The following is a list of byte offsets for hex-editing the BASE.DAT
file of saved game directories from Microprose's Terror From the
Deep (XCOM2). USE THIS FILE AT YOUR OWN RISK. PLEASE MAKE BACKUPS
OF ANY SAVED GAME FILES YOU INTEND TO MODIFY.
I didn't/don't have time to write an editor using this info, but I
imagine someone eventually will. For now, the following information
is useful if you want to modify your base stores/facilities to get
some quick firepower.
Each base has the following record of byte offsets (bases follow
sequentially)

DA-FD Base Facility Placement
N.B.--the base is a 6x6 grid. These 36 bytes
represent that grid from top left to bottom
right.
Values for particular facilities:
00 Air Lock 09 Gauss Defences
01 Living Quarters 0A Sonic Defenses
02 Lab 0B P.W.T. Defences
03 Workshop 0C Bombardment Shield
04 Standard Sonar 0D M.C. Generator
05 Wide Array Sonar 0E M.C. Lab
06 Torpedo Defences 0F Transmission
Resolver
07 General Stores FF empty
08 Alien Containment
Sub Pen:
10 Upper Left quarter 11 Upper Right quarter
12 Lower Left quarter 13 Lower Right quarter
To redesign your base, I'd suggest mapping it out
on a 6x6 grid and then writing the facility values
down from top left to bottom right.
FE-121 Base Facility Construction Time
These 36 bytes correspond one to one to the
above 36 bytes, and the hex value contained
herein is how many days remaining
construction time for the facility Put a 00
in each block to have all facilities
completed
122-127 ?
*****END of first base record*******
Each base has the above format.....
A few of the byte offsets didn't *seem* to have any influence--I've
marked these with a question mark--if anyone discovers what purpose
these serve, please drop me an e-mail or post a message on the War
Games/Strategy Games Boards....
HexCheat:
Edit the file liglob.dat with the hex editor and change the first
four byte s to FF FF FF 79. Now you have the max amount of money.
HexCheat:
You also can edit the file soldier.dat, and change the following
offsets to A0:
0010 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx ZE GE AU WG xx xx
0020 xx SG ST xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
0040 xx MF xx MS xx RE xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
ZE = time, GE = health, AU = stamnia, WG = throwing (precision)
SG = shooting (precision), ST = strength, MF = M.S. abilities,
MS = M.S. strength, RE = response time
