Zombie Exodus Safe Haven: Save Editing Guide

This is a guide that will teach you how to go about save editing for this game. The guide will try to contain as little spoiler as possible, but it might be impossible for me to skip over some of the spoilers so you are WARNED.

Also, I’d suggest you to go through the game at least once normally before attempting to cheat.

You can find the save file at:
X:\Steam\userdata\<your user id>\543980\remote

You are looking for this file:
storePSzombieexodussafehavenPSstate

You need a text editor to do save editing. You can make do with Windows’ default Notepad but I suggest Notepad++ for better backups and backtracking.

Also, make sure you back up your save files before you attempt anything, just in case things go south. You can also use this as effectively a checkpoint system.

If you want to give yourself extra time while you are at home, on the hill or at the junkyard:
Ctrl+F and look for “timecount”:
The format should be something like “timecount”:700
How this works is an hour for every 100
So 700 would be 7am, 725 would be 7:15 am, 1900 would be 7pm etc.
I find it sufficient for you to do everything if you reset the timecount to 0 (to begin the day at 12am).

For attributes:
Ctrl+F and look for “str”:
It should look something like this
“str”:100,”dex”:100,”agi”:100,”sta”:100,”cha”:100,”int”:100,”wil”:100,”per”:100,”max_str”:100,”max_dex”:100,”max_agi”:100,”max_sta”:100,”max_cha”:100,”max_int”:100,”max_wil”:100,”max_per”:100,
Very much self explanatory. If you want full attributes, you can just copy and paste the line above and replace the corresponding part in the game.

For attribute allocation:
Ctrl+F and look for “stat_pool”:
Change the number afterwards to whatever you want.
This only works when you are creating your character.

For skills:
Ctrl+F and look for “ath_level”:
It should look something like this
“ath_level”:”7″,”athletics”:”100″,”m_athletics”:”100″,”ath_value”:8,”ccw_level”:”7″,”ccw”:”100″,”ccw_value”:8,”cook_level”:”7″,”cooking”:”100″,”cook_value”:8,”craft_level”:”7″,”crafting”:”100″,”m_crafting”:”100″,”craft_value”:8,”drive_level”:”7″,”driving”:”100″,”drive_value”:8,”ele_level”:”7″,”electronics”:”100″,”ele_value”:8,”emp_level”:”7″,”empathy”:”100″,”emp_value”:8,”hth_level”:”7″,”hth”:”100″,”hth_value”:8,”int_level”:”7″,”intimidation”:”100″,”m_intimidation”:120,”int_value”:7,”lead_level”:”7″,”leadership”:”100″,”m_leadership”:110,”lead_value”:7,”med_level”:”7″,”medicine”:”100″,”med_value”:8,”pers_level”:”7″,”persuasion”:”100″,”m_persuasion”:”100″,”pers_value”:8,”rang_level”:”7″,”ranged”:”100″,”rang_value”:8,”scav_level”:”7″,”scavenging”:”100″,”scav_value”:8,”sci_level”:”7″,”science”:”100″,”sci_value”:8,”sea_level”:”7″,”search”:”100″,”sea_value”:8,”stealth_level”:”7″,”stealth”:”100″,”m_stealth”:”100″,”stealth_value”:8,”surv_level”:”7″,”survival”:”100″,”m_survival”:”100″,”surv_value”:8,
Very much self explanatory. If you want full perks, you can just copy and paste the line above and replace the corresponding part in the game. If not, you can do whatever edits you want.

For amount of skill points available:
Ctrl+F and look for “skill_points”:
It should look something like this
“skill_points”: 5
Change it to whatever you want when you are prompted to allocate skills

To edit money:
Ctrl+F and look for “w_money”:
It should look something like this:
“w_money”:6781,”bank_money”:”3201″
Self explanatory, the first one is the cash you hold and the second one is for money reserved in the bank.

After you edit the file, exit the game and go back in. Your modifications should be in place.

To get items:
Ctrl+F and look for the keyword of the item you want to modify
Say you want to get more electric parts, look for “electric_parts”:
So on and so on. Find the item you want and change the number afterwards.

Are you tired of not having enough manpower working on junkyard improvements?
Ctrl+F and look for “task_chores”:
You will see a bunch of tasks after this, just change the numbers to whatever you want. I went with changing them to the maximum available so I don’t know if the game will bug out if you put a thousand people working on the tasks.

Tired of the small junkyard?
Ctrl+F and look for “junkyard_space”:
Change the number afterwards to something like 1000 (which is the maximum and you don’t need more)

To befriend or be-enemy a survivor:
Ctrl+F and look for “<survivor name>_faction”:
So say you want to look for relationship with Woody, search for “woody_faction”:
Change the number after it
