Console

The console in Satisfactory is useful for changing some options not available in the game's settings, such as disabling the fog, anti-aliasing or enabling a FPS counter. It cannot be used for cheating (e.g. spawning items).

The effects of commands are reset once the game is closed to desktop, but persist between sessions (the only exception is the Suicide command, which will remain if the game is saved).

Activation
To enable the console, first press +  +. However, it will not show any feedback concerning whether or not you have successfully performed the action (note: it might not work on some keyboard layouts, see below). This enable process persist between different game sessions/ save or load. However, you have to re-enable it every time you restart the game.

To open the console, press the (paragraph) / (backtick) /  (tilde) key. This will open the console command line; press it again to open a larger window (one command requires a large window in order to be used properly).

It might be necessary to change the keyboard layout to English - UK, as the console can only be opened if the keyboard layout has at least one of the 3 activation keys (, and ).

Changing the activation key
Another solution that does not require switching the keyboard layout is to navigate to " ", open the file "input.ini" and add the following lines:

This will allow the console command line to be opened with F6. Any other key or character can be, as long as it doesn't require to use a modifying key such as, or , also avoid using any keys that the game already uses by default.

List of Commands
Commands that can be typed into the console can be found here. They are organized in the following format: commands that execute and are useful, commands that execute and are either questionably useful or have an unknown use and commands that do not execute. Every category is organized alphabetically. The "window" column is to differentiate between commands that require the large console window to be properly used and commands that do not require it. Since Satisfactory is written in Unreal Engine, many commands from the Unreal Engine itself appear in this list.

Non-functional commands
The following commands appear in the autocomplete list in the console, but either do not do anything when executed or are not even recognized by the console when executed.


 * Fly
 * Ghost
 * GiveItem
