38 cheats in 5 groups. 4 free, 34 with a premium plan.
Money/Resources
- The first of three research queues sits behind population growth, and population needs food. This adds a chunk directly, in units of 100,000.
- Add Energy-Credits (1= 100,000)
- Add Minerals (1= 100,000)
- Add Consumer Goods (1= 100,000)
- Alloys build ships and stations, and running short stalls both at once. This adds to the stockpile directly.
- Influence buys edicts and claims and grows slowly on its own. This adds to it directly.
- Add Unity (1= 100,000)
Skills/Experience
- Add Physics research points (1= 100,000)free
- Add Society research points (1= 100,000)
- Add Engineering research points (1= 100,000)
- Physics, society and engineering run as three separate queues measured in months each. This clears the physics one specifically.
- Instant Society Research
- Instant Engineering Research
Luxury goods
- Dark matter is one of several exotic late-game resources that only appear once you've reached deep space technology. This adds it long before that grind pays off.
- +500 Nanitesfree
- +500 Volatile Motes
- +500 Exotic Gases
- +500 Rare Crystals
- +500 Living Metal
- +500 Zro

- Add Exotic Gases (1= 100,000)
- Add Rare Crystals (1= 100,000)
- Add Living Metal (1= 100,000)
- One of the rarest strategic resources in the game, tied to specific late-game technology and events. This adds it directly instead of the trade or expedition route.
- Add Dark Matter (1= 100,000)
- Add Nanites (1= 100,000)
- Add Minor Atrifacts (1= 100,000)
Construction

- Fast build (selected starbase)
Health/Energy
- Keeps your fleet and starbases from being destroyed in a fight your economy isn't ready to lose.
Why cheats make sense in Stellaris
Physics, society and engineering research run as three separate queues, each measured in months, each gating a different part of your empire. Below them sit alloys, food, dark matter and nanites, resources that only appear late and are needed immediately. The trainer adds the points and the materials, so an empire fails on your strategy rather than on a shortage of exotic gases in 2287.
-
Three sciences, three queues
Physics, society and engineering each get an add points cheat and an instant research switch. A tech you need now is often in the one queue you neglected, and switching focus costs months. -
Late game resources arrive late
Dark matter and nanites each get a plus 500 switch, and both are free. They gate the best ships and buildings, and the game only starts producing them long after you needed them. -
Construction is measured in years
Nine cheats work on construction, including fast construct. A starbase, a megastructure or a habitat takes in game years, and the AI empires do not wait politely.
Make Stellaris the game you actually want to play.
