The Ruin's Legacy Bypass (DISABLES anticheat)

Description
Did you know? At the time of writing, The Ruin's Legacy is 202 MB. 198 MB of this is used for bloat in an anti-cheat. The bloat does nothing and isn't even read by the game. What you thought was a content-packed mod based on the file size is actually full of worthless garbage.

This mod renders the anticheat ineffective, allowing you to play this sandbox game the way you want.

Did you know? After this bypass mod was uploaded, Portal Mech updated The Ruin's Legacy with a new anticheat. This new and "improved" anticheat comes with the added bonus of... crashing the script of every monster in the game, regardless if they're in the mission. You just can't have monsters in the game anymore. Also, the new anticheat doesn't work and instead crashes the mission world after a few seconds regardless of admin mode.

"Congratulations. You've found the folder containing my anti admin system. If you're here to admire my handiwork, then go ahead and admire. But if you're here to try and disable it, then you might as well give up. I have planned for every form of attack, and my system and will continue to fulfill its purpose no matter how long and hard you work to turn it off. If you're still bent on proving me wrong, then go right ahead. You'll soon see how hopeless it is."
"It is true that my system has been bypassed before, but that will not stop me. I will continue to evolve it until it is virtually unbeatable. The question is: who will give up first?"

(Spoiler alert: he gave up shortly after. Like, within a few hours.)



<- this is scungus! say hello :)

Hi! None of the exampes you provided are anticheats. Water generators work due to the atmosphere they're placed in-- a ship atmosphere won't work. If changing the code didn't work, you either broke the code (causing the generator to do nothing), changed the wrong script, or did not remove the packed version of FU (meaning the game loaded it instead of your modified version).

The strange sea change was discussed with the author as a way to balance the mod. There's another mod to revert it (Untroll Strange Seas, iirc).

As far as I know, content development on FU has ceased, though it still receives changes and bugfixes.

Hey silver! Sayter actually has quite a few anti-cheat scripts baked into their code, for example, water generators cannot work on anything other than a planet, trying to place one even after altering the affected code does nothing. You have to replace the entire lua for the water well and the effects config to fix it. Also having the liquid planets changed back to how they used to generate invokes a method where it makes each planet incredibly hostile often with conflicting effects like both extreme heat and cold or aether atmosphere. I dont know how much of that has been patched out but in previous versions at least this was the case. I had to repack frackin universe to prevent it from reverting changes workshop mods made. (full disclosure that i haven't played Frackin in awhile and do not have it set to receive updates due to breaking changes. If I am no longer correct in this, please feel free to tell me so maybe i can actually play with it again.

@ParasiticSquid I'm not going to do something like that for the sole purpose of pissing someone off. I don't think FU has any anti-cheat scripts in it aside from the Cosmic Crucible trap (which I already made a mod to disable), much less any related to spawning currencies since, if they have the game check if the quantity is greater than 1, they'd be affecting *all* stacks of that currency, regardless if it was cheated because currency items do not recognize parameters. While it's true we were once on bad terms, last time I checked, it is no longer the case.

I considered reenabling the smiley it but never got around to it, mainly because they could just outright remove the debug stuff in response. That being said, I may make a mod that makes all research nodes free to unlock, though the player would still have to manually unlock each one. It isn't a priority though. Maybe they removed the smiley face because it was a developer tool and active development has stopped?

Re-enabling the smiley face alone might get him heated lol

Huh, another sayter-lite eh? At least this one seems to have had the decent sense to give up instead of keep forcing his playstyle on others. Ironically sayter himself has said FU is basically inactive for the most part with no future content updates at all. Someone could fork it and while him and his crew can make threats and attack people, they literally can't actually do anything legit since they did the exact same thing to make FU. Sometimes even outright stealing others mods to integrate for extra content.

Maybe you could go after sayters own anti-cheat scripts at some point. I bet they exist since vanilla doesn't have the issue where if you spawn more then one currency they all turn into PGI's like FU's does. Besides, the guy already hates you and bad talked you on discord quite a bit. You wouldn't be changing the status quo there if you ticked him off more, might even be fun to watch since no one seems to try standing up to him for long
