I am using Ghex and Bless and both of them display the value of my gold but I cannot edit it. I am missing something?

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?

Cannot input any value. I tried ImHex and with it I am able to change values now... I don't know why

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.

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.
