Console commands

Version

This article may contain outdated information that is inaccurate for the current version of the game. It was last updated for 1.4.

If you want to contribute to this page, which is a work in progress, in the console type "help" to see the list of commands, then to see a description and parameter of a command, type "help [command-name]", and put the corresponding details into the list.

This page deals with commands used in the console. For the modding term, see commands.

This page lists the codes which may be input into the Console Window, a special debugging window which may be accessed on non-ironman games by pressing Shift+2, ALT+2+1, Shift+3,§, ~, ^, °, ², or ` (key varies based on keyboard layout). Press the up or down arrow keys to traverse through previously executed commands. Many codes can be turned off by repeating the command, but sometimes reloading the save or exiting the game is necessary.

List of Commands

Text within <> means you need to do the action for the command to work properly. For example <Select Planet> means a planet needs to be selected ingame before you execute the console command.

If you need to know something's ID, you can see it in its tooltip by using the command tweakergui debugtooltip(pre 1.1) or debugtooltip(1.1).Species IDs can be located in the species info tab.
