Save file modification

[kubo]

When you open a save file you see some normal text and some gibberish text. But the gibberish text isn't just nonsense, they are actual words coded in base64. By editing the values you can cheat items or money, recover corrupted save files, rename your kittens and much more! To encode/decode base64 i recommend this website: base64 encode/decode (https://www.base64decode.org/).

WARNING:DONT MODIFY YOUR SAVE FILE UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING. IF YOU MESS IT UP IT MAY CORRUPT YOUR SAVE FILE. ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE MODIFYING YOUR SAVE FILE!!! 

How to modify save file:
1. Open folder where are your cattails saves stored. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Cattails
2. Backup the save you want to modify!
3. Open the file Cattails_Data<number>.ini
4. Find value what you want to modify. For example: PlayerName
5. Open www.base64encode.org/
6. Copy the value and decode it to see if it is a number or text.
7. Switch to encode mode(on the website) and type the new value in the encoder.
8. Click the >Encode< button.
9. Copy the encoded value and replace the old one with the new. PlayerName="S3Vibw==" –––-> PlayerName="U3VwZXJDYXQ="
    The quotation marks are important dont forget them!
10.Now save the changes, start the game and open your save file

If the game didnt crash when trying to load your save, you probably did it right.

I know no one will reply to this, but this would be a REALLY interesting thread if anyone would reply.

QUICK WARNING: You cannot modify your Mews, Mole Cash, or Festival Tokens with this method due to the "Currency" value (which is not modifiable with Base64). If you try to, your game will crash when attempting to load the save file.

It seems that Experience and inventory also can't be changed.

Actually you can modify literally everything in the save file, but okay.
