I am wonder, do the game has it's cheat system in the game? If so, then I wonder how to activate it. The reason why I want to use the cheat menu, is cause I just want to mess around and have fun with stuff...

If there is none, i wish there was some type of way to get it.

There are no in-game cheat options, and adding them isn't a priority.

You could edit a save file, if so inclined.

Open it in a text editor, change the contents, then save. It'll probably take a lot more trial and error and tweaking than it's worth, though...

Alternatively, learn C++ (if necessary) and modify the existing game code to generate and/or save a universe to your liking.

from what I know, C++ takes years to learn (reference from my computer repair teacher at my school). I even try to attempt to edit my save however I want to find out how to edit my resources so I can gain a max... max food, max production goods, max goods (whatever that yin-yang symbol look-a-like).

Look, dude... the AI isn't even coded into the game yet. I don't understand why you need a cheat menu or whatever against a computer opponent that doesn't do anything. Now, maybe when we get to a final release, I could understand that... but this is a very stable, pre-pre Alpha version... and the way things are being designed, it's not gonna be that hard to mod the game to have whatever you want... what's the point of a cheat menu in a game like that?
