How to use console commands in Starfield

The Starfield console can be opened by pressing the tilde key (~) on your PC keyboard. From there, you can input all sorts of commands. Be forewarned, however, that most commands will prevent you from earning achievements. Moreover, your saves will have an "[M}" symbol, indicating that values have been changed in some way.

　　Lastly, PC players can check: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Starfield for the StarfieldConsoleHistory.log file. This tracks all console commands that you've used, even if you revert to a clean save. As such, to avoid any issues, you can download an achievement enabler mod. If you want, there's the Achievement Enabler made by user Brunph that's available via Nexus Mods.

　　

Using the help command

As an aside, the most useful Starfield console command is the help function: help <term/mechanic/item name> 4. For instance, if you're looking for a particular NPC or perk ID, you can simply type "help Sarah 4" or "help Piloting 4" to see a list of related IDs. From there, you can input the type of function that modifies that value.

　　

Player effects and items

God mode: Tgm - Makes your character invulnerable to all damage, though you still consume oxygen; infinite ammo and infinite jetpack boost.Experience points: Player.modav experience <value> - The number that you input here will be the amount of XP added to your current value. For instance, if you have 100 XP and you type player.modav experience 1000, you'll have 1,100 XP. This includes all level ups and skill points that you'd have earned normally.Adding items: Player.additem <ID> <value> - Use the help command to search for the item ID. This includes weapons, armors, ammo types, and more.Digipicks: Player.additem 0000000A <value> - The value represents the number of digipicks that get added to your inventory.Money: Player.additem 0000000F <value> - The value represents the number of credits that you gain.You'll want to type a word related to an item so you can search for it via the help function. From there, you can use other commands, such as player.additem.

Companion affinity

There are a few Starfield console commands that affect recruitable companions, but the ones you'll want to take note of concern their affinity. Generally speaking, companions have offer new unique conversations at certain affinity thresholds (i.e. 100, 200, 300, and so on). You'll want to do the following:

　　When a companion is in front of you, open the console with the tilde key (~).Click on a companion to see their reference ID.Check the value: With the companion's reference ID visible, type getav com_affinity to see the affinity value.Set the value: Type setav com_affinity <value> to change the amount of affinity that a companion has.You'll want to set this just one point shy of the next threshold. For instance, the first unique conversation happens at 100 affinity, which means you'll want to use: setav com_affinity 99.You can then do a type of action that they like, or just explore a bit, until the next conversation triggers.Take note a companion's affinity value before changing it.
