From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is the hex file not saving with those editors, or is the game just not showing the new value once it's loaded?
Nono, i cannot input any values, that's the problem. Anyhow, I tried ImHex and with it I am able to change values now... I don't know why
I don't know these programs. Some hex editors are weird about editing, I use bvi to edit and it works pretty good for me.
Yeah I tried ImHex and with it I am able to change values now... I don't know why
Cool if it works. Stick with what works for you
The file could be digitally signed. By editing you change the hash value that will be computed when the file is checked for integrity. Just a wild guess.

Maybe your other editor messed up the encoding?
I think you are right, I saw a different set of numbers in the left bar, but with ImHex the numbers were "correct"
I had similar frustrations with a game. It's very easy to make mistakes while you're a beginner in editing such files (I don't know if you are).
One advice is to make sure to keep the data the same length.
If that doesn't help, observe the file's structure a bit more. Maybe it uses a checksum somewhere for the data you want to edit, or it is just stored elsewhere and you were editing the wrong thing.
Make a save. Make the data to change (in the shortest time possible) and make a new save. Compare these for what have changed.
But also, what is your problem?
Does the value just don't change, or the save becomes corrupted?

Oh and one more thing!
Do you obtain this file from the file system, or do you need to extract it from some kind of a container file, and then implant back the modified version?
SnowRunner's asset files cannot be edited unless you unpack and repack them with winrar. Anything else (as far as I tried, windows tools at the time) and it won't work.
