Most players would like to start with a 10 10 10 10 main character and its very easy to do with cheat engine.

Start a new game and change all stats to 1 (this can be done on an existing game with minor difficulty)

Open cheat engine and open the caravaneer 2 process

Click Hex box and search for an array of byte

I made a spreadsheet of what each stat is in hex for quick reference. I have not taken the time to understand why each number is listed that way but its currently not important.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1755811979778545159/CB09DD06B1FF0D8A41DFCF8E1D1F40FF1F5887D9/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Each hex variable is listed in 4 sets of 2 EXample --- 00 00 00 00-------- the first set of 0's is a mix of numbers and letters (unknown why) the the rest of the 3 sets of 0's are carry over spots and are numbered 00 - 99.

since the starting characters stats are 1 1 1 1 and the game is coded in this order physical > agility > accuracy > Intelligence using the handy reference from earlier we need to search for 0E000000 0E000000 0E000000 0E000000
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1755811979778588879/5F71BF276633CE4D81DAF20920F076DD891123C0/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

If your lucky there will only be 1 found value but if you have 2 or more like i did you can either change the value in game and use the next scan button like this

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1755811979778629109/D6841EBC89B03EF16A52A12089B1F583F70B357C/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

You can also change the values in cheat engine and see the value change in the game (fyi you need to click something in game to see the value update)
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1755811979778652624/096AD25F3788A81EF5AACC747783F0387FAFF759/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Now while you can change all your stats to insane amounts you absolutely do not want change Agility Accuracy or intelligence above 31 because if your speed gets too high (agility) you cant interact with anything because your moving to fast and battle maps grow bigger and bigger based off accuracy and skills which is influenced off intelligence and as such become impossible to render after an unknown skill level

As such change values however you want and enjoy.

FYI with a crazy high STR stat you will have Next to no HP/ be wounded and moving slower then dirt. Recommended to start a new game in story mode so you can have free healing because you will not have the millions or billions of cash to pay for all that health at the start of the game.

So after you make enough money doing the regular trading portion and decide its time to start industries you might be wondering if cheat engine can help you in producing billions of product per day? Yes it can!!! Its so powerful that you can use it to edit cities populations, water well level, and how many people are unemployed.

I will use a water well to cover it and all other industries and after that the tricks to change population and unemployment.

This water well is size 27 so that means its Hex ID can be found with DE so lets scan for DE.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1755811979778800493/92F9DB54208D038605963074D2AD75DCFBF54159/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

As you can see the game has found 4332 different and theres currently no real way edit its level in game so the only way to update it is to save the game in case the game crashes and change batches of the 4332 until you narrow down which one is the water well. Remember to change back the original values since they could easily ♥♥♥♥ something up and to remove the values that you dont want to edit.

Eventually you will narrow it down to a manageable number and you can change them individually

As you can see its changed to 7 and now lets me expand it for unknown reasons. so lets change all the values back to DE and keep the 3E value because thats our water well.

Im kinda Thirsty right now so lets change it to something like FE 99 99 15

If you have an industry you can easily expand and shrink you can use it + freed slaves to find both the city population and unemployed hex locations and edit as you see fit.
