Console Commands
All 235 commands the Subnautica developer console accepts, with their parameters and what each one does.
The developer console
The console is off until Shift is held while pressing Enter or the backquote key (`). After that, backquote opens and closes it, Enter opens it and Escape closes it. This has to be done again after every game start. Entering any command marks the save as having used the console, and achievements can no longer be unlocked in it. <required> parameters must be given, [optional] ones can be left out.
