Answers to questions that many players ask but that many other players don't want to see, are stashed away here.

Peruse at risk of spoiling the enjoyment that discovering this stuff for yourself during gameplay might bring.

Scrap Heap

Results of each two hour "search" action of the scrap heap in the household yard, in order:

1. Artifact (common): a sealed DuraGlass soda bottle from 22nd century Earth. There's still some liquid inside. This could be valuable if you find the right buyer.

2. Scrap Metal x 5: Inside a rotten leather case, you find a batch of old knives and metal springs that can be turned into steel with the right prerequisites.

3. Merchandise x 3: You find some still-functional Westside Assembly Plant gadgets in an old metal case. These could be scrapped for valuables or sold for a couple of dollars each at Redhaven Market.

4. Merchandise x 2: After searching through a huge wooden chest, you find an intact case full of interesting but not very valuable gadgets.

5. Revital x5: Wow, inside a sealed DuraSteel case, you find a batch of Revital vials, used by wealthy Spheremasters to temporarily stop aging.

6. Nothing: You fail to find anything valuable.

7. Nothing: Unfortunately, you fail to find anything interesting, despite searching for over two hours.

8. C-boards x 3: You find three old circuit boards from which you can extract gold with the right prerequisites.

9. W.E.G.A. cannisters x 12: You find a dozen rusty old W.E.G.A. cannisters inside a leather holder. These were once used as ammo for a powerful Russian-made hand-cannon.

10. Energy Cells x 3: After digging in the same location where you found the W.E.G.A. cannisters, you stumble upon three Energy Cells. These can be used as ammunition for the powerful Plasma rifle or as parts of more advanced crafting projects.

11. Combat knife x 1: After breaking the lock of an old metal case, you find a family artifact – your brother's old dagger. You remember how he held this piece very dearly.

12. Bolts x12: After two hours of fruitlessly searching for anything that shines or looks valuable, you manage to pull out an old quiver that still holds a dozen usable crossbow bolts.

13. Ammo - 9mm x5, .30-06 x7, 7.62 x9: After searching in the same place as you found the crossbow bolts, you manage to extract an old ammunition box that contains a handful of various bullets.

14. Health points -5: After digging through a three-feet-thick layer of debris, your shovel hits an old grenade cannister that explodes, covering you with sharp pieces of glass and stone!

15. STRENGTH +1: While digging through another pile of debris, far away from potentially explosive areas, you fail to find anything. The strenuous effort has done wonders to your Strength however!

16. Scrap Metal x 11: You dig through a tougher part of your brother's old scrap heap and manage to pull out an impressive amount of scrap metal that can be used as material in crafting sessions.

17. Gold x 1, Durasteel x 1, Fasteners x 8, Merchandise x 21: You uncover a trove of precious items at various locations. After the session is over, you kneel down and pray to the gods in gratitude. (Even if you're not very religious.)

18. Health points -4: Apart from wasting two precious hours of your life, this session ends with a blood-gashing wound after you cut yourself on a sharp piece of glass!

19. Merchandise x10: You dig at an unexplored part of the heap and manage to conjure up some valuable goods after a sweat-covered session with the shovel.

20. STAMINA +1: You spend two hours searching for valuables but come up with nothing else than dirt and sharp rocks. At least the strenuous effort has improved your Stamina by a small degree.

21. H.U.L.C. armor part x 1: You've found an incredible pre-severance artifact - an intact H.U.L.C. armor part. Gather 15 of these and you can assemble your own high-tech utility armor.

22. Expensive necklace x 1: Luck continues to favor you! Just below where the exhumed H.U.L.C. shoulder part was found; you uncover a valuable gold necklace that can be used as an Affection-raising gift to NPCs or sold at the market.

23. Melee skill +1: You come up with nothing after searching through a stubborn pile of rubbish, even if the hundreds of shovel-hits have helped to improve your Melee combat skill!

24. DuraSteel x 2: Nice! You manage to find two processed rods composed of pure DuraSteel. This resource is vital for when crafting advanced weaponry and ammunition.

25. Cash $350: After two strenuous hours, you're able to find 350 Ikaanian silver dollars locked inside a small metal box which you believe to be your brother's old stash safe from when he was a young boy.

26. Merchandise x 16: Now that you've almost worked yourself through the entire scrap heap, most of it dumped in various locations toward Marston Swamps, you consider yourself lucky when you exhume a large pile of interesting goods that can be used for crafting or sold at the market.

27. Nothing. Unfortunately, you fail to find anything interesting.

28. Teddy Bears x 2, Chocolate bars x 1: After several hours, you manage to uncover two stuffed teddy bears and a NECO chocolate bar inside an old metal chest. They are in surprisingly good condition. Teddy bears and snacks can be used as Affection and Happiness-raising gifts to certain NPCs.

29. The Red River Circlet (legendary Item): Just below one of the larger hauled-away piles of rubbish, you manage to uncover something really special. In a large, wooden chest, that you don’t recognize from your own childhood, you uncover a beautiful diadem, crested by a red jewel.

30. Wakizashi x 1: While wagoning away the last pile of your brother's old crap, you spot a bindle of old cloth covering a sharp and well-preserved oriental blade. How could you miss that?

Your brother's old scrap heap has been cleared!

Game variables

Skill variables for players are stored in SugarCube.State.variables

Skill variables for NPCs are found in the NPC object (e.g. for Lovisa, Av1 = SugarCube.State.variables.npc.av1).

Story variables are marked with $ in game files, and are found in SugarCube.State.variables ; variable names are generally self-explanatory.

ownenergy ownplasma owngrenade owngl

MC armors: ownpadded ownleather ownhleather owncombat ownduraplate ownweave ownstealth ownhulc

NPC armors: value = number from 0 to 200; padded = ownslpadded, leather = ownslleather, heavy leather = ownslhleather, combat armore = ownslcombat, weve = ownslweave, duraplate = ownslduraplate, stealth = ownslstealth, aetheria = ownslaet, WEGA = ownslwega, HULC = ownslhulc

How to use Console

Console Commands

Most (maybe all?) of these variable changes can also be made by editing saves, but it is quicker to use console, and easier in some cases for instance where a variable is undefined so you have to create it.

Also note that these changes are not guaranteed to work - some are old, and may no longer be supported in the current version of the game.

And as ever, save your game before tinkering with it in case you break it and have to go back.

N.B. in the examples below, SugarCube.State.active.variables tends to be used, whereas SugarCube.State.variables usually suffices; the .active part may be unnecessary. (Anyone who understands the relevance of this part of the variables, please explain!)
