These are all the extra options I put into the game from cosmetic changes to cheats and even to alternate storylines.
All of these extra options have a CLI trigger as well. Run the app with -? for more info.

The Cheats
- Kohr Stahp
- The Kohr-Ah will be frozen on the spot and will not move forward with the cleansing. This cheat literally stops the Kohr-Ah in their tracks when activated.
- God Mode
-
This is a lengthy one: This makes any ship you control indestructible, including the landers.
Also refills your ship's energy every time you fire either one of your weapons and allows your
lander to precisely land where you select.
Here is a brief list of other things godMode does:- Orz marines do not harm player
- Syreen song does not affect the player
- Melnorme confusion ray does not affect the player
- VUX limpets do nothing to the player
- Chmmr Avatar has 5 ZapSats instead of 3
This cheat only works against computer controlled opponents. - Time Dilation
-
Slows down or speeds up the game clock depending on the option selected
- 0 = Normal game clock | IP = 30 seconds | HS = 5 seconds
- 1 = Slow game clock | IP = 3 minutes | HS = 30 seconds
- 2 = Fast game clock | IP = 5 seconds | HS = 1 second
- Add All Devices
- Self-explanatory. Give you all the devices.
- Bubble Warp
- Instantaneous travel to any point on the starmap. Uses up fuel.
- Unlock Ships
- Unlocks all the ships available in the main game for construction at the shipyard. Persists through game saves.
- Head Start
- Gives you all of the minerals in the Sol system, Fwiffo, and the Moonbase so you can skip the New Game slog.
- Unlock Upgrades
- Unlocks all of the Melnorme tech upgrades.
- Infinite RU
- Give you virtually infinite R.U. while the cheat is active. Does not persist through game saves.
- Infinite Fuel
- Does what it says on the tin. Fuel is no object, you'll have an infinity symbol where the fuel counter is. If you try to save the game with the cheat enabled it will save with the amount of fuel you had from the loaded save and if you save from a new game it will save with only 10 units of fuel.
