Console Commands Subsistence Repack May 2026

Console commands in a repack are completely offline—you cannot affect other players. However, using them excessively can corrupt your save because the repack may not validate item stacks correctly.

Always backup your save folder:

If your repack crashes after heavy command use, delete the SaveGames folder and let the repack regenerate it.

The most valuable command is GiveItem, but it requires numeric IDs. Since repacks vary, the official Steam ID list may not match perfectly.

Method 1 – The ingame dump (fastest for repacks):

In the console, type: DumpInventoryIDs

A file named ItemIDs.txt will appear in your Subsistence\Saved\Logs\ folder. Open it to see the exact ID mapping for your specific repack.

Method 2 – Common IDs (work on 90% of repacks):

| Item | ID | | :--- | :--- | | Wood Log | 1 | | Stone | 2 | | Fiber | 3 | | Metal Scrap | 4 | | Circuit Board | 27 | | Rifle Ammo | 58 | | First Aid Kit | 12 | | Gasoline | 34 | | Steel Ingot | 19 | | C4 Explosive | 44 |

Pro tip: Most repacks treat item IDs as sequential. If Wood is 1 and Stone is 2, then advanced items will be between 100-300. Use DumpInventoryIDs to get the exact list.

In Game.ini, add:

[/Script/Engine.PlayerController]
bCheatEnabled=True

Without this, some commands won’t work.

Let's be honest with each other.

Subsistence is a passion project made by a single developer. The game is difficult by design—the grind, the fear of losing your base, the panic when hunters raid you at night. That struggle is the gameplay loop.

When you use console commands in a repack, you aren't just cheating an AI; you are circumventing the need to ever buy the game. Many repack users justify it as "testing before buying." If that's you, great. Use this guide for one weekend, then buy the game on Steam.

However, if you permanently play a repack with unlimited resources and god mode, you will rob yourself of the very tension that makes Subsistence special. The game becomes a hollow sandbox—no different than placing LEGO bricks without instructions. console commands subsistence repack

A compromise: Use console commands only to skip the early-game grind but keep combat and hunting enabled. For example:

This gives you a head start while preserving the survival soul of the game.

Once the console is open, you can type commands. Unlike the Steam version, repacks rarely require the admin prefix. Here is the master list, categorized for clarity.

Unlike the Steam version where the console might be enabled by default or via launch options, Repack versions often require a configuration file edit.
