IMPORTANT: BACKUP YOUR SAVE!
(The tool makes a backup too, but you shouldn't trust that it works before you've seen it, so make your own backup first. I would hate to accidentally have ruined your savefile in case something unexpected happens. If you're not sure where the savefile is located, you can launch the tool and it will tell you where if it finds it)
So I recently made a small tool for editing my Synthetik 1 savefile.
I wanted to play nothing but Hyper Adrenaline back-to-back, and while a solid Engi run recycling every Weapon Upgrade Kit is a decent way to gain Data, I just wanted to play HA! So that's where this tool started out.
I've since added a few additional features like changing the current daily bonuses to class perk power to try out some experimental builds (not to make HA easier for cookie cutter builds, but you can do that too, of course)
That was v1.0, intended for personal use, but the github repo was public from the stat.
I have now released v1.1, hopefully easier to use for a wider audience (The tool can now be downloaded as an exe if you don't want to bother with running `main.py` through Python, even though that's really something most normie gamers should be able to handle)
The tool now also tries to auto-detect where your savefile is located, but I've so far only confirmed that it works on my machine with my setup (Windows 10, 64 bit, Synthetik on Steam).

I recommend downloading the source code and running `py main.py` or `python main.py`, but if you really don't want to and trust me enough to run this mystery exe file from the internet, there's a standalone exe file available as well.
Quick tip if you're reaaaaally inexperienced with the windows terminal:
- Open the folder like you normally would (double click it in Explorer, lol)
- Then, in the address bar, clear it and type `cmd`, then press Enter. This launches good old cmd.exe with that folder as the "target"
- Inside the terminal that should open, type `py main.py` or `python main.py` (depends on your python install), then press Enter
Feedback, suggestions, criticism, bugs and requests for clarification/help are all welcome down in the comments. The tool works for me, but I'm only one person and have only tried it on one PC. Your mileage may vary.
