A UI-based cheat panel accessible from the left sidebar in the map menu. Provides tools to edit player stats, inventory, research, blueprints, faction relations, galaxy exploration state, spawning capabilities, object destruction, and ship crew promotion - all through a clean, tab-based interface.
Warning: Spawning unusual objects (such as multiple Player HQs) can corrupt saves. Use responsibly.
Idea Author made decision to leave the community and removed the original Cheat UI mod. Taking in account his decision to remove all his stuff from the Nexus Mods, I decided to do all my best to replace his part in the latest version of Cheat UI maintained by me and create a new mod called Safe Cheat Panel.
The new mod currently not contains the "development mode" features as I focused on the "safe" features first, but I plan to add them in the future.
Take in account: id of the mod and folder is changed to safe_cheat_panel.

Debug logging can be enabled to write detailed information about the mod's operations to the X4 log file, which is useful for troubleshooting.
