This article is about Console Commands in Subnautica. Click here for information on this subject in Below Zero.
Console Commands are a group of tools that adjust the player's experience outside the normal scope of Subnautica. These commands can be used for debugging purposes, to view partially-implemented content, or simply for player enjoyment.
Using these commands will disable all achievements and potentially impair the in-game experience! Make sure to save the game before using them!
With the recent Living Large Update, the input to access the dev console has changed.
To enable console commands, press the Shift key and Enter or `, (both buttons must be held at the same time) this should open the input box.
To send a command, enter your desired command in the input box, and press enter. Use the up key on your keyboard to scroll through your previously entered commands.
