Is Cheat Engine safe to use with this game in singleplayer?

    Just making sure before cheating super hard, don't want to pick up a VAC ban.

    Also, on a side note, will OllyDBG get you banned?

    In single player? Doubt it.

    Heh, I'm still too scared to do it unless a dev replies to this.

    Once I get around to downloading Starbound, I'll give Cheat Engine a shot and get back to you.

    The game has no connection to Valve servers. Basically the VAC program never even connects with the game.

    AFAIK the game does not have to connect to Valve servers to use VAC. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, for example, uses VAC.

    On the other hand, if the game uses VAC, it will display that info on it's store page, together with the info about what other features the game has; you can see it on the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed page, or on almost any Valve game store page. Starbound does not have VAC protection listed.

    You can't get banned from Starbound :/

    It's completely unrelated to Valve and the Devs couldn't care less. And even if they did, there's nothing they can do about it. It's hosted by you not their servers.

    actually devs made stacks revert back to 1000 loging back in to the game even if they were like 999999 before

    If that's true, cool. However, that's the limit on save-editing prevention though.

    They can't do anything about the rest except deleting X item from existence. Saves are saved on your computer, not any of their databases meaning it doesn't go through a DRM or anything.

    it doesn't have to be closed and reopened it reverts to 1000 eventually it depends on the item nothing stays past 1000 for long

    btw you could freeze the value

    I've used it in single player. Totally safe. In fact there's a small trainer by Rydian in the released mod sections that was built from cheat engine and it works quite well. So it's fine. :)

    Where did this silly misconception that every steam game has VAC even come from?

    I don't understand, games that use VAC are clearly marked as such.

    99% of games on steam don't use VAC.
    And vac is used mostly in multiplayer.And there is no anti-hack in multiplayer yet

    Yeah, but that would be a scumbag thing to do.

    You should only cheat in single player, unless the multiplayer server is between friends and they say it's okay to do so.

    I just made a video on how someone can cheat in this game because the game is being wiped every so often. Please like, sub, and share if this helps you.
