==Game File Bug Fixes==

===Cash Rollover Bug Fix===
If you have so much money that it all of a sudden it becomes negative (eg: $-2,168,000,000), you can delete the [[LIGLOB.DAT]] file and replace it from a new savegame. You cash becomes approx $4mil which is what is available from the new game. 

===Research Bug Fix===
If your research progress has become corrupted due to the bugs in the research tree of TFTD, replace the [[RESEARCH.DAT]], [[UP.DAT]], [[PROJECT.DAT]], [[PRODUCT.DAT]], [[BPROD.DAT]] with files from a new saved game if you don't want to use a hex-editor. 

==Game File Exploits==

==Bottomless Money Pit==
Insert a [[LIGLOB.DAT]] file from an old game that has lots of money, into a new game. You will inherit the cash balance of the old game. Or you can copy the file from a new savegame, in which case your cash becomes approx $4mil (the amount available at the start of a new game).  

===Enlightened Xcom===
The Research Bug Fix (above) can be abused by inserting old files from a completed game into the save folder of a new game. The files to insert are [[UP.DAT]], [[RESEARCH.DAT]], [[FACIL.DAT]] and [[PRODUCT.DAT]].
