Note: Improper tinkering of game files may cause problems with the installation; proceed at your own risk.
Look for your game's installation path. (Normally its in C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire) Look for the galaxy folder.
Within the "Galaxy" folder, you'll see all sorts of systems from the game, tutorials, and more. Right-click on any file in the "Galaxy" folder and open it with Notepad. You should see the following string at the top of the text file:
These strings mean different things, and represent upgrade choices that can increase tactical capacity, population, and more. Here's what they mean specifically:
If you head back to the same text file and scroll to the very bottom, you'll find a section that starts with "playercount [#]". You should find it right after the section describing the phase line connections. The section starting with "player 0" represents you. The three strings "startingcredits", "startingmetal", and "startingcrystal" are values of your starting material that can each be changed to a maximum of 9999. Change those values freely.
1. Start a new game and play as usual, giving the other empires time to build up their resources.
2. When you're ready to steal resources (as you're running low on resources yourself), save your game, quit, and then reload another empire to play as.
3. Once you have loaded your alternate empire, go to the Diplomacy menu. Send the resources from this empire to your "normal", default empire.
4. Save the game, quit, and reload your original empire. The resources sent from the alternate empire should now be there -- you can repeat this as much as you want.
