How to use
The console is an optional feature 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 F8 to get a mouse cursor and uncheck the box to activate the console.

Once the console is enabled, press "Enter"/"~"/"Ø" / "Ö", depending on the keyboard, and type one of the commands above. Whenever you restart the game, you need to press one of the overlay keys first (e.g. F3) before pressing the console key

It is recommended to close all overlays before typing a command, as entering a number does change the game settings on some overlays (e.g. on the F3 overlay).

Also, some of the commands, like the BIOME command, do not work when the player is inside the Seamoth.

Examples:
 * Add a Survival 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

Input box use

 * Pressing "Enter"/"~"/"Ø" or "Ö" brings up an input box. This depends on country and keyboard layout.
 * And press "Arrow Up" / "Arrows Down"
 * This shows the previously entered commands.
 * Click "Enter" to select chosen command.
