If a trick applies to only some versions of the game, note which ones that is.

General

Item Duplication

Each of the following duplication methodes have their ownuses.

Negative Input

This moethod is most useful for quickly creating big amounts of the same item. The drawback is, that you need at least two of the item.

To duplicate the item, simply drop the item on the floor or into a container, while holding the Crtl-Key. This enables you to split the stack. Instead of entering a positive number, you have to enter a negative number.

When accepting, two things will happen:

1. The amount of items in your inventory will be determined the following way: You'll keep the origial stack plus the number you have entered.

2. A stack of items will be dropped. The stacksize will change this way: for entering a number n [-1 > n > -256], 256+n items will be on the floor. For n < -255 about 65000 will be dropped.

Containers

The advantage of this methode, is that it also works for single and unstackable items. To execute it, you need a empty container.

You start by opening both your inventory and the container. Grab the item and hold the click, while hovering over the containers inventory. Pause the game (spacebar) and open the main menue (ecs). Let go of the mousbutton and cole the menue. When you unpause the game, you should have the item in both the container and you inventory.

This also works for duplicating containers that contain items.

Save and Load

This methode works silimar to the previous one, but takes longer as you have to save and reload the game. The huge advantage of this one, is the fact that you can move items between savegames.

Open your inventory and grab the item. Hold mouseclick until you have opened the menue (esc). You can now let go. Now load the savegame you want to transfer your item to (quickload also works). While the savegame is loading go back to holding mouselick, so once the savegame is loaded, you'll still have it in your hand. If you don't do so, the item will be placed in your inventory.
