Surviving Mars Message Board  

There is a small issue but not a major one. The starting funds option doesn't work for the Paradox Interactive sponsor, it is the lowest starting budget sponsor at just 4000M. The cargo capacity option works though. Could be a memory limitation? I've tried with every other sponsor & this is the only one with this issue. Maybe workshop sponsors with the exact starting budget might have the same issue but regardless, I just wanted to address that here. Thanks making a trainer for such a great game!

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, just not sure what. I can get either the starting cash to work or the rocket capacity, but not both at the same time.

Just by entering the word 'paradox' in the search function for this thread I found out that this was already asked multiple times and also answered twice.

Thank you for the reply, but I still have the same problem. I was able ONE TIME to get the page up which allows me to input the various amounts required. How this happened I have no idea, since any later attempts using alt-tab after clicking on the "little house" either in the game or out of it, have yielded zero returns. That time I played as USA and everything worked as per specification. Then I tried to start a new game and... nothing. I clicked madly on the little house of the "flag" of the CH trainer which appears in the lower right corner of my screen after the trainer loads, went in the game to the sponsor page and hit alt-tab and was not successful. I even tried clicking the little house again when alt-tab brought the CH flag to the forefront. This had no effect whatever on having the in-game screen pop up when hitting alt-tab after selecting a sponsor. So for me, this only works if I chose the sponsor that already exists in the trainer, the International one I think it is. If there was a way I could edit those amounts first without being in the game I would do that. I would enter the game, read the numbers, exit the game and modify the stats, then re-enter and apply the numbers and be happy. Though it may appear for others, it is recalcitrant for me. Clicking on the "little house" does not produce any numbers that I can modify anywhere on the screen that I can see. If there were an actual "hot key" that would absolutely, without fail, bring up the screen into which the numbers are entered that would be good! If it would do it even when I wasn't in the game that would still be good. Now... I can only play on the "very easy" mode that the trainer is set to, which is kind of restrictive. I still appreciate your help, and any further suggestions would be warmly received and tried. Thanks for your help so far.

The "litte house" I was referring to the main page of the trainer in the upper left corner to make sure the options area is active, nothing to do with the game.

If by "main page" you mean the large icon that appears in the bottom right corner of my screen when I load the trainer, then yes, I click on that. If you mean there is a way to actually view the trainer full screen then no... I don't seem to be aware of a way to do that. When I click on the "little house" or home icon, it just sits there unchanging, immutable, reticent. Nothing happens. The so called "main page", if there is such a thing, is only a dream to me if it is not that rather large icon at the bottom right of my screen. So tell me... what the heck am I doing wrong? When I alt-tab to the thing in the game I get a half page of print telling me things the trainer did upon loading, including telling me I'm running it as an administrator etc. While holding alt-tab... Here I would put parenthesis and explain that I must continue to hold alt-tab while viewing the pages for the game and the trainer, for if I release the two keys ie alt-tab, or indeed either one of them, that view is gone... and so while holding them I can click on the little house of the page with the print but it immediately closes me out of the alt-tab view and I'm back to the game. Surely there is some setting or other with which I am currently unaware that might rectify this, but alas... I don't know it. Have you some other hint for me? I truly appreciate your efforts so far. Please help me!

I am replying to... well, myself actually. I just tried something new. I click-dragged on that rather large icon thingy I described above, and viola! The page was hiding there the whole time. You can actually drag the page into the full screen to view it. Sheesh! What a bonehead I was! Now I can modify the amounts before even going in the game it seems. So... I'll try that now. I'm sorry for the trouble. Other previous trainers did not seem to respond to attempts to drag them into the screen to view them. Either that or I am less adept than I remember being at dragging things. I am terribly sorry for taking up your time. Or as they say now... My bad!!! I'm off to try it out for a stimulating game of Surviving Mars.

The trainer has been working great since I learned to drag it to the center of my screen. However tomorrow, April 25th they are supposed to be adding some new stuff to the game. Since your trainer reads and mods the "data base" is this going to be a problem? In other words, do you think we will be clamoring for an updated trainer tomorrow?
