The Ultimate Doloc Town Cheat Engine Guide (And A Much Easier Alternative)

How do you cheat in Doloc Town? To cheat in Doloc Town, you can manually attach Cheat Engine to the game’s executable and scan for changing numeric values like your exact scrap metal currency count or your companion drone’s energy levels. However, because game updates frequently break Cheat Engine tables (.CT files), the safest and easiest alternative is using an auto-updating mod manager like XMODhub, which provides 1-click cheats without requiring any manual memory scanning.

1. How to Use Cheat Engine for Doloc Town (The Manual Way)

If you want to go the old-school route and find the memory addresses yourself, here is the basic “First Scan/Next Scan” method tailored specifically for this post-apocalyptic farming simulator. Because Doloc Town blends side-scrolling platforming with intense resource management, the most common thing players want to manipulate is their building materials—specifically, Scrap Metal, which you need to stack platforms and build your home upwards.

Here is exactly how to isolate and modify your Scrap Metal inventory in Doloc Town using Cheat Engine:

Step 1: Launch and Attach to the Game Process

First, boot up Doloc Town and load into your saved game where your scavenger character is standing on the farm. Once you are fully loaded into the wasteland environment, minimize the game (Alt+Tab) and open Cheat Engine. Click the glowing PC icon in the top-left corner of the Cheat Engine interface. Scroll through the process list until you find DolocTown.exe (or the corresponding Unity/game engine executable if it’s named slightly differently). Click “Open” to attach the memory scanner to the game.

Step 2: Perform the Initial Scan (First Scan)

Return to your game and open your inventory. Look at your exact number of Scrap Metal. Let’s assume you have exactly 45 pieces of Scrap Metal you gathered from the wastelands. Alt-Tab back to Cheat Engine. In the “Value” box on the right side, type 45. Ensure the “Value Type” is set to 4 Bytes (this is the standard memory allocation for integer-based inventory items in most modern indie games). Click the “First Scan” button. Cheat Engine will likely return thousands of memory addresses on the left panel that currently hold the value of 45. Do not touch them yet.

Step 3: Alter the In-Game Value

You need to force the game to change that specific memory address so you can filter out the garbage data. Go back into Doloc Town. You need to either spend or gain Scrap Metal. The easiest way is to open your building menu and craft a basic wooden/scrap platform to expand your vertical farm space. Let’s say building one platform costs 10 Scrap Metal. After building it, your inventory now shows 35 Scrap Metal.

Step 4: Filter the Results (Next Scan)

Immediately Alt-Tab back to Cheat Engine. Do not click “New Scan.” Instead, change the number in the “Value” box from 45 to 35. Now, click the “Next Scan” button. The massive list of addresses on the left should now shrink dramatically, ideally down to just one or two addresses that successfully changed from 45 to 35 at the exact same time your game did.

Step 5: Modify and Freeze the Memory Address

Double-click the remaining address in the left panel to drop it down into your active cheat list at the bottom of the window. Double-click the number under the “Value” column in the bottom list and change it to 99999. Press Enter. Go back into Doloc Town, move your character or open your inventory again to force a UI refresh, and you will see you now have 99,999 Scrap Metal. If you want infinite resources, click the small checkbox to the left of the address in Cheat Engine to “Freeze” it, meaning the game can never subtract from that number, no matter how many platforms you build or drones you upgrade.

2. Common CE Errors: Pointers Breaking & Not Attaching

If you are pulling your hair out because CE isn’t working for Doloc Town, you aren’t alone. Modding a game that features complex overlapping systems—like crop gene modification, drone automation, and dynamic weather—means the game’s engine is constantly shuffling memory around. Here is what’s probably happening and why your game might be crashing.

