The Crust Cheats — WeMod Trainer, Cheat Tables & Money Cheats

Short answer: The Crust has no console commands and no cheat menu — there's no developer console to open with a key combo in any version through 1.05. What players actually use instead: the WeMod trainer (11 cheat toggles), Cheat Engine tables, and economy mods from Nexus that work like money cheats. Here's each option and what to watch out for.

The WeMod trainer (11 cheats)

The most-used cheat tool for The Crust is the WeMod trainer for the Steam version — it's also what ranks for console-command searches, because it's the closest thing the game has to cheats. It ships 11 toggles:

 1. Set Credits
 2. Add 100 Fundamental Daily Income
 3. Add 100 Engineering Daily Income
 4. Add 100 Social Daily Income
 5. Unlimited Robot Energy
 6. Massive Scout Speed
 7. Set Robot Movement Speed Multiplier
 8. Unlimited Battery Charge
 9. Unlimited Modules Health
10. Fast Research
11. Massive Fuel Generator

The trainer launched July 19, 2024 and was updated through December 2025; WeMod auto-detects your installed game version. Trainers are third-party memory editors: use them in single-player at your own risk, and expect toggles to break for a few days after each game patch until WeMod updates.

Cheat tables (Cheat Engine)

Cheat Engine tables for The Crust circulate on CE forums and board communities. Unlike the trainer, there's no maintained official table — quality varies, and a table built for an older build (the catalog stretches back to 0.99.x early access) can crash or corrupt values on 1.05. If you go this route:

1. Match the table's stated game version to yours before attaching.
2. Back up your save first — cheap insurance, and Steam Cloud keeps the last copy.
3. Expect to re-download a new table after every patch.

For most players the trainer above is the more stable route; the mods catalog in our mods & console guide covers the rest.

Money cheat alternatives

There's no money cheat built into the game, but there are two fast lanes to the same result:

Mods that act like money cheats (all in the Nexus catalog, check 1.05 compatibility):

Mod	Effect
Market Price 10	Stock-market prices vary 1–10 so you buy cheap
3X Everything	Production speed, storage and costs ×3
Comfortable Game ×5–×10	Storage ×10, build speed ×5, conveyors ×5
More Ore and Veins	More ore and vein spawns to exploit
Edit Energy Cells	Direct energy cell editing

Legit in-game shortcuts: credits in The Crust come from selling produced goods and trading with the rival Earth factions — tightening a production line often out-earns any trainer toggle. See the base layouts for the refinery row most players converge on, the recipes guide for high-value chains, and automation for scaling output.

Achievements warning

One popular Nexus mod's own description notes that custom sandbox settings can affect achievement eligibility in the stock game. If achievements matter to you, check what a trainer toggle, cheat table or mod touches before using it in an achievement run.

Bottom line

• No console, no cheat menu — anything claiming otherwise is outdated or clickbait.
• Quick credits or fast research: the WeMod trainer is the maintained, one-click option.
• Free building and QoL boosts: Nexus economy mods, installed manually (install guide).
• Long-run profit: legit production scaling — start with the beginner tips.
