Other Console Commands

To access the cheat console, simply press the F1 key on your keyboard. In the text box that appears, type hi or hello to activate it.

Always test new commands in a fresh save file to avoid accidentally corrupting a long-running game.
If a command doesn’t seem to work, it might require a specific value. For example, a command shown as money might actually need a value like money 10000 to grant you resources.
When you see a slash in a command list, it means “OR.” For instance, a command listed as close/bye means you can use either close or bye. Do not type the slash itself.
