Satisfactory has some commands available for use on servers and in local games. These commands can be entered through the in-game command line by administrators. However, the developer console occasionally fails to appear when pressing the default tilde hotkey. A common solution is to change the assigned key for opening the console to a new one, which restores its intended functionality.
Requirement: Admin access is required to use commands in-game.
1. Launch Satisfactory.
2. Press the Tilde key (~) to open the console.
3. The console cycles through three stages:
- Stage 0: No Console (Default)
- Stage 1: Opens a small window at the bottom of the screen.
- Stage 2: Expands to a large window with a command line and logs available.
