Disclaimer
Please keep in mind that this software comes as is and author handle no responsibility for any possible damage of your save. Use it at your own risk.

Despite the fact that this app automatically creates backup of important files author still suggest you to manually copy your 'header.bin' and 'stats.ini'.

This app was tested and confirmed to work, but keep in mind that crashes may still occur. In this case please use backup and/or resave after every change.


First launch may take up to 10 seconds because windows will perform security scan to make sure this app is safe.
Requirements
The only requirements for you as a player is to have lastest .NET Framework just in case.
Antiviruses and false alarms
Some antiviruses may false detect this app as a virus. The main reason for this is that it have read/weite access to files (your 'header.bin' and 'stats.ini'), perform binary operations and, well, unsigned. In tests there was no any alarms from antiviruses at, at least, 5 different PCs.
But just in case and for your peace of mind I scanned it with VT, and you can check results here[www.virustotal.com]


How to use
Create a new save game with any map you want to play on, use any settings you like (except unlimited money) or use an existing save.

Launch this program, hit "Open File" and locate your save game
(<steam folder>\SteamApps\common\SovietRepublic\media_soviet\save\<name>). Select "header.bin" and hit "open".

In left part of window you will see a records for year, month, and currency.

Changing Year


In terms of year I limited it to be 4 digits only so you cant go beyond 1000 and 9999 year. I also do not recommend you to go this far since I have no idea how game will behave.

Changing Month


For month you have a textbox that displays your current months and dropdown list with possible options of 12 months. After selecting one you will see what exactly day of the year it will be next to "Month/Day" label.

Changing Currency


In currency block you can either change amount of money manually or hit "Set Maximum" which will set your both USD and RUB to 900 000 000 (while it's possible to have much more money in game, I had to limit it to 999 999 999 due to way bytes work, If your save somehow have more than that you will get an error message.)

Also you can set your money to infinite by checking corresponding checkbox. The game will say "infinite" in currency field just like when you start new game in sandbox mode.

On the right side you will see a bunch of radio buttons. While its already possible to change them in game I see no reason to not to add them in app too so you can change them as well.

Economy Reset


At the bottom, next to open and save buttons you have checkbox that allows you to reset economy. What id does is renaming your 'stats.ini' by adding timestamp to it so you can always have it back after you have it selected and hit "Save File".

Economy tab


This is a wip feature that will allow you to directly manipulate prices on market. Keep an eye for future updates.

Applying Changes


After making all wanted changes hit "Save File", start your game and play edited save.

There will be a complete new version (full rework), thing you suggested was already in my plans. Thanks for idea and attention to my program.

Are there recommended settings to use, or should we just use the reset economy function in order to combat inflation in early start game runs? I could use the cheat tools to change market prices I guess, but would be cool if there were pre-built-in custom stats.ini files that it could plug into your save if you wanted pre-set economy stuff for starts in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc.

Undocumented, but it makes a backup of your files in case you mess something. So you can always revert your changes.

Its likely windows is closing it. Try to run as admin, it will likely still try to stop you but you can find the "run anyway" button.
