Enabling cheats
Before you can use cheat codes, you must either use the cheat code "cheat on" or press Shift+Backspace. You should get a "Cheats enabled" message when you do this.
Using cheats
To use a cheat code, press Enter, type the code, and press Enter again.
Cheats marked with "✗" can crash the game. Try to avoid using them.

The cheat 'reload me' doesn't work. Why?
kokiris wrote on Mar 24, 2011:
I hope most people know this, because the "Get off my land" cheat and the "Super power" cheat,aswell as the "Research all" cheat are all extremely helpful when coming up with good designs (testing best armor and figuring out what's the best combination of body,propulsion, and turret because I know I would'nt have figured out Nexus resistance circuits worked faster when your unit had higher experience (elite or hero) ... Or that the strongest or most heavily armored combination was tracks+dragon+command turret IV (or) tracks+dragon+gauss cannon+(2nd)gauss cannon and another helpful thing I also learned is the combination of what I just mentioned instead with a hover but no tracks (Hover+dragon+gauss cannon+(2nd)gauss cannon) very helpful indeed especialy when you are makeing maps aswell.

Using 2.3.8 and when I try 'Cheat on' it says 'debug' and doesnt tell me 'cheat codes enabled' or anything like that. Then when I try to do any cheat codes it says 'unknown cheat code'
why?

i think the "✗" mark next to 'let me win' cheat is just to frighten people.

I have had to use cheat to win the defend the plateau base mission because nothing I did seemed to result in a completed mission: including establishing a new base with defenses, and killing all the enemy units as soon as they arrive.

too bad you can't shoot the VTOLs while in 'drive mode'.

Drive mode was a normal feature on the Playstation version, if I recall. Was it left in the code for the PC version but never implemented/finished, or is it just being remade and added?

Love every thing, but how about making a map editor?(much easier than debug mode)
AND THE DRIVE MODE IS AWSOME MAN!!!
Anonymous wrote on Aug 19, 2011:
Did anyone had some problem on the mission in wich you don't have to let any enemy units escape (it's a transport mission)? I asked caused I cannot win that mission: when I get to close to the enemy landing zone, a transport arrive and carry away some unit, and for "too close" I mean sensor distance, so I cannot neither destroy the turrets with mortars or so on. Can someone help me?

I beat the mission by dividing my forces and sending half up the front and the rest around the back. there is a small force in the top right corner, take them out and head left behind landing pad and blast them from both sides.If your close to the landing pad transport cant land.

if you don't kill the tank group that is collecting the artifact at the start then you can't win that mission. you have to very quickly destroy them. so you need fast powerful units that can outrun any pursuit and withstand some fire so you can get to that tank group and knock it out early. then you never have to worry about the enemies escaping because they won't leave the artifact behind

Hi I'm from Argentina, Why not put a separate control to control the turret drive mode? would be more fun to shoot yourself and when you complete control to control ADV (I mean a key to landing or go to reload ammunition) I hope you take into account
hola soy de argentina ¿porque no ponen un control aparte para controlar la torreta en modo conducir? seria mas divertido disparar tu mismo y un control completo para cuando controlas ADV (me refiero a una tecla para aterrizar o ir a recargar municion) espero que lo tomen en cuenta

Hey! Driver mode actually was implemented in the PSX version, I used it a lot and it was fun because I controlled the commander :P
Anonymous wrote on Oct 29, 2011:
I think driver mode should also allow control of the weaponry. I know that's difficult to integrate, but it would be a good idea.

Why is drive mode experimental?
I played this on console and loved it apart from lag.
Drive mode was one of many things I loved about the game, to drive about yourself.
I've been looking for similar RTS-personnel control(?) for awhile and found nothing.
