Echoes of Elysium Console Commands and Admin Cheats: A Server Owner's Guide

Echoes of Elysium Console Commands and Admin Cheats: A Server Owner's Guide

Echoes of Elysium is an Early Access game from Loric Games (published by Snail Games USA) that launched on Steam on January 27, 2026, and the studio has said it expects to stay in Early Access for roughly 12 to 16 months. That matters before you touch a single console command: the game is still changing, and any command list is a community-documented snapshot, not an official guaranteed reference. This guide covers how to open the console, the commands players have documented so far, why they are restricted to the host or admin, and how a dedicated server owner should think about using them on a shared crew world.

This is a server-admin companion to our admin permissions and access guide. If you have not decided who on your crew gets admin in the first place, start there.

A Word of Caution First

Two things to internalize before you enable anything:

• This is Early Access. Commands get added, renamed, or removed between patches. Treat every command below as "documented by the community at one point" and verify it works on your own server before you rely on it. If a command does nothing or throws an error after an update, that is expected behavior for an EA title.
• Cheats and console commands are not the same as third-party trainers. The in-game console is part of the game and host-gated. Third-party trainers and memory editors are a separate thing entirely, are intended for single-player offline use, and using them on a shared server typically causes desync or gets players removed. This guide is about the in-game console only.

Enabling the Console

The console is not on by default. The community-documented way to turn it on is through Steam launch options:

1. Right-click Echoes of Elysium in your Steam library and choose Properties.
2. In the Launch Options field, add -console -debug.
3. Launch the game and load into a world.
4. Press the tilde key (~) or F1 to open the console.

If the tilde key does not respond, players have reported binding it through the input config file in the game's local app data folder under the Loric Games directory. The exact path can shift between builds, so if your install does not match a guide you find, search your AppData and Saved/Config folders rather than assuming a fixed path.

Why Commands Are Host and Admin Only

This is the single most important fact for server owners. Console commands in Echoes of Elysium are server-side and restricted to the host or admin. A regular crew member who joins your dedicated server and opens their console will not be able to spawn items or toggle god mode. That is by design and it is good for you: it means a guest cannot quietly cheat themselves a stack of copper while your back is turned.

On a peer-hosted session the host holds command authority. On a dedicated server, command authority follows admin rights, which is why getting your admin setup correct matters. See the next section.

Dedicated Server Admin Setup

On a dedicated server, the host is a headless process, so admin authority is granted by listing Steam IDs rather than by whoever launched the game. The community-documented approach is an admin list file (commonly an Admins.json) inside the server's world folder under the Loric Games server directory. You add each admin's 17-digit Steam ID to that file, then restart the server so it picks up the change.

Two practical notes for owners:

• Use the numeric Steam ID, not the vanity name. The 17-digit SteamID64 is what the file expects. A profile URL nickname will not match.
• Edit while the server is stopped, then restart. Editing config files on a live server is how worlds get corrupted. Stop, edit, start. If you run on managed hosting, the panel exposes the admin list and a clean restart for you, which removes the file-permission and restart-order risk entirely.

For the full picture of who should hold admin versus a lighter moderator role, read the admin permissions and access guide.

The Community-Documented Command List

The following commands have been documented by the Echoes of Elysium community. Verify each on your own server, since EA builds change them without notice.

• god: toggle player invincibility.
• fly: enable free flight / noclip movement.
• repairship: fully repair your airship. Useful after a bug, not for skipping legitimate combat damage.
• infinitefuel [1/0]: toggle fuel consumption.
• give [ID]: spawn an item by its ID.
• settime: change the time of day.
• killall: clear nearby enemies.
• save: force an immediate world save.
• unstuck: nudge a stuck ship upward a few meters.
• ignoreweight: ignore physics weight limits.
• stat fps: show a frame-rate readout.
• togglehud: hide or show the interface, handy for screenshots.

The Commands Owners Actually Use

Most of that list is for messing around. The few that earn a place in a serious server owner's toolkit are:

• save before a risky experiment, a patch, or a roster change, so you have a known-good point. It pairs with a real backup routine rather than replacing it. See our saves, backups and restores guide.
• repairship and unstuck to recover from a bug that physically traps a crew's ship, which is the kind of thing that otherwise ends a campaign.
• stat fps to confirm whether a "the server feels laggy" complaint is the server or the client.

The spawn and god-mode commands are best reserved for testing a fresh build or rescuing a save, not for everyday play on a crew you want to keep invested.

Command Etiquette on a Crew Server

The reason this matters: a co-op crew's enjoyment comes from earned progress. Echoes of Elysium is built around the resource economy and the difficulty curve covered in our beginner first five hours guide. An admin who quietly spawns copper or flips on god mode removes the very thing the crew showed up for.

Reasonable house rules that keep a crew healthy:

• Announce before you use anything. If you have to repair a bugged ship, tell the crew it was a fix, not a freebie.
• Never spawn progression items. Copper, fuel, and gear are the gameplay loop. Skipping them is skipping the game.
• Keep god and fly for testing only. Use them on a private scratch world, not the campaign save.
• Log major admin actions so the crew trusts that the world they are building is genuinely theirs.

Run a Server Where Admin Tools Just Work

Console commands are far easier to manage when you are not also wrestling config files, Steam IDs, and restart order by hand. Supercraft Echoes of Elysium hosting gives you a clean admin list, one-click restarts so config edits apply safely, automatic backups so a bad command is never the end of your world, and the persistent crew setup that keeps your ship exactly where the captain left it. You get the admin power without the file-editing risk.
