Console Commands — Subsistence Repack
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.
Most persistent game rules are in config files, not console commands.

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.
Console commands in the Subsistence repack open the door to a literal god mode—infinite resources, invincibility, and total control over weather, time, and AI. You can transform a brutal survival simulator into a peaceful building simulator or a chaotic testing ground.
But remember: the tilde key (~) is a tool, not a toy. Used wisely, it can help you learn the game's mechanics without rage-quitting. Used carelessly, it will bore you within an hour.
