Thank you to all the CH team !

Cores.

They are needed for advanced buildings.

See, sometimes, yes, it's cores.
But in other times, it points to something with an obnoxiously high number, 6xxxxxx+ is what I remember. So I don't know where that pointer leads sometimes

For now let's give the CH team time to work on what they are working on, until after the full release of the game.
Use this trainer as it is, as it mostly works.

did some extensive research on this, in story mode only, up to end of chapter 2, so here's the exact info of what and how is working and some tips and tricks:

- 'heatstamps' points to heatstamps
- 'food' points to food
- 'coal' points to materials
- 'materials' points to prefabs
- 'steam cores' points to coal
- 'goods' points to steam cores

no pointers to actual goods and oil (oil in story mode only shown and available in game from late in chapter 1 , after exploration -> first colony)
- if you want to go full oil, get industrial districts (in main town, New London, not in the colony) with coal liquefiers (as coal you can edit) 2-3 of them, you should be fine. (you might want those industrial districts to produce goods, since you cannot edit actual goods... trust me you'll need them)

for actual steam cores number under "goods", until you find them via exploration, in-game shows 0 and in editor is like Laumi reported, sometimes a very high random number. once you find them on the exploration map and you harvest them, they will show correct number in editor (but like above, show under "goods"

Tacking onto the above, oil will SOMETIMES be the heatstamps option when you select the dreadnaught. I've found this happens more often if you enter the dreadnaught via the world map rather than switching straight to it. If it didn't catch, exit out to the frostlands map and then back into the dreadnaught.

Second thing to note, you can increase your resources above your actual stockpile limit, so if you want 20 million oil the first time you get it working, you can do that.

yep, i confirm this, forgot to add these tips

also to move lots of oil from 20 million stockpile in dreadnaught colony to new london, you can use "transfer stockpile", provided you have the stockpile room in new london (build fuel hubs) (there is a "5k" button in the transfer window next to each resource)
OH, in case you choose "defeat the frost" (you'll understand when you get to it), DO NOT research and especially DO NOT build the last generator upgrade before you have the mission for it. it will break your save... i have to start again or search a save before i built it.