Error: “Cannot attach to process” / Game Crashes:

Doloc Town might be using specific engine protections or anti-tamper routines depending on the storefront you purchased it from. When modern games detect a standard Windows API debugger (which is what Cheat Engine uses by default) hooking into their memory space, they often trigger a failsafe that instantly terminates the process to prevent corruption or cheating. To bypass this, you need to configure Cheat Engine to use a different debugging method. Open Cheat Engine, go to Edit > Settings > Debugger Options. Change the debugger method from “Windows Debugger” to “VEH Debugger” (Vectored Exception Handling). VEH operates at a different level of the Windows architecture, catching exceptions before the game’s anti-cheat routines can flag the intrusion. This simple toggle will often stop Doloc Town from crashing to the desktop the moment you try to freeze your fishing rod durability or your character’s health.

The Pointer Problem:

If you’ve ever successfully hacked your Scrap Metal, saved your game, went to sleep in real life, and booted up Doloc Town the next day only to find your cheat no longer works, you have encountered “The Pointer Problem.” Doloc Town uses dynamic memory allocation. This means every time you transition through a loading screen, enter a new fishing pond area, or restart the game, the operating system assigns a completely new, random block of RAM to store your inventory data. The static address you saved in Cheat Engine yesterday (e.g., 0x1A4B9C) is now pointing to empty space or, worse, critical game engine data. If you freeze it now, the game will crash.

To fix this manually, you have to find the “Pointer”—the master address that tells the game where the dynamic address is currently hiding. Finding pointers requires generating a pointer map, attaching a debugger to see “Find out what accesses this address,” reading assembly language (ASM) instructions, and calculating offset chains. In a complex simulation game where thousands of entities (crops, platforms, NPCs, drones) are instantiated and destroyed every minute, pointer chains can be five or six levels deep. Writing custom assembly scripts to inject code and bypass these shifting pointers is incredibly frustrating and requires a deep understanding of reverse engineering. This is exactly why most players abandon manual memory scanning.

3. The Better Alternative: 1-Click Cheats with XMODhub

Here is the dirty little secret of the modding community: Nobody actually wants to spend two hours updating Cheat Engine tables every time a patch drops. The moment Doloc Town updates on Steam—whether it’s a minor bug fix for the seasonal festivals or a major content drop adding new ranching animals—your hard-earned memory addresses and pointer chains shift, and your game crashes to the desktop.

Why XMODhub beats manual CE for Doloc Town:

• Zero Hex Codes Needed: Just toggle a beautiful switch on our UI. You don’t need to know the difference between 4 Bytes and Float.
• Auto-Updating Cloud Tech: When the game patches to fix a broken fishing mechanic or rebalance crop yields, XMODhub updates its trainer automatically behind the scenes. No more broken assembly scripts.
• Premium Features Instant Access:
• Undetected God Mode / Infinite Health (Survive the wastelands effortlessly).
• Unlimited Scrap Metal and Rare Crop Seeds (Build the ultimate vertical farm).

4. Where to Find Safe Doloc Town Cheat Tables (.CT)?

If you absolutely insist on using CE, you’ll want a pre-made Cheat Table (.CT file) created by a veteran reverse engineer. However, this comes with massive caveats. Searching Google for a “Doloc Town cheat engine table” will yield dozens of results from obscure forums, shady Discord servers, and unverified file-sharing sites.

You must understand the severe cybersecurity risks involved in downloading random .CT files. A Cheat Table is not just a text file containing memory addresses; it is capable of executing complex Lua scripts directly on your machine with administrative privileges. Malicious actors frequently disguise trojans, keyloggers, and silent crypto-miners within these Lua scripts. When you open the infected .CT file and click “Execute Script” to enable your infinite farming stamina, the script can simultaneously download a payload in the background, compromising your entire PC, stealing your Steam session tokens, or hijacking your GPU to mine cryptocurrency.

Even on reputable modding forums, older tables are rarely moderated for safety once the original author abandons them. Furthermore, because Doloc Town is an actively updated game, a safe table from six months ago is now completely useless and will only serve to instantly crash your game. This is precisely why a verified, professionally maintained application like XMODhub is the safe choice. XMODhub’s development team reverse-engineers the game in a controlled environment and delivers the cheats through a secure, encrypted client, ensuring that you never have to expose your PC to untrusted third-party scripts just to get some extra building materials.

