Functions

Frostpunk v1.6.1 Dump or run the following (Source):

local a={}function dump(b,c)a[b]=true;local d={}local e=0;for f in pairs(b)do e=e+1;d[e]=f end;table.sort(d)for f,g in ipairs(d)do print(c,g)g=b[g]if type(g)=="table"and not a[g]then dump(g,c.."-")end end end;dump(_G,"-")

Open ConsoleOutput.html located in the root of the game directory to view them all.

I'm not fluent in Lua, most of what I've figured out is just guess work and Google. I don't know enough about reverse engineering games to be of any help.

I think something changed between 1.6.1 and 1.6.2. Running the command to dump functions returns an error:

(there's nothing in the ConsoleOutput.html either)
Only noticed this as another command also seems to have broken, as per this thread InvokeEvent 'xxx' should provide a list but also returns an error. I'm tempted to find a 1.6.1 version and test this for myself.

@Mr-8k Looking at the error the command doesn't look like it was entered correctly, I've been using Logitech G HUB to create a macro which types the command for me with a press of a button, If you don't have Logitech peripherals then something like AutoHotkey may work.

Funny you should say that, I'm using an AHK script to type the contents of my clipboard. No way I'm entering that manually. Worth noting that frostpunk really loves screwing over all my inputs, logitech macros don't work and neither does something as simple as ctrl+esc to open the windows menu, only alt+tab works.

Make sure you're using SendRaw in AHK so that the {} characters aren't interpreted as keys by AHK

Much appreciated, my digging can resume.

I've figured out how to load Lua scripts into Frostpunk.

Create the file %APPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk\script.lua with the following contents:

print("Hello, World!")

Then run gLua:ExecuteFile("script", "project") in the in-game console.

Technicals

When analyzing the ConsoleOutput.html there are several directories getting mounted to what appears to be a virtual filesystem.

• %APPDATA%: user
• %APPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk: project
• %USERPROFILE%\Pictures\Frostpunk: screens

The ExecuteFile syntax appears to be ExecuteFile(<File Name>, [FileSystem Name]) (<> is required and [] is optional).

I'm doing the developer mode in frostpunk but when I get the red command panel up and try a code it either says error while using chunks or end of stack level 1 or 2

@Deanmartain The commands are case sensitive, please make sure you are entering them correctly, if it's still not working please provide a screenshot of the error.

Example of the commands:
ShowDebugButtonsPanel
SetResource("Coal", 1000)
SetResource("Wooden Materials", 1000)

How to increase HOPE guys? Couldn't find it in the cheat menu

Accidently found the answer:

To make hope rise (without any other consequences), open "All dilemma list" and use the dilemma in "Faith - Consequences" named "Rightful denunciation, a lying child"
