The biggest limit in EotU is the pheromone-based unit cap. You cannot build more than 300 ants in a normal mission.
Using Cheat Engine, you can find the "Max Units" integer:
Warning: The game engine will lag severely once you have over 1000 ants on screen. Your CPU will cry. Your GPU will scream. But watching 2000 fire ants swarm a tarantula is glorious. cheat engine empires of the undergrowth
Let’s walk through a hypothetical scenario for educational purposes. You are stuck on "Level 2.2: The Harvest." You have 500 food.
You now have infinite food. This is the elementary level. Advanced cheat tables go further, modifying "Egg production speed" or "Enemy spawn limits."
Warning: Empires of the Undergrowth has anti-tampering logic. If you modify the "Food Cap" (the maximum storage limit), the game may crash or corrupt the save. Always back up your AppData\Local\EmpiresOfTheUndergrowth folder before using CE. | Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | Unlock

"Empires of the Undergrowth" Cheat Engine table → Fearless Revolution forums or OpenCheatTables.
Some tables offer:
Let’s assume you are on the Formicarium Challenge Level 1.
Step 1: Launch Empires of the Undergrowth and load your save.
Step 2: Open Cheat Engine, select the EotU process (empires.exe).
Step 3: Set "Value Type" to Float. Set "Scan type" to Exact Value.
Step 4: Look at your current food (e.g., 350). Type 350 into CE and hit "First Scan."
You will likely get 5,000+ results.
Step 5: Go back to the game. Build one worker ant (costs 10 food). Your food is now 340.
Step 6: Type 340 into CE and hit "Next Scan."
Repeat this process (build an ant, scan; harvest a seed, scan) until you have between 1 and 6 addresses. Warning: The game engine will lag severely once
The Critical Trick:
Most EotU addresses look like Empires.exe+2A3F1B0. But food often has two addresses pointing to the same value.
Change both to 9999. Do not freeze them (don't click the active box). Freezing food can cause the game to glitch and think you have zero.
Unlike simple games, EotU stores values in 4-byte floats (decimals) or 4-byte integers (whole numbers). Here is what you can reliably change:
