Console Commands

Console Commands are a developer tool generally designed for debugging purposes. In previous Subnautica games, console commands have been made available to the player. As of the first release of Subnautica 2, while console commands do exist within the game files, they are currently only accessible through the use of Mods.

Some commands such as fly and warp are disabled in the base game, creating a warning when used. In the Experimental Branch, these commands work normally.

Warning: Use of commands can cause damage to save files and should be used with caution.
