Starfield Console Commands

Toggle god mode: no damage taken and ammo does not run out

Run it again to turn it off. The game's own help text calls it infinite health and stamina, and guides add unlimited ammo and no carry limit. Sources disagree on oxygen: GameSpot says it still drains, Game8 says it does not. StarfieldDB says ammo only stays unlimited while you hold at least one round. Use tim if you would rather keep taking damage.

Toggle immortal mode: you take damage but cannot die

Run it again to turn it off. Health drops and recovers as normal but never reaches zero. Game8 and Dexerto say the same holds for oxygen, while GamesRead says oxygen can still deplete. StarfieldDB suggests it for skill challenges that need you to take hits.

Set your maximum health

Replace <value> with the number you want, for example 10000. The change is saved with the game; the Fandom wiki says setav keeps the value while modav can reset after a reload. Run player.getav health first to note your starting value so you can set it back.

Set your maximum carry weight

PC Gamer and Inverse use 999999 as the top value. The Fandom wiki says very large numbers may show cut off in the inventory but still apply. GamesRadar, GamePressure and TweakTown also list player.modav carryweight <value>, which the wiki describes as a modifier that a restart or reload may reset. Gamer Guides prints player.setmodav carryweight, which no other source uses.

Set your movement speed multiplier

100 is normal speed and larger numbers are faster (PC Gamer, GamesRadar, Shacknews, StarfieldDB); set it back to 100 to undo it. Game8 says it has no effect while noclip (tcl) is on.

Toggle noclip: pass through walls and move freely

Run it again to turn collision back on. The game's help text says it also disables gravity, and PC Gamer says you can walk into the air. StarfieldDB suggests it for getting unstuck, HoldToReset notes you can fall through floors with it on, and Gamer Guides warns it can cause crashes and quest conflicts.

Toggle the free camera

Detaches the camera from your character so you can fly around the scene; run it again to return. Gamer Guides compares it to photo mode without the limits, Game8 pairs it with tm for screenshots, and StarfieldDB warns that flying far away can hurt PC performance.

Set the free camera speed

Use it after tfc. The game's help text lists it as the free-camera speed multiplier with an optional look multiplier. The Starfield Wiki's console page gives the short form sucsm, but that page is marked as unchecked for Starfield, so only the long name is published.

Toggle the HUD and menus

Hides every interface element; type tm again to bring it back. The game's help text says it exists for taking screenshots.

Change gravity in your current area

PC Gamer reports that 0 gives zero gravity. Scope is described two ways: the game's help text says it sets the gravity scale on the cell the selected object is in, while Shacknews says it changes the gravity of the planet you are on.

Change game speed (slow motion or fast forward)

Values between 0 and 1 slow the world down and values above 1 speed it up (the game's help text, PC Gamer, ClutchPoints). Use sgtm 1 to return to normal speed.

Reveal every location marker on the current planet

Adds map markers for all locations on the planet's surface. PC Gamer, GamesRadar, Gamer Guides and ClutchPoints report that it is permanent (tmm 0 does not remove the markers), and StarfieldDB says it has caused bugs, so make a backup first. The game's help text says 0 hides markers, which the guides contradict.

Teleport to your active quest target

You need an active quest in your journal (GamePressure). The game's help text calls the long form MoveToQuestTarget, and Gamer Guides warns it can interfere with quest progress. The Starfield Wiki's console page shows a quest ID after it, but that page is marked as unchecked for Starfield and the Starfield guides use the command with no argument.

Teleport to a named cell (center on cell)

CellID is the cell's editor ID text, not its display name. Find one with help <place name> 4 (TweakTown) or in Game8's location ID table. Developer test cells such as coc qasmoke are hard to leave (HoldToReset, Game8), so save first and use another coc command to get out.

Teleport to COE Plaza in Akila City

The ID comes from TweakTown's walkthrough and Game8's location table, which lists many more city cells in the same coc format.

Kill all hostile characters nearby

Only hostile actors in the immediate area are affected (the game's help text), which makes it safer than killall.

Kill every character in the loaded area

Not limited to enemies: GamingBolt says it includes your companion, Gamer Guides adds hostile ships, and StarfieldDB says it can clear entire cities. Important story characters are only incapacitated (GamesRadar). It can break quests.

