Console commands
In-game commands for the development console (F3).
Many are debug tools, but several are genuinely useful for players.
This page has just been created and is lacking some in-depth details about the less common commands right now!

About the file command
The file command is a powerful, multi-purpose command for managing stations and saves. A station is a named save profile (e.g. "My Survival RunSaveGame") - all saves for that playthrough live inside saves/<stationname>/, organized into auto/, quick/, and manual/ subfolders plus a "head" save. Because file is registered as a launch command, it works both in-game and on the command line:
Server.exe -file start "MyMarsMess" Mars2 Normal
● file start
$ file start <stationname> [worldid] [difficulty] [startcondition] [startlocation]
The main way to load or create a game. If a station named
<stationname> already exists, loads its most recent save. If it does not exist, starts a fresh game on the given world. worldid is required when creating a new station (e.g. Lunar, Mars2, Eurpa3, Vulcan2, Mimas, Venus). difficulty defaults to Normal but can be set to Stationeer Creative and Easy.startcondition and startlocation are optional and fall back to world defaults when omitted.tags:launchhost / sp only
● file new
$ file new <stationname>
Creates a new empty station folder with the given name without starting a game. Usually you can skip this and go straight to
file start on a non-existing station.tags:host / sp only
● file save
Saves the current game into the "head" save slot of the active station. Equivalent to a normal in-game manual save.
tags:requires gamehost / sp only
● file saveas
$ file saveas <savename>
Creates a named manual save for the current station. Useful for checkpoints, e.g.
-file saveas BeforeBigProject.tags:requires gamehost / sp only
● file quicksave
Creates a quicksave for the current station (written into the
quick/ subfolder).tags:requires gamehost / sp only
● file load
$ file load <fullpath>
Loads a specific
.save file by its full absolute path. The path must be inside the official saves root and the file must have a .save extension. The station name is inferred from the folder structure. Example: -file load "C:\...\saves\My Station\manual\checkpoint.save"tags:host / sp only
● file loadlatest
$ file loadlatest <stationname> [auto/quick/manual]
Loads the most recent save for the given station. The optional second argument filters by save type — omit it to pick the newest save across all folders.
tags:host / sp only
● file list
Lists the full paths of all known save files across all stations.
tags:host / sp only
● file info
Prints the current save root directory path and the name of the currently loaded station. Useful for debugging save paths.

Recursively deletes an entire station folder and all saves inside it. The path must be inside the saves root. Extremely destructive — use with caution.
