How to Edit Save File

Сrеdit gоеs to Falcon_BR !

Open the game and save it on the campaign map, naming it ‘test’ or ‘cheat’ to avoid confusion with your original save.

While the game is still open (or closed), navigate to:

• \Documents\my games\Terminator Dark Fate\profiles\your steam number\saves

Your save games will have names like:

2cd041349530ca822c40de73e1fd1049.sav

Sort them by date and check if the file size is approximately 40-60 KB. Mission saves are larger (around 70-100 MB) and more challenging to edit.

Open the save file using Notepad++ or Notepad, ensuring there’s no automatic line breaker to avoid save corruption.

Press Ctrl+F and enter your supplies or goodwill value (e.g., 189157 for supplies, 6857 for goodwill).

Edit the values, but avoid excessive changes. A safe range could be up to 900,000 supplies and 90,000 goodwill, which is sufficient to complete the game.

Save the file!

Load the game and confirm if the new values are reflected.