Kill the character you clicked

Open the console, click the NPC so it is selected, then type kill. Important or mission-critical characters are only incapacitated (PCGamesN, Shacknews). Killing someone a quest needs can break that quest (Gamer Guides).

Revive the corpse you clicked

Click the dead character in the console first. PC Gamer says a generic NPC may come back as a different generic NPC; Gamer Guides says it does not work on every NPC and can conflict with quests.

Unlock the door, container or safe you clicked

Open the console, click the locked object, then type unlock; it skips the digipick minigame. Game8 says it does not work on locks tied to quests.

Toggle AI: freeze NPCs in place

With nothing selected it affects every NPC, and if you click one first it affects only that character (the game's help text). Run it again to restore. Gamer Guides warns it can cause quest progression problems.

Toggle combat AI so enemies stop fighting

Guides describe it as making NPCs passive (PC Gamer, GamesRadar, Gamer Guides) or as stopping enemies from targeting you (Fextralife, Game8); the game's help text says it toggles all combat AI. Gamer Guides warns it can cause quest progression issues. Do not confuse it with tai, which freezes all AI.

Toggle NPC detection

While it is on, NPCs cannot detect you: PC Gamer says you will not be noticed in stealth and GamingBolt says it lets you steal without consequences. Run it again to restore. Gamer Guides warns it can cause quest progression issues.

Add credits

f is the short form of the credits ID 0000000F, so player.additem 0000000f <amount> does the same thing (PC Gamer, PCGamesN, GamesRadar, Shacknews, Windows Central). It adds to your balance; it does not set the total.

Add digipicks

a is the short form of the digipick ID 0000000A, which is also the base ID on the Starfield Wiki's Digipick page. Digipicks weigh nothing (Starfield Wiki, StarfieldDB), so large stacks are safe to carry.

Add any item to your inventory

ItemID is an eight-character hex ID and leading zeros can be dropped (Shacknews, Space4Games). Look IDs up with the help command below. Only base-game IDs are published on this page; items from the Shattered Space expansion or other DLC use different IDs and are not covered. Weapons can arrive with random mods (PC Gamer).

Spawn an item or creature in front of you

Works for items, NPCs and creatures (Fextralife, StarfieldDB). PC Gamer warns that very large counts can crash the game. Shacknews says to use player.additem for ammo, because this command scatters loose rounds on the ground.

Look up an ID by name

Type help, a word from the name and 4 to list items, cells and other forms; the ID is the eight-character hex in brackets, for example AMMO: (002B5592) 40mm XPL (Fandom wiki). Add a four-letter form type to narrow the results, such as WEAP, AMMO, ARMO, ALCH, OMOD, PERK, QUST or NPC_ (Shacknews, Fandom wiki, PC Gamer). help <word> 1 searches commands instead (PC Gamer, Inverse).

Add Med Packs

ID 0000ABF9 (editor ID Aid_MedPack on the Starfield Wiki) matches GamesRadar, GamingBolt and Shacknews. TweakTown's list prints 00000009 for med packs, which no other source or the wiki supports.

Add Aluminum

ID matches PC Gamer, Fextralife, Shacknews, GamingBolt, TweakTown and the Starfield Wiki object ID (editor ID InorgCommonAluminum). Use player.additem rather than placeatme to put resources straight into your inventory.

Add Iron

ID matches PC Gamer, Fextralife, Shacknews, GamingBolt, TweakTown and the Starfield Wiki object ID (editor ID InorgCommonIron).

Add Titanium

ID matches PC Gamer, Fextralife, Shacknews, GamingBolt, TweakTown and the Starfield Wiki object ID (editor ID InorgRareTitanium).

Add Helium-3

ID matches PC Gamer, Shacknews, GamingBolt, TweakTown and the Starfield Wiki object ID (editor ID InorgCommonHelium3).

Add 11mm Caseless ammo

ID matches PC Gamer, GGRecon, Shacknews, GamingBolt, TweakTown and the Starfield Wiki's 11mm Caseless page. Fextralife's ammo table repeats the 1.5kV LZR ID on this row by mistake.

