There are many different types of cheats that can be used in Subnautica

Here is an overview of them all:

Disable safety (Supply items instantly, no hunger/thirst) This command will make your oxygen tank now act like an infinite tank, so you can breathe underwater without worry. This command will allow you to place items, which are normally not allowed on Survival mode, in your inventory. This makes all items readily available for crafting purposes. Some items requires the use of various tools to be obtained or crafted. For example, you cannot mine metal outcrops with your bare hands. This command will allow you to obtain tools without having to craft them.

By default, the player must visit the crash site or seaglide to obtain new blueprints for use in their Fabricator. This command will unlock all blueprints by default so they are immediately available. This command works similar to the Inventory Debug Upgrades, but with some differences. While it still shows the items in your inventory, it does not show “Recipes” nor “Known”.

Tips for using the console effectively in Subnautica

Subnautica is not a linear game, so trying to complete it by yourself can be very difficult. This is where the console comes in handy. It allows you to spawn items and vehicles at your convenience without having to play for hours on end finding those items. Keep in mind that spawning an item with this method will make it appear in your inventory. However, once you respawn or load a saved game, all spawned items will be removed from your inventory and world.

The types of commands you can use in Subnautica’s console

It is worth mentioning that you cannot spawn items or vehicles that may not exist in the world. If there is no seaglide and you try to spawn it, the game will tell you that it does not recognize this object even though it is a valid command. Spawning objects like these will cause them to appear on the surface of the water. If you spawn the seaglide and use it to float towards land, it will disappear once you get near solid ground. This is because the game considers the seaglide as an aquatic vehicle and cannot be used on dry land.

These commands can also be useful for debugging purposes

Since this command opens up the console window and lets you enter anything you wish, it is a quick way to test cheats.
