Save file editing

[iNarek94]

Hi awesome people, not really sure i should ask this question here, but anyway.

I'm trying to edit my save file of "Don't starve Together". So in the place where the recipes start i have some things unlocked and wanted to know what to type to have ancient stuff unlocked too. When i just simply add e.g. ,"yellowstaff" there, the game starts over again and makes me choose a new character. To use things from the ancient tab i have to enter ​GetPlayer().components.builder:GiveAllRecipes()​ in the console every time. So if you have any solution, or maybe some suggestions i would appreciate it very much. With kind regards!

@iNarek94, My guess is that you're not actually editing the save file, but the game files instead (which file are you editing?). Save files are serialized (stored in binary), and I know of no intelligent way to edit them.

 

But for ancient recipes, you normally need to be at an altar in order to make them. So you have to elevate your character's inherent tech, and I don't think there's any way to save that; the only existing case in the game for it is Wickerbottom, and that's handled by her prefab definition rather than any save/loading.
