Prerequisites

In order to use the save editor you need to get yourself a savefile of your choice (For example public modded saves or your own). If you are not familiar with the process, please try to follow tutorials from our beloved internet. If you use your own PS4 save, you have to use SaveWizard or a SaveBot (for example ProtoBuffers SaveBot) to decrypt your save. Always make sure if the save itself is compressed or not. Using a SaveBot or a PC save, the .sav file is always compressed. If you are unsure if your save is compressed or not, an uncompressed save file size is mostly around 1MB or more. Check out QnA for for a detailed explanation regarding the topic.

Last words

Please keep in mind that I have a fulltime job and invest my limited free-time for the editor. This means that implementations and fixes may take a while. It's an Open-Source project that is in development process (you could view it as a beta version if you want). So don't expect a finished and perfect product. Contribution and Ideas are always welcome.

With this being said, Good night and good luck fellow Nightrunners!