Add 1.5kV LZR Cartridge ammo

ID matches PC Gamer, GGRecon, Fextralife, Shacknews, GamingBolt, TweakTown and the Starfield Wiki (editor ID AmmoLaserSmall). GamesRadar uses it as its worked example for the help command but prints the ID as 0000BAE3F, which is missing the 2.

Add the Grendel rifle

A ballistic rifle that uses 7.77mm Caseless ammo (Starfield Wiki, GamingBolt). The ID matches the wiki's object ID, GamingBolt, Fextralife, Shacknews and TweakTown, and it is the worked example in the Fandom wiki's console guide. Whether it arrives plain or with mods is random (PC Gamer).

Attach a mod to a weapon

Drop the weapon, open the console and click it in the world to read its reference ID (the number in brackets); you cannot click items in your inventory (Fandom wiki). PC Gamer says you may need to crouch and click around to select it. Find mod IDs with help <mod name> 4 OMOD (Shacknews).

Remove a mod from a weapon

Target the weapon the same way as for .amod, then give the ID of the mod to remove. Listed by GGRecon, Dexerto, Shacknews, TweakTown, GamingBolt, Fextralife and StarfieldDB.

Set your character level

Guides disagree on direction: PC Gamer and Gamer Guides say it can raise or lower your level, while GameRevolution, Game8 and TweakTown say it only goes up. The game's help text says it only recalculates non-player actors, and StarfieldDB warns that it does not add experience and has been linked to bugs, so use player.modav experience when you can.

Add experience points

The amount is added to your current XP, including the level-ups and skill points that come with it (GameSpot, Shacknews, TweakTown, StarfieldDB). StarfieldDB says a large value can take you to the maximum level; its example is 50000 and TweakTown's is 100000.

Add unspent skill points

cgf is the short form of CallGlobalFunction (listed by Dexerto and PCGamesN), which the game's help text says runs the Papyrus function you name first. TweakTown's list (from a Nexus Mods user), a Steam guide commenter and FearLess forum posters all use this exact form; ClutchPoints prints game.addperkpoints <value> without cgf, which none of the others do. No outlet tested it, and a FearLess poster reported that an achievement stopped unlocking after using it.

Add a skill rank, trait or background by ID

Each use adds one rank to a skill (GameSpot, PC Gamer, Gamer Guides), so repeat it for more ranks; Gamer Guides says you may need to close and reopen the console between entries if you have not done the rank's challenge. Dexerto and GamesRead say it needs an unspent skill point, which the other guides do not mention. Full skill, trait and background ID lists are on the Fextralife and Gamer Guides ID pages.

Remove a skill, trait or background by ID

GameSpot and PC Gamer say it removes the skill entirely, while StarfieldDB says each use removes one rank and does not refund the skill point. Use the same ID you would give player.addperk.

Add a rank of the Security skill

ID matches PC Gamer, Fextralife, Shacknews, TweakTown, GamingBolt, ClutchPoints, Gamer Guides and the Starfield Wiki form ID (editor ID Skill_Security). Security is the skill the wiki's Digipick page points to for using digipicks.

Add the Hero Worshipped trait (the Adoring Fan follower)

ID matches PC Gamer, Fextralife, Shacknews, TweakTown, ClutchPoints, Gamer Guides and the Starfield Wiki trait ID. Use player.removeperk 00227FD9 to take it off; the wiki's in-game route is to tell the Adoring Fan you plan to kill him and then do it.

Open the full character creator

Reopens the creator including name, background and traits (PC Gamer, GamesRadar, Shacknews). Shacknews warns it resets your appearance and suggests option 2 instead, and a Nexus-sourced list on TweakTown says you may need Alt+F4 to leave without changes, so save first.

Open the partial character creator

Cosmetic changes only; your traits and background stay as they are (PC Gamer, GamesRadar, ClutchPoints).

Switch body type and reset your look

Changes your character to the other default body type and resets the appearance to a default look (PC Gamer, GamesRadar, Shacknews).

