Console Commands

Console Commands are a group of tools that adjust the player's Subnautica experience outside the normal scope of the game. These commands can be used for debugging purposes, viewing partially implemented content, or simply for player enjoyment.

How to use
The console is an optional feature and is disabled by default. To activate it you need to press and you'll see a checkbox ticked in the top left saying: "Disable Console". Press to get a mouse cursor and uncheck the box to activate the console. To use the "F" keys on Mac press and the "F" key of choice.

Once the console is enabled, press, , or , depending on the keyboard, and type one of the commands below. Whenever you restart the game, you need to press one of the overlay keys first (e.g. ) 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 overlay).

Also, some of the commands, e.g. the  command, do not work when the player is inside the Seamoth or Prawn Suit. They will, however, work when piloting a cyclops.
