Abiotic Factor Console Commands & Admin (2026)
Last verified: July 19, 2026, against the current Abiotic Factor build and the community dedicated-server documentation.
The short, honest answer: vanilla Abiotic Factor has no console commands. There is no tilde console in the base game, and no text commands to memorise. Admin moderation runs through a GUI (ESC → Player Management → Admin tab), and admin access is granted through Admin.ini or an -AdminPassword launch parameter. Every "god mode / spawn item" command list you have seen for this game comes from a community mod (UE4SS "Cheat Console Commands") - details and the real list below, so you know exactly what is vanilla and what is not.
What vanilla admin can actually do
Once you have admin on a dedicated server, open ESC → Player Management → Admin. The vanilla toolset is deliberately small:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Kick | Removes a player from the session; they can rejoin unless banned |
| Ban | Blocks the player's account from the server permanently |
| Unban | Removes an entry from the Banned Players list |
| Force World Save | Triggers an immediate save - use it before restarts and risky experiments |
Difficulty, loot, enemy and day-length tuning is not an admin-menu function either - it lives in the server's sandbox settings, covered in the server configuration guide.
Add admins via Admin.ini (the correct format)
Edit (or create) this file in your server's save directory - on a managed server you can open it straight from the panel's file manager:
AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Admin.iniAdd one line per admin under the [Moderators] heading, using the 17-digit SteamID64:
[Moderators]
Moderator=76561198012345678
Moderator=76561198087654321
Note the format: each line is Moderator=<SteamID64>. (Several older guides - including an earlier version of this page - showed bare SteamID= lines; that format is not recognised.) Look up a SteamID64 from a profile URL with any SteamID converter, then:
- Stop the server.
- Edit
Admin.iniand save. - Start the server again - a full restart is required before the Admin tab appears for those players.
Or: the -AdminPassword launch parameter
Add this to the server's startup parameters (or the admin-password field in your host panel):
-AdminPassword=YourSecretPasswordAnyone who knows the password can authenticate as admin from inside the game, without being listed in Admin.ini. It is convenient for small friend-groups; for public servers prefer the Admin.ini allowlist - a password shared once is shared forever.
The console commands everyone searches for (UE4SS mod)
A real, working command console exists - as the community "Cheat Console Commands" mod on NexusMods, built on the UE4SS script loader. With it installed, the console opens with ~ (tilde) or F10 and provides commands including:
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
god | Invulnerability toggle |
heal | Restore health |
noclip | Fly through geometry |
invisible | Enemies ignore you |
infammo | Infinite ammunition |
freecraft | Craft without ingredients |
killall | Kill nearby hostiles |
spawnall | Spawn item sets |
settime / setweather | Change time of day / weather |
toplayer / tome | Teleport to a player / pull a player to you |
money | Grant currency |
playerlist | List connected players |
The caveats that matter before you install it on a server:
- It is a mod, not a supported feature. Game updates can break UE4SS until the loader is updated - expect a lag of days after each patch.
- Dedicated servers: per the mod's install notes, the mod goes on the server itself and cheat commands are entered in the server's own console window (it needs an extra launch argument to open one), not from connected clients - most commands are host-only by design.
- Back up your world save first (see the save & backup guide) - spawn and kill commands write irreversible world state.
Why the internet is confused about this
Search "abiotic factor console commands" and most results present the mod's command list as if it were built into the game, without mentioning the mod at all. The result is a steady stream of players pressing tilde on an unmodded server and concluding their server is broken. It is not - the console simply is not there until you add it. If a guide lists god or spawnall without the word "mod" anywhere, treat the rest of that guide with suspicion.
