This is a save editor for Graveyard Keeper.

The Python version works on Windows, Linux and macOS. For Windows a .exe version available too.

It can load and save *.dat files. Additionally you can export the loaded save to JSON, which has a similar structure to the original .json save files. (The difference is, that information about types of variables is saved in the file, meaning every value is wrapped in an object). When exporting to JSON you can also choose .html to have a website where you can relatively easily edit the save in the browser console and then export it again.

The Application uses a webbrowser as a GUI (by default Chrome in App Mode, but during development FireFox was tried too - f.e. Opera should work too, but watch out for your Opera version - see Issue #54).

I want to add I am not responsible if you break your save file, I try to mantain this editor in a way, in which it can't break save files (or not by mistake) but it is still possible that this editor produces a bugged save file (if you for example add an item in a quality in which the item doesn't exist. - although in non expert mode the editor will prevent saving your file when a non existant item is selected).

That is why you always should backup your save files. (In the settings of the editor you can also set the number of backups the editor should create (which are zipped) - on saving the editor all backups are shifted by one, so if set it to 3 backups and save 4 times, your oldest backup is lost).

But I want to mention the last time someone asked for help due to a save broken by the save editor was in september 2018 and since then I also took additional measures.

This Editor supports the DLCs (Stranger Sins + Game Of Crone + Better Save Soul) - in the editor you have toggles to enable or disable DLC Support

• Money
• Red, green, blue technology points
• HP
• Energy
• Current Time
• Your inventory size
• Your inventory items
• Inventories of all (or at least most) storage units
• Your relationships with NPC's (only if you interacted with them before and have more than 0)
• Additionally utilities like:
  • Removing all drops
  • Setting the worker efficiency to any value you want
  • Turning the graves into perfect graves
  • Complete the entire tech tree (state is pre DLC)
  • Fix if the donkey is stuck
  • Reset the morgue body counter should it be broken
  • Remove stuck church goes
  • Reset your dungeon

If you have Python installed, you can directly use the master branch (download here) and go over to Installing the Python version. This method of installation works on any platform (Windows, Linux, macOS).

If you are on Windows and do not have Python installed, you can download a .zip file containing a .exe instead. You can find this .zip file on the releases page. The downloaded archive has a bundled version of Python with all necessary modules.

• Download this as zip and extract it any folder
• Get Python (>=3.4)
• If you are using a macOS/Linux system where python is by default Python 2.x, replace python with python3. Additionally according to users you might also need to install python-tk if it is not yet included in your distribution.
• Install dependencies using python -m pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Execute the file with python main.py (in the console with the folder where main.py resides as working directory - to simplify this just create a run.bat (Windows) or run.sh (Linux) in the directory with the same content)
• Enjoy

Linux / Ubuntu:

• /home/$USER/.config/unity3d/Lazy Bear Games/Graveyard Keeper/

MacOS:

• /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/unity.LazyBearGames.GraveyardKeeper/

Windows:

• C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Lazy Bear Games\Graveyard Keeper

Warning: The application supports variables in the path starting with 0.1.17. If you use an earlier version manually fill in your user name for the variables.

Considering the application has a GUI it should be self explanatory. If a red border appears around an item, it means the save editor doesn't have this item indexed. Either because the item doesn't exist, or it was added in an update which wasn't included yet in the editor. Same if an item doesn't have a preview image.

If you want to manually edit save files, when you change values, watch out if you change the type of the variable. F.e. if you would change a value from 0 to 1, the type would change and you would need to manually change the type to the correct one. For information about the possible types, check types.py in the data folder.

If you want to know how to manually edit saves or see some additional infos about the saves you can check out the following document here.

Supply me a screenshot with the console output (or the copied text). If you are using the compiled windows version and a black window appears and then disappears it means the application crashes because of some error. To view the error code to be able to send it to me: In the folder where you have the .exe file, Shift + Rightclick in a free space and in the context menu there should be an option like Open Command Prompt here or Open Powershell here, click that, begin writing Graveyard and then press tab to autocomplete and enter to execute - now you should start the application using that console window. This time the window won't close after execution, meaning you have time to make a screenshot of the error.

This repository contains content which I do not own. Notably all the image files in the /data/html/rsc folder. These are by Lazy Bear Games. Additionally jQuery and Materialize are also used. Their original licenses are still included. This application uses extracted strings like f.e. localisation files. These are also by Lazy Bear Games. If you find any bugs / mistakes, feel free to open issues, or if you know how to fix it yourself, feel free to create a pull request.

For those interested, here is the command I use to generate the folder which I then zip and upload as release:

(I have this saved as build.bat in the same folder)

py -3.8  -m eel main.py "./data/html" -n "Graveyard Keeper Savefile Editor" -i "./data/html/favicon.ico" --exclude PyQt5 --exclude win32com --exclude pydoc --exclude lib2to3 -y --additional-hooks-dir=hooks

In the hooks directory there is a file called hook-eel.py with the content:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_all

datas, binaries, hiddenimports = collect_all('eel')
