The Pathologic Cheat Compendium
pathologic is known as an harsh and unforgiving game (rightfully so) but it doesn't have to be, here's a quick guide to add cheats and commands to it that can make your life just that bit easier
DISCLAIMER: this is not a comprehensive list, as I feel it's still important to experience the somewhat core of the game. cheats like fly, teleport etc. can disrupt the feel after a while, and make for a less interesting experience. also, if you're a purist, fuck off and go away :)
Pathologic Classic HD Edition
Classic is an old game made with an old engine, so adding cheats to it is not hard at all
if you bought the game off Steam, right click the Steam icon and go through these files: \steamapps\common\Pathologic Classic HD\data
if you got it from GOG instead, do this: \GOG\Pathologic Classic HD\data
in the data folder open config.ini. Find [General], skip a line and type ShowConsoleLog = 1 then EnableConsole = 1 on the next line, save and exit.
to turn on console command, launch the game and press `
REMEMBER! each healer has their own id number tied to them, so you need to change it every time you start a new route
Bachelor: 6986
Haruspex: 6995
Changeling: 6995
Status Effects:
health: brings you at max health [ex: propl 6986 health 1]
disease: removes the plague [ex: propl 6986 disease 0]
god mode: will make you immortal, but you can still get hurt, if you turn it off at 0 health, you will die (simply type god to enable and disable it)
Items:
to add items, type additem [id_player] [item name] [amount]
shmowder: additem 6986 powder 1
panacea: additem 6986 burah_serum 1
you'll notice that the list is very short, this is because these things are the main ones you actually need to worry about during a run
you can bind keys to the commands, like so:
in config.ini or in the panel, type in a free line bindcmd [key] [command] = ex: bindcmd F1 propl 6986 health 1
PROTIP: with these tools available, you will finish the main quest with a lot of time to spare. what I suggest is go in the burnt districts, quick save before entering a house and turn on god mode (because there will normally be 2-3 burglars inside), then loot the place. this way you'll have plenty of supplies to continue the run comfortably
Pathologic 2
being made in unity, the control panel is a bit trickier to work with, but nothing impossible
console commands can be accessed by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F4 at the same time
Tip: open the panel while in the menu (inventory, mind map, etc.) this way it'll pause the game and you can type calmly without any worry
Items:
they can be added by typing in the command: add_storable -storable:[itemid]
bread: Bread_Entity
milk: Milk_Entity
meat: Meat_Entity
shmowder: Powder_Entity
panacea: Panacea_Entity
immunity boosters: Immune_Entity
weapons: Knife_Entity ; Revolver_Entity ; Scalpel_Entity ; Shotgun_Entity
ex: add_storable -storable:Bread_Entity
and so on
*the items will be added automatically to your inventory IF you have slots available. if not, they will be dropped on the ground
Status Effects:
after opening the control panel, select the inspector bookmark and follow this path
-> UpdateService (UpdateService)
->PlayerUpdater (DelayUpdater)
->Updatable [#]
->Element # (PlayerControllerComponent : Simulation/Objects/X)
health: expand the Health (ParameterValue<float>) and then expand the Parameter (Parameter : Health | #) for max health edit the number to 1
disease: expand the Infection (ParameterValue<float>) and then expand the Parameter (Infection : Fatigue | #) to remove infection edit the number to 0
immortality: expand the IsImmortal (ParameterValue<bool>) and then expand the Parameter (BoolParameter : Immortal | False), click the box labelled Value, which should then change Immortal | False to Immortal | True
and there you have it, if you want a complete list of all the cheats and commands, make sure to check out the wiki page
