+ | <nowiki>Example of removing the Toxic Fallout event from the game: open the save file with Wordpad, press Ctrl+F and search for 'toxicfallout'. You will see a list of <li>events</li>. See where in the list 'ToxicFallout' is (for me at the bottom). Below that list is a list of <li>numbers</li>. Change the number to '0' between <li></li> which is in the same position in the list as 'ToxicFallout' was in the previous list (bottom one for me). It will now never occur again.</nowiki> | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Actually I'm not sure if this works, since it says 'lastqueueticks', maybe those values are how long it's been since you last encountered such events. Needs testing [[User:Weslington|Weslington]] ([[User talk:Weslington|talk]]) 23:06, 9 August 2016 (UTC).''' | ||

+ | |||
+ | <nowiki>Also if currently you would be experiencing this Toxic Fallout and would want to remove it not only for the future, but also immediately, do the following: Ctrl+F in the save file and search for 'activeconditions'. You will find: <activeConditions> <li> 'some text regarding the Toxic Fallout' </li> </activeConditions>. Change this to only 1 line with just this: <activeConditions />.</nowiki> So you would have [http://puu.sh/qtTAx/20ec8138cd.png this.] | ||
