Starfield Console Commands: Your Guide to Bending the Game to Your Will
Okay, so you’re diving deep into the vast universe of Starfield, exploring planets, battling space pirates, and maybe, just maybe, you’ve hit a snag. Or perhaps you’re just curious about all the cool things you can do that the game doesn’t normally let you. That’s where console commands come in! Think of them as special codes that let you tweak the game in all sorts of ways. This guide will walk you through the exciting world of Starfield console commands, explaining what they are, how to use them, and some of the most popular and useful commands to try.
What Exactly Are Console Commands?
Console commands are basically cheat codes, but way more powerful. They are text-based instructions that you type into a special window in the game, called the console. These commands can do things like give you items, change your character’s abilities, teleport you around the map, and even alter the game world itself. They are a fantastic tool for fixing bugs, experimenting with the game mechanics, or just having a bit of fun and feeling powerful.
Now, it’s important to know that console commands are not meant to be a normal part of the game experience. They are usually only available on the PC version of Starfield. Using them might affect achievements, and sometimes they can even make the game a little wonky, so use them at your own risk! But for those who like to tinker, they provide a whole other level of play.
How to Open the Console
Before we start bending reality, you need to know how to access the command console. Here’s how:
On PC: During the game, press the tilde key (~). It’s usually located just under the Esc key and to the left of the number 1 key on your keyboard. If that does not work, try the grave accent key (), which is on the same key as the tilde on some keyboards. A little text input field will pop up at the bottom of your screen. This is where you will type your commands.
Once you have the console open, you’re ready to begin experimenting. Remember, the console accepts text, so you will type your commands and press enter.
Important Things to Know Before Using Commands
Before you go crazy using console commands, there are a few things you should know:
Save Often: It is a very good idea to save your game before using console commands. If something goes wrong, like your game crashes, you can go back to that save.
Case Sensitivity: Console commands in Starfield are not case-sensitive. You can write them in capital letters, lowercase letters or a mix of both. player.additem is the same as PLAYER.ADDITEM
Targeting Objects: Some commands need to know what you’re talking about. You may have to select an object with your cursor in the game world, before typing a command. For example, if you want to change the size of an object, you will need to click on it, and a reference ID number for it will appear in the center of your screen.
Cheats and Achievements: Using some console commands might stop you from getting certain achievements in the game. Keep that in mind if you want to earn all the trophies. You may need to load a previous save.
Command Arguments: Many commands have extra parts called arguments. These help the command know exactly what to do. For example, player.additem 0000000F 10 means “add 10 credits to my character,” where 0000000F is the code for credits and 10 is the amount.
Reference ID’s: Many commands use item ID codes. You can find lists of these online, so you know what to type.
Let’s start with some basic and very useful commands. These are the commands you will probably find yourself using a lot!
Player Manipulation Commands
These commands let you change things about your character.
tgm: This command is for “god mode.” Your character is now basically invincible, and you have unlimited ammo. A great command if you just want to run around and explore without any trouble. If you want to turn off this mode again type “tgm” in the console.
tcl: This command enables no clipping. It lets you walk through walls and objects. Perfect for exploring areas you are not supposed to reach, or if you are stuck in the game. Type tcl again to turn it off.
player.additem : This is an important command. This will add an item to your inventory. You will need the item’s ID which is a string of numbers and letters, and the number you want. For example, to get 100 Med Packs you would type: player.additem 002297E8 100
002297E8 is the ID for the med pack
100 is the amount
player.setlevel : This command changes your character’s level. Just replace with the number you want your new level to be. Remember that leveling up too high may make the game too easy. Be careful what you wish for.
player.modav carryweight : This command changes the maximum weight your character can carry. player.modav carryweight 1000 means you can carry 1000 additional pounds.
player.setav speedmult : Sets your walking speed. player.setav speedmult 2 makes you walk twice as fast.
player.removeperk : Removes a specific perk you have. Requires the perk ID.
player.addperk : Grants you a specific perk. Requires the perk ID.

Game Manipulation Commands
These commands change the game itself.
caqs: This command completes the main quest. Use it with extreme caution because this will skip a lot of the game!
set timescale to : This command controls how fast time moves. A lower number makes time move slower, while a higher number makes time move faster. The default value is 20. set timescale to 1 makes time move very slowly, and set timescale to 100 makes time move quickly.
