Even though we LavaMinders are philosophically opposed to the concept of cheating, we have incorporated a few strategic cheat buttons into Gazillionaire. We don't like the idea of simply allowing players to increase their cash to astronomical amounts with the press of a button, so don't expect this kind of cheating. Instead, we have added cheats that if used properly will give you an edge over your competitors. However, they are not so powerful as to completely warp the game-play.
The Voyager Cheat: From the Voyager Insurance Menu or from the Main Menu, you can press Ctrl-V. This will randomly generate a new insurance price. We recommend using this cheat if the original insurance price is high. In this case, there is a high probability that you will save some kubars. However, if the price of insurance is already low, we don't recommend using this cheat button. It just may backfire on you.
The Passenger Cheat: From the Passenger Menu or the Main Menu, you can press Ctrl-P. This will randomly generate a new group of passengers waiting to be picked up. We recommend using this cheat if the original number of passengers waiting to be picked up is very low. In this case, there is a high probability that you will increase the number of passengers for the week. However, if the number of passengers waiting to travel on your ship is reasonable, we don't recommend using this cheat button. It just may backfire on you.
The Buyers Cheat: While inside the Marketplace Menu, you can press Ctrl-B to bring up a random commodity for you to buy. Sometimes this will payoff and other times you'll get worthless goods. But don't worry, this cheat cannot backfire on you. If you don't like the random commodity, you don't have to buy it. It just increases the choice of products available for you to choose from.
The Fuel Cheat: From the Fuel Menu or from the Main Menu, you can press Ctrl-F to randomly generate a new fuel price. We recommend using this cheat if the original fuel price is high. In this case, there is a high probability that you will save some kubars. However, if the price of fuel is already low, we don't recommend using this cheat button. It just may backfire on you.
