Hello,


I can activate/prepare the cheat and can add cobolt, water doesnt work, however, the first thing I try to buy after getting cobolt makes the game instant close.


tried multiple times, tried updating and restating. crashes everytime.


hope this can be fixed.


Thanks

Hey poison3k,

try to start both PLITCH and Steam with explicit administrator rights (right-click on the desktop icon and then "run as administrator"). Then start the game with the "PLAY" button in PLITCH. Make sure to follow the important hint in PLITCH (only load an existing savegame + open the upgrade panel with the prepare cheat activated). Then please try to use the cheats again.



I would also like to inform you that we are currently working on a known issue where not all resources work in every dome. The game does not give us much technical freedom, but we are currently investigating the issue and trying to resolve it. This is just some additional information for you.

Hello, thank you for the response.


I tried all the steps you have mentioned and its still doing the same thing.


Steam has updated the game a couple of times, I wonder if something has changed that's causing this? Is it working ok for others?

Hey poison3k,

thanks for the info. Could you let us know exactly which dome you're currently using in the game?

As Fezi already mentioned, we’re aware that the cheats don’t function reliably across all dome types. At the moment, they should work stably only with the default Laser Dome. If you're using a different dome, the cheat functions may not behave as expected or might not work at all due to differences in game mechanics or memory structure. Please try switching to the Laser Dome and let us know if the cheats work correctly there.

Thank you for the feedback. As said, we're aware of the issues with the other domes and are trying to find a solution for it. In the meantime, please stick to using the laser dome :)
