How to Open the Console in Casualties: Unknown

1. The Toggle Hotkey: By default, press the backtick key (` or ~, located directly beneath the Escape key and above Tab) at any point during gameplay or in the main menu.
2. Alternative Keyboard Layouts: If using non-US keyboards (such as UK, German QWERTZ, or French AZERTY), the console key may map to the key directly to the left of 1.
3. In-Game Terminal Object: In Sandbox mode, interacting directly with the computer terminal desk inside your starting bunker opens the command line interface without requiring hotkey presses.
4. Closing the Console: Press Escape or press ` a second time to dismiss the command input overlay.

Item & Entity Spawning Commands

Spawning items or enemies requires understanding the position argument syntax. Position arguments can be:

• cursor: Spawns the target directly at your mouse reticle.
• player: Spawns the target at your character’s current coordinates.
• random: Spawns the target randomly within visible screen bounds.
• X Y: Spawns the target at explicit world coordinates (e.g., 120 450).

1. Spawning Individual Items & Tools

Syntax:

spawn [item_id] [position] [condition_float] [amount_int]

• Condition Parameter: Takes a float between 0.0 (broken/ruined) and 1.0 (pristine 100% condition).
• Examples:
  • spawn gunsaw cursor 1.0 1 — Spawns 1 pristine Gunsaw at your mouse cursor.
  • spawn titanium_ingot player 1.0 10 — Drops 10 Titanium Ingots at your feet.
  • spawn field_pack cursor 1.0 1 — Drops a high-capacity backpack (see our Bags & Containers Guide).
  • spawn sterile_bandage player 1.0 5 — Spawns 5 medical bandages.

2. Spawning Item Categories

Syntax:

spawncategory [category_name] [position]

Spawns an assortment of items belonging to an entire equipment class.

• Valid Category Keys: medical, tools, weapons, containers, food, raw_materials.
• Example: spawncategory medical cursor drops a spread of tourniquets, splints, suture needles, and antiseptic salves.

3. Spawning Hostile Cave Predators & Bosses

Syntax:

spawnenemy [enemy_id] [position]

Liquid & Environmental Manipulation Commands

Casualties: Unknown simulates real-time fluid dynamics and cavern gas distribution. Use these commands to manipulate room states:

• addliquid [liquid_id] [amount_float]
  • Spawns a volume of liquid at your character’s location.
  • Liquid IDs: water, dirty_water, acid, oil, fuel, blood.
  • Example: addliquid water 5.0 pours 5 liters of clean water into the current pool.
• floodfill [position] [byte_liquid_type]
  • Fills an entire enclosed cavern pocket with the selected fluid.
• cleargas
  • Instantly purges all airborne spore clouds and caustic toxins from the active loaded chamber.

Verifying In-Game Item IDs

To discover the exact programmatic ID of any item in your version of the game without guessing:

1. Open the console with `.
2. Type dumpids items and press Enter.
3. The console will export a formatted list of all registered weapon, medical, and container identifiers directly into your game log directory (/logs/registered_ids.txt).
4. Type dumpids enemies to view all creature IDs.

Console Best Practices & Troubleshooting

• Typo Sensitivity: Command names and entity IDs are case-sensitive. Always use lowercase letters (spawn gunsaw cursor, not spawn Gunsaw Cursor).
• Achievement Notice: Using developer cheat commands such as god, noclip, or heal during standard campaign runs flags the current session as modified, which may disable specific progression milestones.
• Performance Spawning: Avoid setting the quantity parameter above 50 in a single spawn command to prevent physics engine hitches.
