Editing Save file

Save files for the game are stored in <code>%LOCALAPPDATA%\Introversion\LastStarship\saves</code> on Windows and <code>~/Library/Application\ Support/LastStarship/saves</code> on Mac. They are stored in a plaintext format and end in a <code>.space</code> extension.

== Common modifications ==
=== Add items to the Trade screen ===
If you are stuck in a system with no Trade screen or the Trade screen is missing an item you need:

# Save and close the game.
# In the directory listed above, find the <code>.space</code> file corresponding to the saved game and open it in a text editor.
# Search for a line containing <code>TradePossible</code>. Set that to true.
#: ''Note:'' There may be multiple Trade sections in the system archive save file. Make sure to use the base section that is not indented.
# In the <code>TheirStock</code> area below, update or add the desired line using the item code from the table below. Spacing is important, so make sure to match it. The number can be adjusted to the preferred amount.
# Save the changes, run the game, and load the save.

=== Refill a fuel tank ===
If your ship runs out of fuel, but you have a fuel [[tank]] installed:

# Save and close the game.
# In the directory listed above, find the <code>.space</code> file corresponding to the saved game and open it in a text editor.
# Search for a line containing <code>Resource             Fuel</code>. Spacing is important.
# Ensure that the line belongs to a tank and that the tank belongs to the correct ship. Player-owned ships are listed as <code>FriendlyShip</code> type.
# Update or add the corresponding <code>Quantity</code> line to add fuel to the tank.
# Save the changes, run the game, and load the save.
