[fresh wind]

with cheats enabled, you can claim badges for scenarios you haven't completed. this seems like an oversight/unintended behaviour.

The badge for completing a game mode can be claimed more than once in all game modes.
To Do • Priority: Low • Fix: None

The Operator License for completing a Game Mode can be claimed more than once across all Game Modes. To reproduce, complete all Milestones in a Game Mode, accept the Operator License on the Milestones Screen, save and quit, then reload the same savegame and accept the Operator License again. This can be repeated indefinitely by reloading a completed savegame. The expected behavior is that the Operator License should be a one-time reward that cannot be accepted again after it has already been ...

It is possible to remove the cheats flag from a save
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: Dimension Update [0.1.0] • Resolution: Won't Fix

A player can remove the cheats flag from a Savegame by unzipping it, manually editing the flag out, rezipping the file, and reimporting it into the game. This allows a cheated save to appear as legitimate. The potential impact is that completion rate data or statistics may become inaccurate if players use this method to hide their use of cheats. However, since shapez 2 is a singleplayer game, this issue has been marked as "won't fix" by the development team.

f9 speedup not counted as cheats
Done • Priority: Low • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Resolution: Done

The F9 speedup function in shapez 2 was not flagging the Savegame as cheated, even though it requires cheats to be enabled. When players used only the speedup feature without other cheat commands, the save file remained unflagged. This created an inconsistency where a cheat-gated feature did not mark the game as cheated. The issue has been resolved and now properly flags the Savegame when F9 speedup is used, which can be verified by typing 'help' in the console to see "Savegame flagged" at th...

New players can start locked scenarios
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: None • Resolution: Won't Fix

New players who just downloaded shapez 2 can start locked Scenarios even though they should only have access to the Operator License. When a new user goes to Play and selects any locked Game Mode, they are able to start it without completing the Operator License first. The expected behavior is that players should not be able to start any Game Mode other than the Operator License on first gameplay. This was intentionally designed to allow experienced players to bypass the lock, so it is not a ...
