Cheat Engine

[Grizzly232]

I was trying to play around with Hearts of Iron 4. There are plenty of different values that would be interesting to change, but I don't seem to be able to find any of them in cheat engine.

The value I'm trying to find is my country's number of civilian factories. As Germany, I start off with 31 factories and I routinely deconstruct factories while I scan for the value.

Factories are just a discrete number that should be easy to find, but when I try to narrow down the value, I never find it. I've changed all of the scan settings to make the scan as vague as possible and to search through every possible value, but that just leads to me finding even more values that aren't the one I'm looking for.

I've had this problem with every single value in the game. The number of factories, my country's stability or the number of tanks I've produced should all be recorded somewhere, so I think this is an issue with where I'm searching, but I can't be sure.

This is a truely ancient message, but better late than never. Most values are state based. From messing around with cheat engine, I have found that the total manpower is based on the sum of the available state manpower pools (which can be seen by mousing over the state) and the STATE manpower pool can be modified with cheat engine. To narrow down your search, it is a 4 byte number.

Additionally, for ATLEAST Military factories (and likely all other constructions), they are ALSO state based, and a 4 byte number.

I managed to cheat manpower but didn't manage to cheat other stuff like resourcse, factories, etc
