Subnautica - Console Command Cheats

PC Gaming
,
1

Subnautica is one of my favourite games of all time.
@MrAntiFun has provided a brilliant trainer for this game, which can be found here and is highly recommended: Subnautica Cheats and Trainer for Steam.

However, there are also developer console commands built-into the game, which can also be used for cheating. I highly recommend that you use both the trainer here on WeMod and the developer console commands, to achieve absolute cheat perfection.

(Do note that using console commands will disable achievements during that gameplay session, if you care about those. To re-enable achievements, the game needs to be reloaded without the console being opened).

Activating the developer console

You can do this in-game or on the loading screen when the game save is roughly 50% loaded.

  1. Press F3
  2. You’ll see a checkbox on the top left of the screen which says “Disable Console”
  3. Press F8 to unlock the mouse cursor
  4. Uncheck the Disable Console box to enable the console.
  5. Press F3 to close this menu

Activate_console

With the console now enabled, you can enter some commands. The console needs to be unlocked each time you start the game.

Entering commands

  • Depending on your keyboard, you will need to press either Enter, ~, Ø or Ö to bring up the command input line.
  • Press enter to confirm a command.
  • The arrow keys will cycle through previously used commands.

Console commands for cheating

Type these commands into the console for the desired effect.

Player Commands

  • invisible - God mode (infinite player health and infinite vehicle health). Player will also become invisible to enemies. However, vehicles will not be invisible (but will be invulnerable).

  • fasthatch - Eggs deposited in an aquarium or alien containment facility will hatch quicker.
  • filterfast - Water Filtration Machines create filtered water much quicker.
  • daynightspeed [#] - Set the day/night cycle speed. The default value is 1. A value of 2 makes the cycle twice as fast. A value of 0.1 makes the cycle 10x slower.
  • speed [#] - Sets the speed of the game. The default value is 1. A value of 2 makes the cycle twice as fast. A value of 0.1 makes the cycle 10x slower.

Building & Crafting Commands

  • fastbuild - Player will build almost instantly (best used with the NoCost command too).
  • nocost - Building and crafting do not deduct materials.
  • noenergy - Tools, vehicles and bases do not require power (you might need to attach a power source to a base still for this to work on bases, even if it’s just one solar panel).

  • warp [x] [y] [z] - Teleports the player to the specified coordinates. For example: “warp 5 10 5”.
  • warpforward [#] - Teleports the player forwards the specified amount of metres. Be careful that you don’t get stuck in unrendered terrain, especially when in a vehicle.
  • warpme - Teleports the player to either a Seabase, Cyclops or LifePod 5, whichever was visited last. Useful for when you get stuck inside terrain.
  • spawnnearby - Respawns the player nearby, also useful for when stuck in terrain.

  • night - Makes it night-time.

  • debugsound - Toggles sound.
  • entreset - Reloads all game assets except terrain.
  • gamereset - Resets the game back to the last save point. Caution: Empties the player’s inventory.
  • farplane [#] - Set player’s view distance. 1000 is the default.
  • fog - Toggles fog on and off. Players with lower-spec computers may benefit from turning fog off.
  • freecam - A free-flying camera mode that allows you to fly around the map.

Game-Breaking Commands.

(It is not recommended that you use these as they may ruin the game).

  • unlockdoors - Unlocks all the Aurora and Alien Base doors. Might cause quest issues, aside from destroying the immersion.
  • dig [#] - Removes terrain in a specified sphere around the player to a maximum value of 100. Not recommended because it can cause severe lag for players and pathfinding issues for NPCs. Some players who have reported using this command to build a base have said the terrain eventually grew back, making their base inaccessible.
  • goto [NAME] - Teleports the player to a specific named game location. However, this causes some game assets to not load, which can break some things and cause other things to become unobtainable, possibly preventing quest progression. For example “goto wreck1”.

Using these console commands alongside the MrAntiFun trainer from WeMod will literally make you the god/goddess of Planet 4546B. Have fun! :smiley:
