IDK if anyone's still interested, but when I was looking through the steam community for this game I found these 2 links also talking about how you can use cheat codes: 

https://steamcommunity.com/app/3069630/discussions/0/598516531140305052/?ctp=2

ONLY USE THESE IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PLAYED THE GAME!!!! DO NOT WRITE GUIDES THAT INCLUDE CHEATING!

(It's weird enough when some people see a guide and think that's the best or only way to win - very not true - worse if they think cheating is!)

To bring up the code console

Press shift-o during gameplay. This will bring up an overlay where you can type code. (Obviously, don't type code that someone gives you if you don't understand it because you can destroy your game like this.) You can hit Escape at any point to exit the console and go back to the game.

To edit your skills

Input, for example:

skills['Sports'] = 50

(and hit enter after it to carry out the command) You have to spell the skill name correctly, including capitalising it, or it won't work. If you want to be sure you've got the right name or just want to check what the current value is, you can just enter

skills['Visual']

with no equal to set it to anything, and just hit return - it'll show you the current value that the skill is set to, or if you input an incorrect name it will give you a key error.

After tinkering with your skills you'll see that they look a little funky on the skills display. These edited skills may revert when you do other things that affect your skill bonuses like change clothes.

You should also see a mark on the saved game screen for saves made after you've messed with the console (this is mostly just a precaution in case of weird bugs, so we and you have a reminder that you may have made something work in a way it wasn't supposed to)

To see approval changes

Want a lot more info on what's going on under the hood, who's being upset by your actions, and why? Go to the code console and enter

persistent.debug = True

Now, whenever there's an approval change among the Electors, you'll get an overlay showing you how everyone's numbers shifted. To turn this off again, do

persistent.debug = False

I played this game in beta at least a dozen times, now I'm wondering if there are any cheat codes like there was in lltq so I can play an OP princess? If you're ok with me asking. Thank you so much for this game, it's so fun!

Thank you, this is really helpful!

The interaction and empathy skills are must haves for me! I kinda expected that though. I really liked the piloting and intrusion skills and felt like I used them in more activities than I thought I would at first! I barely ever used the terrain skill I think. Also I second bluepanda's comment earlier about missing how LLTQ had learning tree boosts, I feel like those rewarded you for specializing and made it way easier to max out a tree.

Thank you very much for the hints, they're very helpful! I'm also having an issue with the guide link too.

Does it help with the feeling rushed feeling if I spoil a little bit and say that the election first happens on turn 35? Maybe knowing when it happens will help with the planning your skills out, I felt like it was much easier the second time I played through because I knew how much time I had. If saying that doesn't help, then I apologize for spoiling it!

I understand that since this game revolves around getting the votes to become empress, it may seem like having many social actions when in deep space would be pointless but it seems so wasteful when you just have to skip like 3 or 4 potential actions. Can I ask for there to be an option with more of your advisors like with Knexia and Vasily to take a lesson in their respective field of study, or like how you could use allure on the star admiral to get 5 military or change their opinion of you? I know that you can still denounce and poll people, but it still feels like there's a lot of actions being wasted. Thank you!

thoughts:

1. I really enjoyed this game! I had high hopes from lltq, and this blew it out of the park! I especially liked the open world bit. this is my opinions after 2 full playthroughs so I might just be missing something instead of it being a problem

2 I second the previous suggestion that it would be nice for the mood page to give an indicator of which stats they're best at to prevent having to switch tabs. this wasn't a problem on my second playthrough because i kinda had them memorized at that point, but when I was at the beginning of my first playthrough it was a little irritating

3 i love how you can pick your pet to have different moods based on what type of character you're planning as playing as, and how it makes only having two mood selections slightly easier to deal with

4 i was a little disappointed that there wasn't flavor text for the different skill levels for lltq since i really liked how that would slowly reveal more the novan world's history and culture and stuff, but the idea of codexes are cool and makes up for that! It would be fun if you got more codexes with high imperial history and stuff but no pressure! Kinda related to that- I liked the little callback to lltq when Zorana was investigating the novans, it was fun how all the different legends could represent all the different paths you could take through the game.

5 trying to ask with out spoiling things for other people- after the events in turn 22, is there a way to get it without waiting until after you turned empress or is that option just not showing because of my intrigue stats being medium levels and not high? Or is that option related to another hidden plotline or something I haven't discovered yet?

6 i forgot to take a screenshot of this and i haven't been able to replicate it so I'm just resorting to describing as much as i can, but after completing the piloting challenge from the star admiral where i was only able to graze the target and bail out with contortion/body control it gave me dialogue that amounted to him not backing me but not being necessarily opposed to me either, then I got one of those error messages "an exception has occurred" that wouldn't let me rollback, I have a lot of save games so i couldn't figure out which one was from that playthrough so idk how much help this would be i think it was during turn 19 in deep space if that helps

7. I presumed to start a plotline where you try to figure out what happened to the emperor (before the epilogue) you have to have high science and intrigue then you'd be able to start investigating inside the palace, but I didn't see that pop up as an option. Is there something I'm missing?

Thank you so much for having a beta option for this game, I was really excited to play it early! Overall 5/5 stars, I had a lot of fun!
