The closest that comes to God Mode is creating a user.cfg file containing word UNDEAD (nothing more) in the main game directory. Note that while you will take damage (that will eventually drop to 0), you won't die.

It's also possible to achieve a similar state in-game by dying while climbing the ladder. The easiest method is to input the code (12451) to the maintenance shaft on MedSci (right after we exit Cryo Recovery B), cling to the ladder (do not climb down) and wait until the Maint Bot will hit us enough times, rendering us undead. Depending on what game version we use, we may or may not need to press crouch the moment we catch the last (killing) electric bolt ; also, basing on the version, we may be stuck in crouch mode after.

Note that using both methods can render the game unwinnable.

The user.cfg file can also contain other variables (if one wants more than one, they each need to be in separate lines):

gun_degrade_rate # (where # is from 0 to 1, where 0 means the guns don't break at all ; useful in newest GOG/Steam versions that SEEMED to fix some unbreakable weapons in the game)

no_spawn (less enemy spawns, tho the difference is not huge ; doesn't work at all in some version of the game and does not work for scripted spawns (traps, etc.))