Add every Starborn power

Adds all powers at once (PC Gamer, PCGamesN, GamesRadar, Inverse). Gamer Guides flags it as a spoiler for late-game mechanics, so skip it on a first playthrough. The game's help text calls the command PlayerSpellBook.

Make every speech challenge succeed

1 turns it on; PC Gamer pairs it with setforcespeechchallengealwaysfail for guaranteed failure. The off value is unclear: guides list 0 as the other option, but ClutchPoints says 0 makes every challenge fail, so reload a save if persuasion stays rigged.

Pay off a faction's bounty

Fextralife says this form keeps you out of jail and lets you keep stolen items, and PC Gamer says the fine comes out of your credits. IDs that PC Gamer, Fextralife, Shacknews and Inverse agree on: Crimson Fleet 00010B30, Freestar Collective 000638E5, Neon/Ryujin Industries 0026FDEA, United Colonies 0005BD93. TweakTown marks the Trade Authority ID as possibly wrong, so it is not listed.

Pay off the Crimson Fleet bounty

ID 00010B30 is the same in PC Gamer, Fextralife, Shacknews, TweakTown, Inverse and ClutchPoints.

Pay off the United Colonies bounty

ID 0005BD93 is the same in PC Gamer, Fextralife, Shacknews, TweakTown, Inverse and ClutchPoints.

Set a companion's affinity

Open the console with the companion in view and click them to target them, then use getav com_affinity to read the number and setav com_affinity <value> to change it. Unique conversations trigger at 100, 200, 300 and so on, so PC Gamer and GameSpot suggest setting one point below the next level (99, 199) and then doing something the companion likes. Note the original value first.

Start every quest in the game

High crash risk. StarfieldDB says it begins every mission through a huge number of stage changes and can teleport you, and Gamer Guides says a save can stay broken even after reloading. Use only on a throwaway save.

Complete quests across the game

Sources disagree on scope: PCGamesN says main story and side missions, while Dexerto and Fextralife say main story quests. StarfieldDB rates the crash risk lower than saq but still high, and Gamer Guides warns of serious quest and story conflicts. Use only on a throwaway save.

List your active quests and their codes

Prints your current quests with a code after each name; then type help followed by that code or the quest name to see the quest ID in brackets (Pro Game Guides). help <word> 4 QUST also finds completed quests. The Starfield Wiki's console page lists sqt as well.

Mark a quest as completed

Sets the quest to the completed state (the game's help text). Pro Game Guides used it to clear a mission that kept coming back as active; it moves the quest to your completed list, so you miss any rewards, and the guide warns it can damage a save. Find the quest ID with sqt or help <name> 4 QUST.

Jump a quest to a specific stage

Use getstage <QuestID> to read the current stage first (the game's help text). DotEsports and the Starfield Community Patch both give it as a fix for stuck quests; the patch pairs it with startquest to rescue a stuck Ryujin Industries quest. Forcing a stage can skip steps or leave a quest in a bad state, so back up first.

Pass a number of in-game hours

The game's help text says it passes time as if you were sleeping; PC Gamer, Shacknews and the Steam guide list it with the same use.

Open the wait menu anywhere

Opens the same wait menu you get at a bed or chair (PC Gamer, GGRecon, StarfieldDB).

Force the weather to a specific type

The game's help text says ForceWeather (fw) switches the active weather instantly and SetWeather (sw) sets it; DigiStatement describes setweather <WeatherID> as the gradual version. DigiStatement is the only guide that shows them and says to find IDs by typing help rain, and no guide gives a tested weather ID, so treat this as untested.

Add Ship Parts, the item used to repair hull damage

ID 0003FB19 (editor ID ShipRepairKit) is in Shacknews and GamingBolt, and the Starfield Wiki describes the item as used to repair spaceship hull damage. Each part weighs 10 (wiki, Shacknews), so a big stack is heavy.

Refuel a ship

Refuels the ship you clicked in the console, or your own spaceship if nothing is selected (the game's help text, PC Gamer, ClutchPoints).

Remove a stuck object you clicked

DotEsports used it on asteroid rocks stuck to a ship: open the console, click the object, type disable, then close the console. The game's help text lists enable as the counterpart, but no guide shows undoing it, so treat disable as one-way and never use it on quest items or NPCs.
