Prep Work
Save location:
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\LocalLow\BellularStudios\The Pale Beyond

The save file in question should be the latest one or the second to latest one.

You need a text editor for the job. You can use Notepad but I'd suggest Notepad++ due to backup functions and whatnot. Either works.

Always back up your game before you edit.
Loyalty
Ctrl+F and look for strings like these:
\"LOYALTY_Templeton\":

This is for Templeton but you can do the same thing with the other major crew members. Their codes are lumped together.
Items
For items, search for strings like these:
\"Item_Fish_Owned\":

This is for fish, if you want to search for the general location, just look for
\"Item_
and you should find a bunch of them lumped together. Change the number. The variables are named in a very self-explanatory manner.

Once you get to a save with tinned food, coal bags and medical comforts. Just cheat those. Give yourself like 100 of each and you'd probably be settled for the game.

Still works. If you're editing the file but you don't see the values once you load the game it's cause you've accidentally edited the wrong save file instead.
You can consider the last save game the file that does not contain the following string:
childMemoryIDs

Has this been patched in some way? The item amounts don't seem to update for me after reloading.

To get Hard Mode achievement using your old original classic difficulty save game, find your save game from week 40, then with notepad++ replace the following string:
variablesState\":{
with
variablesState\":{\"DifficultyMode\":\"^Hard\",
this will add the hard difficulty tag to your save. Then load it and finish the game. Achievement should pop right before credits start rolling. Enjoy!

Is there a way to change the name of the main character? I would love to name/edit the main character to my own real name.

@Kannon If you try to edit your food/fuel resources, game doesn't allow you to do that only after week 3 starts. You can find the editable resources array by searching:
variablesState\":{

@Flowreen, how exactly do the Resource Edits work? I followed your instructions, and it shows it on my Save Tree but when I go into that Save, it doesn't actually change the values in my save. Mind telling me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Other fun stuff you can do to improve your gameplay experience by editing your save file:

You are worried that resource management in this game is too hard for you?
Search any of the following strings and replace the value with a big number like 9999:
RESOURCE_FOOD, RESOURCE_FUEL, RESOURCE_DECORUM, RESOURCE_FUEL_MAX, RESOURCE_FOOD_MAX
This will remove the fear of ever running out of that resource and you can finally enjoy the narrative storyline!

You are worried that too many crew members are alive?
Search the following string in the save file to find each character in the game:
Facts\":{\"list\":{
and add to the right of it the dead state:
/"sharedFacts.dead/":2 ,
This will kill the selected character without you having to find the actual story path to end their life. Rest in peace doggo.

You are worried that the stupid captain steals all your votes in the end?
Replace the following two strings using the "replace all" feature of the editor:
loyaltyFacts.LoyalToHunt\":2
loyaltyFacts.LoyalToTempleton\":3
with
loyaltyFacts.LoyalToPlayer\":1
This will guarantee that they vote for you.

Don't forget to always backup the whole save folder. If loading a save game gets stuck with black screen, it means that you edited the save file in a wrong way and it cannot be parsed by the game.
