Cheats

Cheats for all editions (SR2010, SR2020 and SR-CW, SR1936, SRUltimate, SRGW).
Cheats are allowed only in single-player mode.

Cheats are activated during an active game session. For Supreme Ruler 2010 start by pressing the "Enter" key.

For all other games press the CTRL+SHIFT+S key combination. This will cause a game settings dialog box to appear. Type " " into the bottom text box followed by the "Enter" key.

The following cheat codes are supported (quotation marks not used):
 * " " Causes the SR cheat mode to be activated. In SR2020 a taunting red message will appear at the top of the dialog box if you have successfully turned on cheats. Cheat mode cannot be exited except by quitting the game session.

A particular cheat can be toggled on and off by repeatedly typing the same cheat code.
 * " " Causes the World Market or the U.N. to have 0% relations with you. In SR2020 your U.N. membership may be lost.
 * " ". Hides the GUI for full map screenshots. (not a properly usable feature in SR2020 due to how the map is drawn above the bottom GUI)
 * " " Launches new Reconnaissance and Communications satellites without requiring that the player fabricate them.
 * " " Removes many computer calculations normally performed by each of the many units in the game. This makes the game go much faster. Many automatic but CPU time-consuming game tasks required to support each unit in the game are turned off, which speeds up the game up massively. For example - every unit performs "spotting" where each unit analyzes all of it's surrounding hexes. Each unit then compares its own spotting strength to the stealth strength of all other units found surrounding it. Unit spotting, pathing, movement, firing, refueling and re-supplying, etc. - all of these computations are turned off. Moving units are stopped until the cheat is turned off. Unit fabrication stops.

The game clock clicks off one day every second. Research stops but Treasury, Production, trade and facility building continue.
 * " " Adds $10 billion to your treasury.
 * " " Sends up a new Reconnaissance satellite.
 * " " Wins the game. Allows you to continue playing if you wish.
 * " " Allows you to build all units whether you have researched them or not. Allows the AI's of the other regions to do this too.
 * " " Causes all units that you order to be fabricated after this cheat is initiated, to be built the next day. Unfortunately the AI can and will do this too, which can slow the game a lot. This does not speed up the construction of bases or fabs. SR2010 only: Your AI can not use this cheat if it's "Auto-build" setting for that unit class is turned off. You can press the Ctrl-H key combination to switch region control and turn that regions's auto-build off, once cheats have been enabled.


 * " " Causes your Tech level to increase by one.
