A hacked version would be almost impossible.
It's not a simple numerical change; it'd require finding where in that mess of binary code the instructions for instaforming are and removing them, and replacing them with something that won't just crash.

And patches seem highly unlikely to happen.

Aside from that... yeah, it'd be pretty good.

May be possible without source. We are dealing with likely an 'if CA then Instaform' block of code in a few places (both client and server). A testbed can be used to focus on such code. We know the order of events. Butcher the 'if CA' part to become 'if impossible' and instaforming may be gone.

Similarly, it might be possible to hack down the advantage JOAT gets on planet size from 20% to 10%.

A programmer with the right skills and a good debugger might do the trick.

Speaking as a programmer, I'm going to laugh in your face now.

You have no idea how hard that kind of debugging is if you HAVE the source.

Without... it's possible.
It's also possible to throw random ASCII and make a working program.

I'd rather try the infinite monkey approach than deliberate editing like that.
