First you'll need to locate your profile folder, which can found here;
Steam-->steamapps-->common->Osiris-->OsirisNewDawn_Data-->OsirisNewDawnSave-->(Random Numbers)-->[Profile Name]

Inside the player profile folder should be another folder for each planet/moon.

There should be these files in your profile folder;

• Player.txt
  
• Universe.txt
  
• Version.txt

and some files in your planet folder;

• Structures.txt
  
• Utilities.txt
  
• Furniture.txt

These core files are what we'll be modifying to adjust the game.

Ok, so now that you have opened up your player.txt you're presented with something that looks like this;

1:Hybrid:Hybrid_local_Proteus2:0:1062.176|-97.86674|572.1353:7.079664E-06|0.5341513|-3.434605E-05|-0.845389:1076.686|-95.30658|543.5024:0.01847244|-0.6841999|0.1741605|0.7079531:0:1:3:0.88:1:0.9754493:0.9754007:1:0:0:116:100|RepairTool| 1|1|;101|Chisel|1|1|;102|PatchTape|1|1|;103|Map|1|1|;0|Aluminum|4|1|;1|Magnesium|2|1|;2|Iron|1|1|;;Mobile Technology|Civil Engineering|Basic Storage|Metallurgy|Chemistry|First Aid|Fabrication|Solar Technology|Small Guns;:Missions/Startup|1|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0:0:0:0:0:0:::2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9:10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0


So it starts with Character name, universe, planet, current coordinates and rotation.
1:Hybrid:Hybrid_local_Proteus2:0:1062.176|-97.86674|572.1353:7.079664E-06|0.5341513|-3.434605E-05|-0.845389:1076.686|-95.30658|543.5024:0.01847244|-0.6841999|0.1741605|0.7079531
- This is a very easy edit just switch your name or universe name. Then alter the coordinates after the planet name to teleport yourself around. Please be careful not to get yourself stuck in a rock.


The next part reads;
:0:1:3:0.88:1:
First digit = Unknown
Second digit = is faction ("0" = UNE, "1" = outlander)
Third digit = is class ("0" = scientist, "1" = marine, "2" = engineer, "3" = ranger)
Fourth, Fifth & Sixth value are Unknown
In this example the character will spawn as an Outlander Ranger.
- Another simple edit just switch the value to whichever faction or class you wish to play.


Then we have;
:0.9754493:0.9754007:1:0:0:116:100
- This part is unknown at the moment.


From there it moves to equipment & skills
|RepairTool|1|1|;101|Chisel|1|1|;102|PatchTape|1|1|;103|Map|1|1|;0|Aluminum|4|1|;1|Magnesium|2|1|;2|Iron|1|1|;;Mobile Technology|Civil Engineering|Basic Storage|Metallurgy|Chemistry|First Aid|Fabrication|Solar Technology|Small Guns;:
- Very easy to switch and replace resources gathered by changing "Magnesium" to "Gold" you will re-log in and have a stack of gold rather than Magnesium.
- Adding skills works the same way, just continue to list the ones you want to have known.


From there it's;
Missions/Startup|1|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0:0:0:0:0:0:::|
- These are the missions, ("1" = done, "0" = unfinished)


Lastly;
2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9:10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0
- This is tricky. In the order the 2-19 this indicates the xp in the following skills along with how many extra skill points per tree you have. Just change the value to whatever amount of XP/Points you want in that particular slot.
2. Extra Combat Skill Points
3. Melee
4. Light Weapons
5. Heavy Weapons
6. Special Weapons
7. Tactical Weapons
8. Extra Engineering Skill Points
19. Mining
10. Industrial Engineering
11. Military Engineering
12. Mechatronics
13. Aerospace Engineering
14. Extra Science Skill Points
15. Chemistry
16. Botany
17. Biochemistry
18. Computer Science
19. Zoology Research

Lets take apart the universe.txt. It's real small and looks like this;

0|Osiris||0|0|1|2|3|4|2|4|2|1|1|0

- Each value represents the universe slider bars (Aliens, Alien Attack Damage, Health, Resource Yield Amount etc)
- Just change the number or adjust the slider in game to change the game values.

Hopefully you'll now have a good understanding on how to edit some basic parts of your character and universe. I strongly recommend backing up the entire player profile before editing anything as a lot of times switching the wrong values or using too high of a value can crash the game.

I'll be adding a few sections later on regarding a detailed map on how to edit structures, utilities and furniture. In the meantime take a look at the files and play around with them, it's not that hard most of it is just location, ownership and permissions (colony or not).

Thanks for the read, Hope this helped.
