50 -Creative Custom Gamestarts do not require the player to load an existing save and players can experiment from the outset. Creative custom game starts permit the creation of a game start in the exact same way as a budgeted one but without any of the budgetary restrictions (although the player still has a 10,000,000Cr limit). The player also has full control over which plots and research items are completed even if they have not been completed in an un-modified game. Additionally, the player can adjust their faction relations with otherwise locked factions like the [[doc:Xenon]], [[doc:Kha'ak]] and [[doc:Scale Plate Pact]] (although this can often have unintended and undesirable consequences). Finally, players can choose whether or not they want highways enabled or disabled and can enable and disable local and ring highways separately.

952 -Relations points exclusively affect relations with factions and can only be used to manipulate how the player interacts with the amicable [[factions>>doc:Factions]]. The default relations in the editor is identical to the 'Young gun' starting scenario with most factions preset and a value of 0 with the exception of the [[doc:Free Families]], [[doc:Fallen Families]], [[doc:Terran Protectorate]], [[doc:Yaki]] and [[doc:Zyarth Patriarchy]] which are set at -5, -5, -15, -25 and -15 respectively.

954 954  Changing relations comes at a cost of 1 point per reputation level between 1 and 10 (raising negative reputation levels up to 0 currently incurs no cost). Between 11 and 20 inclusive raising reputation by 1 level costs 10 points. Between 21 and 26 inclusive costs 100 points per level, the jump between 26 and 27 costs 300 points and for every level over 27 it costs 200 points. The total cost of maximising a factions reputation is hence 1,610 points and is impossible to do.

1 +You can have more than 10,000,000 in the creative custom start, you just have to click on the number and type in a value.  Doing this and holding down the "9" key will max the cash at 1,000,000,000,000.  The light blue bar signifying how full it is will only be ~~3/4 of the way, but it can't be dragged any further for more than 1 trillion credits.  This is as of ToA 5.0 on April 20th, 2022.
