Cheat Menu 9.0

About this mod

A cheat menu for X4 Foundations — a constructor for game situations. Version 1. 34, author qadetmir.

The menu reads what your install actually has loaded — the same ware library as the in-game creative constructor. Vanilla, the DLC you own, and every enabled mod. No hardcoded lists: ships, combat fleets, and stations in a few clicks.

Three tools in one window:

Build Ship

Build Fleet

Spawn Stations.

Open it with ESC → Extension Options → Cheat Menu 9. 0. You need a loaded save: the option is not on the title screen.

New in 1. 34: station spawning, and fixes to ship spawning — a preset now fits every hull in a batch, and the saved-preset path no longer mixes with the automatic one.

Requirements and installation

• []Required: SirNukes Mod Support APIs (Simple Menu API). Also on Steam Workshop. The mod window will not open without it.[/]

  []Copy the inner mod folder (the one that contains content.xml) into X4 Foundations/extensions/.[/]

  []Enable Cheat Menu 9. 0 in the in-game extensions list.[/]

Tested on X4 Foundations 8. 00 and 9. 00, and with the latest version of the Star Wars Interworlds overhaul.

Features

Build Ship — spawn any ship from your install

Any ship that exists in your install: vanilla, your DLC, and every ship from enabled mods. The list is grouped by races and factions from that install, including custom ones from ship mods, then by size, then by name. Each group row shows how many of its ships exist in your install.

• []Click Build Ship in the left column. The races and factions open across the window. Pick one.[/]

  []The next screen is three columns: Step 1: Size, Step 2: Name, Step 3: Owner. Pick a size, then a name. The right column lists who receives the hull — Player is the first row, so you can also give a Teladi hull to the Terrans.[/]

  []Step 4: Choose ship modules. Pick a kit for that hull: Auto from found modules, every preset you saved in the game for this hull, and an author kit when the hull ships with one. Saved kits are copied as they are — slots a kit left empty stay empty.[/]

  []Step 5: Choose quantity of ships. Any count from 1 to 20. The ships appear near you, at a safe position, and belong to the owner you picked. Until you pick one, they stay yours.[/]

  The crew is a full five-star set. Crew race is argon / paranid / teladi. The automatic kit is built from compatible modules that are loaded; equipment a ship pack excluded from its generated loadouts is left off the automatic path — a saved preset still installs it.

  Build Wing — place a combat fleet

  Combat fleets from the jobs in your install, grouped by race and faction. Terran fleets are split into Defence and Attack. The lead ship and the escorts appear ahead of your nose, stacked upward. The faction AI takes the fleet: it is not added to your property, and the click does not start a war or an invasion.

  • []Point your ship where you want the fleet: it forms on your heading when you click.[/]

    []Click Build Wing, pick a race, then a faction (Terran opens Defence or Attack), then a fleet.[/]

    Spawn Stations — build your own station

    Build a station from the module list of any race, connectors included. The finished station is yours.

    []Click Spawn Stations and pick a race. One build is one race: the modules and the connectors all come from that race. A module with no maker race is listed only for races whose factions own its blueprint.[/]

    []Set a quantity for each module type you want: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, or 20. Zero means "do not build". You do not pick connectors: for every three modules above zero, the build adds one vertical connector, one cross, and one base connector of that race.[/]

    [*]Press Build. The mod sets a 20 km build plot 20 km ahead of your ship — the near face stays 10 km from
