I would like to create a custom cheat!

[Larkkarl1]

It is supposed to be an AI-based NPC that tries to discover all celestial bodies in a certain amount of time (with a rocket that sets a lander from the player's blueprints). Now the questions:
1. Do "custom cheats" already exist or would they be possible?
2. How can I implement a script in Python into the game?
3. Would that even be legal?


Hope someone answers!

You would basically need to mod the game to do this.

1. Do "custom cheats" already exist or would they be possible?

They don't exist but it's certainly possible to make your own cheats through modding.

2. How can I implement a script in Python into the game?

This, no idea. You would need to integrate a Python interpreter into the game. And making the Python script interact with the game code would probably be a pain too. Maybe you can have a look at this mod that allows to mod the game through LUA scripts, but this is still a work in progress.

3. Would that even be legal?

If that comes under the form of a mod there's no problem.

I'm so dumb!!! An added mod, in LUA, broke my entire game.
I hope if I reinstall it via Steam it will work again. I almost don't dare because I'm afraid for my new PC
