Satisfactory: Comprehensive Console Commands Guide
The console in Satisfactory is a powerful tool for players and server admins alike. It allows you to bypass the standard options menu to tune performance, adjust visual fidelity, and troubleshoot complex factory layouts using real-time debug data. Since Satisfactory is built on **Unreal Engine**, many standard UE commands also work here.
1. Enabling the Console
Press the ~ (Tilde) or ` (Backtick) key. On some keyboard layouts, you may need to press it twice or use Ctrl + Shift + L first to unlock the console input.
2. Performance Tuning
Use commands starting with r. to modify the rendering pipeline. This is essential for maintaining high FPS in late-game mega-factories.
3. Character Recovery
If you find yourself clipped through a foundation or stuck in a cave, the Suicide command is your fastest way back to the nearest Hub or Respawn point.
Performance & Visual Commands
| Command | Effect | Default / Range |
|---|---|---|
| Stat FPS | Toggles the frame rate and frame time counter. | N/A |
| Stat Unit | Shows CPU/GPU bottlenecks (Frame, Game, Draw, GPU). | N/A |
| t.MaxFPS [Value] | Caps the frame rate. Use 0 for uncapped. | 0 - 999 |
| r.Fog [0/1] | Disables world fog to improve clarity and FPS. | 1 |
| r.ViewDistanceScale [Value] | Sets how far objects/foliage are rendered. | 1.0+ |
| r.ShadowQuality [0-5] | Adjusts shadows. Setting to 0 can double FPS. | 3 |
| r.ScreenPercentage [Value] | Internal resolution scale. Lower for massive gains. | 100 |
Utility & Gameplay Commands
- FOV [Value]: Sets your Field of View. Useful for wide-screen monitors or reducing motion sickness.
- Gamma [Value]: Adjusts the global brightness level. Ideal for exploring dark caves without a flashlight.
- Suicide: Instantly kills your character. You will drop a crate at your location (if items are enabled).
- ToggleDebugOverlay: Displays internal game state info, helpful for identifying mod conflicts.
- r.Atmosphere [0/1]: Toggles skybox effects and atmospheric scattering.
Note: Some commands are restricted on Dedicated Servers. While visual and HUD commands work for every player, world-altering commands may require you to be authenticated as an Admin through the Server Manager first.
Optimize your factory with total control. Host your Satisfactory server with Supercraft and enjoy high-performance hardware that minimizes the need for console tweaks, even as your industrial empire reaches Tier 9.
