Phantom Brigade – How to Edit Save Game

A guide that explains how to make you able to pick ALL salvage from a mission and getting max supplies the game allows.

What you need

You need someway to edit .yaml bestanden, “Kladblok ++” is good program for that.
You also need a way to open .zip bestanden, “7zip” is a decent option.

Now your set, next step, editing.

Time for editing…

Eerst, you need to have a save game, so go play for a bit, once you have a bit of downtime, save the game, and remember to give the save game a simple name. Leuk vinden “Clown soup“. Bijvoorbeeld.
It’s unique enough that it’s easy to find.
(Voor deze gids, I’ll assume you gave the save game that name.)

Navigeer naar ” C:\ Users\ ****\ AppData\ Local\ PhantomBrigade\ Saves\ Clown Soup “.
Open de “Content.Zip”

De “difficulty.yaml” Is rather explanatory, but lets edit at least 2 values here for our benefit.
Change the following settings to 99.0:

• combat_salvage_budget_defeat
• combat_salvage_budget_victory

This’ll allow you to take all items from the battle field, either when you get defeated or win.

Save the file and update the “content.zip” (You may need to exit Notepad++) for the zip to get updated.

Next we gonna set our supplies/salvage value to 10.000 (MAX as far as I have seen in the game…)
Open “content.zip” again and then open “OverworldEntities” and look for “squad_mobilebase.yaml“, and open that file.

Scroll down just a little bit till you see something like:

inventaris:
benodigdheden: #
resources:
battery: ###
repair_juice: ###
benodigdheden: ###
charges:

I replaced the numbers with # in this example, as the values will most likely be different from my game to your game.

Now set “Supplies” value to 11000 .
(Ernstig, there is no point in going nuts with a lot of 9s, the game seems to cap the amount at 10.000. Maybe max amount will change with upgrades, later?)

Sla het bestand op, close Notepad++, If using 7zip, it should now ask you if you would like to update/overwrite the edited file, just click yes.

You CAN update “metadata.yaml” to reflect the new amount of supplies you got, but there is no point.

Klaar.

Extra

There might be more fun things you can edit in the save file, such as the bonuses the weapons / mech parts has. I have not tried that, not really interested to try either.
ik bedoel, once you have taken over 3-4 territories, you should have both Uncommon and Rare supplies.
Zodra je dat doet, just save game edit yourself to 10k of each, now just go upgrade your base.
Then go build some rare body parts for your mechs, and kick some cake or something.

You’ll be zipping around the map in no time. And hey, if the overheating stuff is annoying, just change the difficulty settings to some outrageous values to benefit yourself, and have more fun.
Setting overheat to only 10% is effectively the same as turning it off. You can rapid fire and dash about without worry of overheating. Ever.
Go experiment 😀

This does not seem to disable achievements either, sooo… veel plezier?

I know I am have loads of fun!
