Access Console and Commands
Q: How do i use Console Commands in Single Player (Survival/Creative)?- Just open the Console (see Options > Controls) and enter 'help'. This will show you all the commands that are currently available.
- Type in 'help' and add a command to reveal its syntax and values. Like 'help faction' will show you everything you need to know about the faction command
- Console commands only work on a multiplayer server if you are either Admin, Moderator, or Gamemaster!
Q: How to use Console Commands when playing on a (local) Dedicated Server (Creative/Survival)?You can't. The owner or an admin of the server needs to promote you to the Gamemaster permission group at least.
Delete Base
Q: How to destroy or delete a base from in-game (as admin)?Enter 'di' in the console and an overlay will be added on top of your screen. Go close to a base or a vessel and point at it. The overlay will tell you the ID of the Base/Vessel. Use the ID with the 'destroy' command.
Admin Setting
Q: How to make myself admin of my local Dedicated Server (self-hosted)?- Use TELNET (Microsoft Service included in Windows) and use the setrole command.
- Alternatively use the adminconfig.yaml example file available/explained here: http://bit.ly/EGSadminfile
Q: How to make myself admin of my rented Dedicated Server?Use telnet (via remote console) or talk to your hoster to update the adminconfig.yaml accordingly.
Promote to Permission Group
Q: How can I add players to a specific permission group?As soon as you are promoted to Admin status, you can EITHER use Telnet OR the in-game-console to achieve that. Use 'help setrole' to learn the syntax and the values you can use.
