Nope.

you can mod to the point of cheating. though i dont recommend it if you don't know what your doing

lol k thx kyro and tommyth3cat i did that a minute ago tho it would be nice to mod the build speed

their is a attribute tied to build speed, i have no idea what it is though, its probably in each specific ship dat file.

No there is a universal one, hence why you can hit + and double the game speed. You can also change the speed of the game befor you go in so obviously there is some univeral quality.

Overall build speed can be modded in the gameplay.constants file. Search for buildSpeedData and change the values accordingly. Then when you start a new game, select which build speed you modded.

If you scroll down you will see the amount of Credits, Crystal, and Metal players start off with.
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH ONE YOU CHANGE. The starting positions are randomized, so change one of them to what you want, and just keep reloading the map until you get that spot.

EXAMPLE:

player
designName "NewPlayer0" <------ This is the players spot.
inGameName "NewPlayer0" <------ This is the name
overrideRaceName ""
teamIndex 0
startingCredits 3000 <------ How much Cash you start with, MAX: Unknown
startingMetal 800 <------ How much Metal you start with, MAX: Unknown
startingCrystal 250 <------ How much Crystal you start with, MAX: Unknown
isNormalPlayer TRUE <---- You are a playing character
isRaidingPlayer FALSE SEE NOTE A
isInsurgentPlayer FALSE SEE NOTE B
themeGroup ""
themeIndex 0
pictureGroup ""
pictureIndex 0

NOTE A

You do not raide automatically like the Pirates, Turn to True to make the game more interesting, but keep the bounty off yourself lol.

NOTE B

You do NOT auto spawn at opponets bases and start attacking them, Turn to True to make the game more interesting.
(Might Crash Game)

mmm i found it but im not sure what would happen if i set it to high so how high will the scale go?

That's just modding. As to the achievements, they don't unlock anything, so you're only cheating yourself out of achieving them the honest way

I dont actually use the achievements cheat because it is better to try to earn them. Its basically the only real goal of the game.

umm, i have a question, if you change the build speed in the game file, it changes all build speed for everyone, is there a way to change starting money/build speed for just a single player?

Might be possible to change starting money for a certain player in Galaxy Forge, but I'm not sure. Don't think you can change speed for one person, unless you change it for a faction and are the only one to use that faction.

You can change the Starting money for a certan player, (you neew to load, quit and load, until you get the modded credits and supplies)

mmm okay thx

Thats what they all say
