the only resource you really need to cheat is gold and it's pretty easy. The rest you can just spam buy on a weekend using the cheat gold. Wood, alchohol, and food also have this weird interaction that fixes its amount eventually after 3 days so buying 1000s of those will still bring its amount back to its cap, so don't buy more than 200 for those three. You don't need the other resources as much as those three.
what is the code for gold

I didn't start a new save for this version but just a few thoughts as I played through it.

The Elle / Lucy event on fracturing seemed odd for me since it happened when Lucy was at 0 fracturing (Also happens with the Scout / Lucy fracturing event). I'm sure it is just a random chance but would be neat if it happened when Lucy was actually showing signs of fracturing.

Sometimes Lucy will become upset with you randomly where she won't allow you to flirt / interact with her unless you first give her a gift. There is no event tied to it but giving her a gift fixes it.

~Night Patrol with scout~
Ghoul: I thought his initiative was very high at 25 / 30 compared to the relatively easy fight. Blocking seems to be very strong though it is possible that I just got lucky with never being poisoned by him. (Did end up getting poisoned and the -5 hp a turn seems right since its supposed to be a more challenging encounter. Not sure why ghouls are so fast though)

Upgraded wolf: The initiative was 12 I think which was fine otherwise its the same fight as a normal wolf.

Undead Skeleton: Extremely easy with initiative of 6 and only 40 hit points. Always died in one turn for me.

Nightshade Dryad: Low initiative, inflicts poison, 80 hit points. Again still easily stopped by blocking, poison is annoying since it has more hit points than the ghoul but pretty much the same fight. I think it should do something unique like alternate physical attacks and magical attacks or maybe a different status effect than poison.

I really enjoy having the option to go on patrol at night, alternatively allowing you to patrol in the 2nd daytime action would be cool too. I never did find the Katana in the hour or two I played. I also am unable to find the Dryiad so maybe its time for another new game start.

Thank you for the feedback!

The nastiest enemy is the Forvalaka, and it has a small chance to show up. The Wisps are also potentially dangerous, but no more so than the nightshades.

The fracturing events will show up so long as lucy fractures when scout or ellie are hired. the assumption is they saw it happen. I'm not 100% gonna leave it as is, because yes, it could be a bit better. I'll keep an eye on it.

Not being able to flirt is not necessarily because Lucy is upset. BUT her mood lowers a bit each day if left alone. Gifts, tea, and some conversations + events will increase her mood. Some conversations also decrease her mood. THe "chat about nothing in particular" will always increase her mood a little.

She is maxed out in all her stats when it happens. It happens pretty often maybe once in 20 days? Not sure if it could be triggered from a chatting event the only times I chatted was talking about vampires and her opinion of Ellie (twice). Based on the text it didn't sound like she would be upset. Of course it could be something like the fracturing events and I picked a bad option though I defended her in both. Who knows. I'll try and figure out what I am doing when it happens but so far its pretty random.

The mood is in the top right of her stat block. Example below, with Happy vs Delighted. If she's not delighted, some options won't be available. You might have been referring to this already, but I'm just double checking to make sure we're on the same page.

If she's delighted and some options are still missing, that might be a bug. I've yet to see that happen, but I can definitely look into it.

How do I fill up Scout's blood pool? I give her patrol notes, do successful hunts with her and dont use her abilites, and flirting with her do nothing. Its at -5 and hasnt changed at all. Got it to -5 because her blood pool was at 0, did an additional dice roll that cost -5 blood, and been there since. Even before this, her blood pool just kept decreasing and didnt move up at all.

THAT could be a bug. It's supposed to refill a little each day and more so when you flirt. I'll make sure to get that fixed in the next update. Thanks for the heads up!
Edit: confirmed bug. It's fixed. I don't know how I missed that one.

Katana showed up for me in fall I believe. TBH I didn't really care though since once you get magic online it's much more consistent damage given enemies normally have half the magic defence.

Speaking of combat, it'd be nice if Lucy/Scout could be upgraded to have some sort of support role while out, naturally a mid fight blowjob is top of the list:cool:. Lucy especially not only punishes you for using her, but is quickly dwarfed by you in ability, so she doesn't do much after the first couple weeks while out with you.

Lucy will get bigger and nastier spells later in the story. She's limited to her basic spells for fear of fracturing, but as she gets that under control I'll make better spells available. The update I'm working on right now is a big one, with a bunch of new content for fall. So much of what's in the game right now is still only really representative of the first 90 days of content.
