i completly spaced this time around, the userscrpit uselly adds it.

Treasure chest contents are double. There are 2 things, Shells, and those grey plus-sign tihings. Oncve you have 1E50 or so grey plus sign things, you can buy pearl things and shells. This does not refer to the red boxes you get on the bottom right, just the treasure chests

Anyone able to provide more information about how this works? I'm scanning for double values based on the last reward from treasure chests and I can find a value which appears to match, but changing it and locking the value doesn't appear to do anything. Have I found the wrong value or am I missing something?

I found where I was going wrong! There's two values for the doubloons - one that shows up before you click the chest, another that only appears when you actually click on it. I'd been finding the first value, rather than the second. Using the "Browse memory region" enabled me to find the second value, just a few lines down.

Many thanks!

Here's what you need to do:

1: Open up Cheat Engine 64-bit. Open up the game in a browser window on Chrome.  

2: While in game, press Shift+Escape.  Look at the Process ID for Tab: Play Squid Ink...  It should be a series of numbers.

3: Determine what that number is in hex by opening a new browser window and searching "[your process ID] in hex"  Google will pop it up for you right at the top.

4: In Cheat Engine, select the Chrome process that uses the hex ID found earlier.

5: Play Squid Ink normally until you see a treasure chest drop.  Click it.  If it contains dubloons (the silver plus sign circles) move to the next step.  If not, continue playing normally until you get one that does.

6: While the "The Chest Contained" window is still up, move to cheat engine.  Change your value type to Double, and begin your first scan for however many dubloons were in the chest.

7: Continue playing the game normally until another treasure chest with dubloons appears.  In Cheat Engine, adjust the value you're searching for to match the new amount of dubloons in the chest while the "The Chest Contained" window is still up.  You should now have a single address - add it to your address list, and change it to a large number.

8: Click in-game to accept the treasure chest, and you will now have a ton of dubloons to spend in the store to obtain as many shells and pearls as you can click.

I'm sure some of the early steps are remedial for you, but it's better to walk through everything when troubleshooting.  Good luck!

I've tried this in both edge and chrome even with a restart (erased save) i couldn't get it to work most of the time when i scan for the second chest's value i get 0 results 

Countdown timers for abilities are Float*1. 

Activate an ability. I scan for 25 when the timer gets to 25. Then rescan a few seconds later, like scan 20 when it's at 20. Then you can lock the value, giving you abilities that last until you turn off the game.

There have been some updates to the game. 

I followed dtbarnes86's instructions and was able to freeze my powerup cooldowns as little as 2 weeks ago, but can't seem to anymore. I have never been able to dupe shells or dubloons following anyone's instructions, but I haven't tried again since the update. 

New update items that haven't been covered here include: 

Lumens
Fish Eggs
Crustacean Eggs
Reptile Eggs
Metamorphic Eggs
Purple "Spin" Tickets (not sure if they have a name)
