Satisfactory Console Commands

Satisfactory Console Commands – Introduction

In the complex world of Satisfactory, where efficiency and optimization are fundamental, knowing how to access the command console can be an invaluable tool for players. Learning to use commands can not only help you solve problems and optimize your gaming experience, but also provides the freedom to experiment according to their needs and desires. Changing parameters such as brightness or the amount of fog that you want to have in your game. Start your advancement to the system on your own Satisfactory server.

Accessing the Command Console in Satisfactory

Start a new game or load a saved game in which you want to use the command console.
Once the game is loaded, press the tilde key (~) on your keyboard. Typically, this key is located above the Tab key and below the Escape key (Esc).
Pressing the tilde key should bring up a console window at the top of the screen. This is where you can enter different commands to perform various actions in the game.

Changing the Command Console Keybind

If your keyboard does not have the tilde (~) key, you can change the key to access the console as follows:

Press the Windows + R keys together to open the Run prompt.
In the text box, copy and paste the following:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Afterward, click OK and locate the Input.ini file in the newly opened window.
Open this with Notepad or another similar program.
Continue to paste ConsoleKey=F6 under [/script/engine.inputsettings].
Note: If you don’t see the “inputsettings” line, then create it and proceed accordingly.
Save these changes and launch Satisfactory to try the new keybind (F6) for the console.

Remember that you can place the key that suits you best instead of F6, always avoiding combinations like ctrl, shift, alt, or any key that already has a use within the game.

Commands

Here’s a list of commands you can use once you’ve accessed the console, including some that appear in autocomplete – but don’t actually work or cause problems. These commands are divided into two types: Non-Debug and Debug. It’s important to make this distinction because Debug commands often cause issues with the game’s functionality, so if you decide to use them, we recommend saving your game beforehand.

Non-Debug Commands

These commands primarily focus on graphical and lighting aspects.

ToggleDebugOverlay [0/1] Displays a window with various debug info SaveWithNewSessionName [name] Saves the current session under a new session name, separating it in the “Load Game” menu.N/A

Command	Description	Default
?(without pressing enter)	Shows a complete list of all commands, some with brief explanations. There are 2296 commands in total as of Patch 0.3.3.5, though not all of them are available as a public user. Green commands: Executable as a public user, alteration possible Purple commands: Executable as administrator (possibly accessible by commands like “Admin” and/or “AdminLogin”), but some have been made accessible for public users, could be host in a multiplayer game Grey commands: Only readable	N/A
materialFlowAnalysis recipeName[FString]	This command can be used to find the items required per second for all craftable items in the game. To use the command, type “materialFlowAnalysis” (not case sensitive) and then type in the item name you wish to find out about (this is case sensitive). The ‘name’ of the item, or ‘FString’, shall follow the exact string as indicated in the individual item’s Blueprint Path, which can be found in the infobox of each item on its respective page.	N/A
Gamma [number]	Changes the gamma (brightness) level.	2.2
Pause	Pauses the game, enter the command again to continue playing.	N/A
r.Atmosphere [0/1]	Activates/deactivates the atmosphere.	1
r.Fog [0/1]	Activates/deactivates the fog.	1
r.ViewDistanceScale	Sets the render distance of things like trees/foliage/rocks. Value is multiplicative*	1
foliage.LODDistanceScale	Controls how are higher quality LOD models being shown further out. It primarily affects foliage and buildings and can have a major impact on performance, but can make the game look better. Set this to higher values to increase the distance (recommended high is 5).	1
r.Shadow.DistanceScale	Sets the render distance of shadows cast by objects. Value is multiplicative*	1
r.ScreenPercentage [percent]	Sets internal resolution scale. It can be used together with r.TemporalAA.Upsampling set to 1 to get a “fake” full resolution image achieved with temporal anti-aliasing (TAA). This can improve performance a lot.	100
r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight [number]	Range 0-1. Sets the impact of the current internal frame on the final image. Set this to a low value e.g. 0.05 for better anti-aliasing or better upsampling at the cost of more artifacts (especially smearing) in motion. Also, increase r.TemporalAASamples to something larger like 16 when using low values.	0.2
r.TemporalAAFilterSize	Sets the spread of the TAA samples. Use values below 1 like 0.25 to sharpen the image (only works if r.TemporalAASamples > 6).	1
r.TemporalAASamples [number]	Sets the number of samples to use for TAA. Set this to 2 – 5 to reduce jitter.	8
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen [number]	Sets the amount of a simple sharpen filter.	0
r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale [number]	Controls the level of detail (LOD) for static meshes. Set this to 0 to improve graphics but possibly decrease performance, or higher than 1 to make it significantly worse.	1
r.LandscapeLODBias [number]	Fixes terrain geometry in the far distance. Set this to -2 or -3 to improve graphics but possibly decrease performance.	0
Grass.densityscale [number]	Sets the grass density. 0 disables it entirely, values between 0 and 1 reduce it, and values over 1 increase it.	1
pool.light.count [number]	Sets the amount of lights to render.	?
pool.light.lightshaft.count [number]	Sets the amount of light shafts to render.	?
Stat FPS	Activates Unreal Engine 4’s built-in FPS counter, all command fields are non-case-sensitive. The FPS counter will work in all environments, even on loading screens or the main menu.	N/A
Stat Levels	From the description: “Displays level streaming info”.	N/A
Stat Unit	Activating it shows a small readout of various statistics including Frame time (1000/Frame time = FPS), Game time (1000/Game time = UPS), Draw time (unknown), GPU time (unknown), RHIT time (unknown) and whether or not DynRes is supported (use unknown).	N/A
Suicide	Has the same effect as using the Respawn option from the Esc in-game menu.	N/A
t.MaxFPS [number]	Sets the maximum framerate to any value, other than the options in video settings. 0 makes the framerate unlimited.	0
FOV [number]	Sets field of view to the entered value, however, values over 150 can become unstable and glitches will occur. The FOV can be changed by a slider in the game’s option, but this console command allows to set it to any value beyond the slider.	N/A

Debug Commands

Remember that using these commands is unstable and may either perform no action or cause issues with the game’s functionality. Activating any of these commands will display the following information in the top left corner (unless otherwise indicated):

Player Name
World Coordinates (X, Y, Z)
Rotation
Instigator
Owner
Base Eye Height

To activate them, you’ll need to input the following line and change the text found between < >:
