of a user who already unlocked all the things available in Timelines. You'd only get a modified if you open the userdata_signed.xml file and alter it's content. The other file, userdata.xml can be changed without triggering the modified. As a sidenote - in that file you could e.g. unlock hidden gamestarts (like the Teladi one) among other things. Userdata.xml is basically used as a "Timelines progess save" whereas userdata_signed.xml stores the unlocks.

So using that file will affect Timeline unlocks and budgeted start money and unlocked ends of stories?

Yes

Yes

but if the signed user doesnt match up with the account thats playing couldnt that cause a modified tag? or if someone is using it and made a save after swapping those files can they confirm if they save from that point forward does it tag the game as modified?

also not sure if being online(Game setting) or not could affect it but it very well could.

Nope it works like a treat thankfully.
