All X4: Foundations cheats
14 cheats in 5 groups. 1 free, 13 with a premium plan.
Money/Resources
- +100.000 Creditsfree
- A station that makes you self sufficient costs millions, and the ships that die getting there were expensive too. This closes a large part of that gap directly.
- Add Credits (100 = 1 Credit)
Hardcore
- 0 Credits
Health/Energy
- Keeps a ship from being destroyed outright, the actual cost of a fleet fight in this economy.
- The buffer that normally absorbs damage before hull does. This keeps it from ever running out.
Weapons
- Removes ammunition as a limit on combat ships specifically, separate from the credits that buy them.
- No laser tower decrease
- Keeps deployed mines from depleting, for area denial that doesn't need restocking.
- Infinite flares
Miscellaneous
- No nav beacon decrease
- No resource probe decrease
- No satellite decrease
- Ship boost drains with use for a burst of speed. This removes that limit.
Why cheats make sense in X4: Foundations
Building an empire means buying ships, which means running trade routes, which means owning ships. The game is honest about this loop and slow about it, on purpose. A station that would make you self sufficient costs millions, and the ships that die getting there were expensive too. Four cheats hold the hull and shields, which is what keeps an early fleet from evaporating.
-
Credits are the entire game
Three cheats move them, and the amounts tell the story: 100,000 free, a million premium, and a precise setter at 100 units to one credit. X4's prices are measured in the millions long before your income is. -
Ships are expensive to lose
Infinite ship hull and infinite shield. An early fleet is a handful of vessels you cannot replace, and one bad jump into a Xenon sector ends a session's worth of trading. -
Ammunition has four separate switches
Missiles, laser towers, mines and flares. The defensive items are consumables, which means station defence is an ongoing bill rather than a one off purchase.
