Fun Examples

• Use "SPEED 10", "OXYGEN", "NODAMAGE", and "DAYNIGHTSPEED 0.001" to explore free of worry and very quickly.
• SAVE YOUR GAME FIRST! "SPAWN BOULDER" will spawn a giant boulder that breaks its way through the ocean floor. Depending on how it lands, the hole can be shallow or large. Follow it down! It disappears at ~10-20 meters away from the player.
• "BIOME ISLANDS" will teleport you to the latest above-water island in the game.

How to use

In the recent builds the console was made optional and is disabled by default. To activate it you need to press F3 and you'll see a checkbox ticked in the top left saying: "Disable Console". Press ESC to get a mouse cursor and uncheck the box to activate the console.

Pressing Enter brings up an input box to enter commands

Once the console is enabled, press Enter and type one of the commands above. It may be necessary to press one of the overlay keys (e.g. F3) before pressing Enter. Also, some of the commands, like the BIOME command, do not work when the player is inside the Seamoth.

Examples:

• Add a Knife to the player's inventory: ITEM KNIFE
• Add a Flashlight to the player's inventory: ITEM FLASHLIGHT
• Spawn two Stalkers: SPAWN STALKER 2
• Add five Titanium to the player's inventory: ITEM TITANIUM 5

List of spawnable creatures or items

Most known materials, vehicles and life forms are spawnable directly by their name.

Items and materials, like a Knife or Fins , can also be spawned inside the Inventory.
