Sons of the Forest console commands and cheats list
Turn the island into whatever you want it to be.
Update: When Sons of the Forest first launched, you were not able to access console commands. A few updates later, however, and you can! We've updated this page with how to use console commands, as well as some useful ones to try out in-game.
Sons of the Forest launched into Steam’s Early Access, boasting over two million sales in just 24 hours. It’s got a long way to go before it lives up to just how great The Forest is, but nevertheless, it’s good, cannibal-infused fun (as horrendous as that sounds).
In The Forest, with the use of console commands, you can turn the island into whatever you want it to be. Run at super speeds, spawn in useful items, or even have the trees you've spent so long cutting down regrow. However, here’s the situation with console commands in Sons of the Forest.
How to use console commands in Sons of the Forest
To play Sons of the Forest using console commands and cheats, you'll want to enter a game, type in 'cheatstick' from where you stand, then open the debug menu using 'F1' while in-game.
This opens up the debug console, where you can then type in any console command you wish. To close the debug menu, simply press 'F1' again. Voila! Using console commands is as simple as that, but navigating the list of console commands and finding which ones are useful to you can be quite the task.
With that in mind, here's a list of some of the most useful console commands to use in Sons of the Forest.
