PREREQUISITE

DRAFT FORMAT
NOTICE:

[!] If you have never used the goatfungus Save Editor (on github), I'm sorry but this guide is NOT for you. You must be 100% comfortable not only using the Editor but making edits to the RAW JSON (text) data. A LOT of edits...

[!] If you inadvertently delete a "," you will render your save file unreadable and complete garbage. Not even the save editor will be able to load/read it...

Make Your Edits Very Carefully

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you feel confident, here we go:

* Launch the game; load and save every save slot that you want to edit. This ensures the file is up to date and has any added data from the v5.5x update.

NOTICE
This in DRAFT form. As such there are minimal images or helper text. I have been sitting on this guide for over three years and just need to publish it.
