Applying Console Commands – Here’s How

Attention: Mods always carry a certain risk of corrupting the game. Installing mods always carries the risk of destroying your save file, the entire game, or even something on your device. Therefore, installing them is at your own risk.

What needs to be done to use them? To currently use the console commands, you need to follow these steps:

  • Download the mod “UE4SS” from NexusMods
  • Locate the game installation folder
    • The easiest way to do this is to right-click the game in your library, select “Manage” and then “Browse Local Files”
  • Then extract the file into the following folder: Subnautica2Subnautica2BinariesWin64
  • Then download the mod “Console Commands” from NexusMods
  • Then extract the file into the following folder: Subnautica2Subnautica2BinariesWin64ue4ssMods

If everything worked, you should be able to use the corresponding console in the game after starting it.

How to use the console? Just press the F2 key in the game. This should open a window that shows you various command options and also allows you to enter some manually. Here you can then select what you want or enter one from the list above and use it.
