Beta 8.1 comes with a few new Wizard Mode features, plus I've also gone and openly documented some of the ones you technically had access to before but that I hadn't mentioned (some people found them, though :P).

The Wizard Mode How-to has been updated to include the full list as it stands now. More will be coming in future versions.

Here are the brand new console commands:

  • "p2b": Toggle the market chart in Pay2Buy mode, showing the current base price modifiers for each item subtype
  • "c":  Set corruption to 99; follow with a number to set it to that value (ex: "c 0") 
  • "exiles_seeds [XXX]": Generate an exiles_seeds.txt file containing XXX number of world seeds and the Exiles prototypes that appear in the vault for that seed

And keyboard commands:

  • Ctrl-Shift-Alt-i: Toggle the t[i]me queue debugger, which displays the current relative time units of every AI on the map, as well as the full turn queue at the left of the map view

Note that unlike the first dedicated wizard mode release, from now on all versions of Cogmind are wizard mode compatible assuming you have the key. The latest key will always be available/updated in the main post.

Thank *you* :). Got yet more to do with it, and I imagine there'll always be a little wizardry with each release.

With p2b command I noticed that the prices fluctuate gradually rather than reacting to purchase linearly and instantly, as if there is robots' wall street behind it. It's not only Interesting behavior but also likely good design.

Hehe, robot Wall St. :D Indeed, it's not linear, nor is it instant. That approach of course would've been the easier way to do it, but wouldn't be nearly as fun or realistic! It was just a little more work to do it as is, and this mode was already going to be a fair bit of work, so might as well :) The lack of linearity is how Zyalin managed to get his armor prices up in the 30k range by buying so much, haha!
