SE4 Cheats

[Slick]

There are a couple of cheats listed in the manual. These can be toggled on or off when setting up a game. They will speed up construction and/or give you resources.

This is a short list of some of my least favorite ways people have cheated at SE4. All have been fixed in previous patches. You can see them in the history. It's not always spelled out in so many words, but it's there.

Wow. Never heard of any of those. Especially the one about mines. That one never even crossed my mind. I read about he SY EB cheat. But, that was a flaw in the game.

Interesting. Well, here's hoping 1.84 stays ahead of the hackers a few months...LOL

Hmmm, I turn it off all the time. Never even read what was available. About the only cheat codes I ever looked into were the ones in DOOM II (and that was done purely for level development and testing purposes).

Tks, Slick.

Cheat codes only in single player.
(Guess you all understood that anyway)

Sometimes, I really feel stupid. I just remember seeing the cheat code box and always turned it off. I never paid attention if it was always there much less what type of game it appeared in...