5. Advanced CE Tactics: Using AOB Injections

For players who refuse to give up on manual modification, bypassing the aforementioned “Pointer Problem” requires stepping away from static memory addresses and utilizing Array of Bytes (AOB) Scanning. Because Doloc Town’s Unity engine constantly shifts where your data lives, you need to find the actual assembly instruction that writes to your health or inventory, rather than the address itself.

By attaching a debugger and finding out “what writes to this address,” you can isolate the specific opcode (e.g., mov eax, [ebx+04]). Once you have this instruction, you can scan the game’s memory for its unique byte signature—a string of hexadecimals that remains identical regardless of where the game loads into RAM. You then write a custom Auto-Assemble script in Cheat Engine to inject a “Code Cave.” This script intercepts the game’s natural logic, forces it to give you 999 Scrap Metal, and then returns to the normal code flow.

While AOB injection is highly effective and survives most minor game updates, writing these scripts requires a fundamental understanding of x86/x64 assembly language. One incorrect byte in your injection script will result in an immediate, unrecoverable hard crash of Doloc Town.

Understanding what you want to modify dictates how hard it will be to execute. Based on community feedback and search volume, here are the most sought-after modifications for Doloc Town, alongside the technical reality of how the game’s engine processes them.

As you can see, while modifying basic inventory items is relatively straightforward, attempting to freeze dynamic variables like drone energy or crop growth timers manually will almost certainly lead to instability.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use Cheat Engine on the Xbox Game Pass version of Doloc Town?

A: Usually, no. Game Pass uses strict UWP (Universal Windows Platform) file encryption and sandboxing that actively blocks Cheat Engine from reading the game’s memory space. If you try to attach CE to a Game Pass executable, it will typically throw an “Access Denied” error. However, XMODhub is specifically engineered to bypass these UWP restrictions seamlessly, allowing you to cheat on the Game Pass version just as easily as the Steam version.

Q: Is it illegal to use Cheat Engine?

A: Modifying data on your own PC for a single-player experience like Doloc Town is completely legal. You own the hardware and you are modifying the local memory running on your RAM. There are no laws against giving yourself infinite fish or crop genes. Just never bring memory editors into a multiplayer server or competitive game, as that violates Terms of Service and will result in an account ban. Since Doloc Town is a solo post-apocalyptic farming adventure, you are completely safe.

Q: Will using Cheat Engine drop my FPS or slow down my PC?

A: Yes, it can, depending on how you use it. When you perform a “First Scan” using Cheat Engine, it has to read gigabytes of RAM in a matter of seconds, which will temporarily spike your CPU usage to 100% and cause the game to freeze or stutter. Furthermore, if you “Freeze” a value (like forcing your health to stay at 100), Cheat Engine is actively writing to that memory address dozens of times per second. In a heavily populated farm with hundreds of automated drones and growing crops, constantly forcing memory overwrites can cause micro-stutters and frame pacing issues. XMODhub avoids this by injecting clean code caves that modify the game’s instruction set directly, rather than brute-forcing the memory values, resulting in zero FPS loss.

Conclusion: Work Smarter, Not Harder

Learning how memory manipulation works in Cheat Engine is a cool flex. It teaches you about hexadecimals, data types, and how game engines handle variables. But let’s be real—when you come home from a long day at work, you just want to spawn in that legendary Titanium Fishing Rod, fully upgrade your automated combat drone, and wreck some wasteland enemies without taking a computer science class in reverse engineering.

Doloc Town offers over 130 hours of gameplay, but much of that can be a tedious grind for survival resources. Why spend 45 minutes digging through shifting hex codes and crashing your game when you can click one button and instantly get God Mode? And the best part? XMODhub supports over 5,000+ PC games. Once you install the app, you can ditch the complicated cheat tables for good and focus on building the post-apocalyptic farm of your dreams.
