Developer mode unlocks some dangerous features that may do harm to your files, OS or hardware. Be careful and always make sure you are fully aware of what you do.

Developer mode is a special feature of Infinitode 2, it will unlock these new cool things for you to use:

• Developer console allows to view game's logs and output of your scripts, you can also execute any Lua code there. Press the small button with a terminal icon in the upper left corner of your screen to show it

  Scripts will be executed in the global environment of the game if you run them while not playing on any map. Running scripts during the game will execute them in the scripting environment of the current map

• Item editor allows you to create any item available in Infinitode 2, you will use it frequently to create new tiles for your custom maps. Open the terminal and then press on the backpack icon to open the item editor. You will also find edit buttons in different item menus¹ to quickly open the editor for the selected item
• Custom settings list will allow you to enable special debugging features of the game, such as camera tools, damage particles, debug info of enemies and buildings² etc - you may want to use them to better understand what's going on on the screen and debug your scripts. You can open this list by clicking on the tools icon inside the terminal
• Dev mode also allows you to edit the regular levels in the same way you've eddited your custom maps in the regular version of the game - click on the edit button in the upper left corner of the level's menu. It also allows you to edit the cofiguration of the levels and to add / remove maps, access the level configuration editor by clicking on the tools icon in the menu of any level
• You will also find a couple of new buttons on the Research screen: restart button reloads research configuration from res/researches.json; other buttons will instantly install low / average / maximum research levels (depending on your selected difficulty mode) for you to test your maps with different level of progress

Developer mode also disables some of the game's features to make sure you won't do harm to your account:

• It won't send crash reports to our server
• It won't allow you to use accounts
• Shop, account screen, daily quests and some of the regular levels will not be available - modding developer mode was not made for cheating purposes, otherwise it would kill all of your fun in one day

Important!

• Using developer mode on a regular version of the game / with accounts may lead to a ban
• Make sure you have prepared your game for modding before you start to use the developer mode
• We are not responsible for any harm that may be caused by the developer mode. You are on your own starting with the first second you've started using the developer mode

Remember: never mess with the server.
