Debug mode How to ?

It a mode that normally disable for users but can enable easily by follow this guide.

It can do fun stuff or experiment things in game before you build it in game

And if you are veteran player and don't know this mode is exist then I suggest you to do so. Once you already in debug panel you will have unlimited zoom out and able to see full map
(** reload game won't disable zoomout but close debug panel make sure to close before reload**)

YOU CAN HAVE UNLIMITED ZOOM WITHOUT USING DEBUG BY PRESSING (ALT+S) If you want to show yourbase and not gonna cheat

Step 1
Right click at your game,then go to property
Step 2
Once screen appear go to "LOCAL FILES" tab and then click at "BROWSE LOCAL FILES.."
Step 3
Get in to that folder
Step 4
Create a text file
Step 5
Then name it "debug_enable" leave text inside empty, It should be "debug_enable.txt" when you are done.

Step 1
Load you game
Step 2
Hit the magic button called "backspace"
Then the menu should open (your game will freeze a bit due to load a full map)


To close the menu hit backspace button again.

Once you have enable it. I want to give you some useful command to you

ctrl + F4 - > For instant build,dig,mop,job change,research (press again to disable)
ctrl + F2 - > For randomly create new dupe
alt + Q - > For teleport anything that you clicked to new position (your mouse)
alt + Z - > For super simulation speed (press again to disable)

Full list of commands is appear in Option - > Controls -> DEBUG

To cancle use right click

Let's start with how to select element. From here you can select any element that was ingame


And you can you " Sample " to get element temp and mass from tile you select.
**** To exit anymode in debug USE RIGHT CLICK ****


After you have selected element you have access to these choices " Paint " or " Fill "
*Unpause to take effect* 1. Paint
replace anything in area you select with element that you selected.
2. Fill
replace all neaby tile (If it was same element) with element that you selected.
eg replace all oxygen with water

Select whatever you want with this green and delete it with red


Use this plus button to duplicate things that you selected. EXCEPT DUPE
And then use " Clear selection " to get rid all of that.

Oh and you can name and save it for later use.

It will create an xml file for you (to share for other people) and appear here.

If you have low screen resolution you might have this problem too. Do this and you will be fine.

Once you done with duplicate stuff just set it back to 100%.

And that " SPAWN ALL_ " I don't know what it is, and I don't think you will need it so leave it there. :)

Just hit " backspace " again to close panel.

Or delete text file that you created

Or not use it in the first place
