Sons of the Forest Cheat Codes & Console Commands (2026)
Looking to bend the rules of survival in Sons of the Forest? I’ve spent countless hours testing every console command and cheat code available in this brutal survival game, and I’m here to share everything you need to know about taking control of your cannibal-infested experience.
Whether you want to become invincible with godmode, spawn an army of Kelvins to help you build, or simply skip the grind and get every item instantly, this comprehensive guide has you covered. I’ll walk you through multiple methods to access console commands, provide detailed lists of every working command, and even show you how to spawn specific items using their unique IDs.
Quick Reference: Essential Console Commands
| Command | Effect | Status |
|---|---|---|
godmode on/off | Makes you invincible | ✅ Working |
addallitems | Gives you every item | ✅ Working |
superjump on/off | Enables super jump | ✅ Working |
speedyrun on/off | Enables super speed | ✅ Working |
cavelight on/off | Lights up surroundings | ✅ Working |

killradius [number] | Kills enemies in radius | ✅ Working |
How to Access Console Commands in Sons of the Forest?
Before we dive into the commands themselves, you need to know how to actually access the console. I’ve tested multiple methods, and I’ll show you the two primary ways to enable console commands in Sons of the Forest.
Method 1: The Cheatstick Method (Recommended)
This is the most straightforward method and doesn’t require any third-party software:
- Load your game – Start a new game or load an existing save
- Type “cheatstick” – Simply type the word “cheatstick” while in-game (no quotes needed)
- Press F1 – This brings up the console command interface
- Enter your command – Type your desired command in the top-left corner
- Press Enter – Execute the command
- Press F1 again – Close the console when done
Pro Tip: I recommend pressing Esc before typing “cheatstick” to avoid opening your inventory. The game won’t give you any confirmation that you’ve successfully enabled the console, but if F1 brings up the command list, you’re good to go!
Method 2: WeMod (Third-Party Option)
For those who prefer a more user-friendly interface, WeMod offers an alternative method:
- Download WeMod – Get it from the official WeMod website
- Install and create an account – Follow the setup process
- Launch Sons of the Forest through WeMod – It should auto-detect the game
- Press F10 – This enables the Debug Console (you’ll hear a beep)
- Press F1 – Brings up the console command menu
- Enter commands – Type your desired commands
⚠️ Important Warning: Always use console commands and cheats in offline mode only. Using them online can result in bans, and some commands may cause game crashes or bugs.
Keyboard Layout Issues
If you’re using a non-US keyboard layout, you might encounter issues with console commands. Here’s how to fix it:
- Press Windows + I to open Settings
- Click on Time & Language → Language
- Click on your language and select Options
- Click Add a keyboard under Keyboards
- Select US keyboard
You don’t need to remove your original keyboard layout, but the US layout is required for console commands to work properly.
Essential Console Commands for Survival
Now that you know how to access the console, let’s dive into the most useful commands. I’ve categorized these by function to make it easier to find what you need.
Player Enhancement Commands
These commands directly affect your character’s abilities and stats:
God Mode and Invincibility
godmode on - Enables god mode (invincibility)
godmode off - Disables god modeWhen enabled, god mode makes you completely invincible, gives you maximum health, hunger, hydration, and energy. It’s the ultimate survival tool for when things get too overwhelming.
Health and Stats Management
regenhealth - Instantly refills your health bar
buffstats - Refills hunger, thirst, and stamina
setstrengthlevel [number] - Sets your strength level (try 100 for maximum)I find buffstats particularly useful during long exploration sessions when I don’t want to worry about survival mechanics.
Movement Enhancements
superjump on - Enables super jump (jump much higher)
superjump off - Disables super jump
speedyrun on - Enables super-fast running
speedyrun off - Disables super-fast runningThese movement commands are fantastic for exploration. I love using superjump to reach otherwise inaccessible areas and speedyrun to quickly traverse the island.
Vision and Stealth
cavelight on - Makes you emit light (perfect for caves)
cavelight off - Turns off your personal light
createlight - Spawns a floating light source
invisible on - Makes you invisible to enemies
invisible off - Makes you visible to enemies again
showhud off - Hides the HUD for immersive gameplay
showhud on - Shows the HUD againThe cavelight command is a lifesaver in dark caves, though I’ve heard it was nerfed recently because streamers were using it too much. The invisible command is great for when you want to explore without being constantly attacked.
Item Management Commands
These commands help you manage your inventory and spawn items:
Complete Inventory Control
addallitems - Adds a full stack of every item to your inventory
removeallitems - Removes most items from your inventory
addallstoryitems - Adds all story-critical items
additem [item name] - Adds a specific item (e.g., additem chainsaw)
setinventorypercent [number] - Changes quantity of all items by percentageThe addallitems command is incredibly powerful – it gives you everything from weapons and tools to resources and building materials. Just be aware that it can make the game less challenging.
Specific Item Spawning
spawnworldobject [object] - Spawns a world object (e.g., spawnworldobject rock)
spawnitem [ID] [quantity] - Spawns items using ID numbersFor example, spawnitem 78 50 would spawn 50 logs, while spawnitem 362 50 spawns 50 pistol ammo rounds.
Time and Weather Control
Control the very fabric of the game world:
Time Manipulation
settimeofday [1-24] - Sets time of day (1-24 hour format)
settimeofday morning - Sets time to early morning
settimeofday night - Sets time to night
locktimeofday morning - Locks time to morning
jumptimeofday - Fast-forwards time
timescale [number] - Changes game speed (1 is normal)I love using locktimeofday morning for eternal daylight when building bases, and timescale is great for speeding up waiting periods.
Season Control
season spring - Changes season to spring
season summer - Changes season to summer
season autumn - Changes season to autumn
season winter - Changes season to winter
unlockseason - Unlocks season progressionDifferent seasons affect gameplay significantly, so being able to control them is incredibly useful for planning and building.
Weather Control
forcerain heavy - Forces heavy rain
forcerain sunny - Forces sunny weatherPerfect for setting the mood or getting rid of rain when it’s interfering with your building plans.
Character and Companion Commands
These commands allow you to spawn and control characters:
⚠️ Important Note: According to recent reports, some character spawning commands may have been disabled in the Version 1.0 update. I’ll include them here but note their current status.
Companion Spawning
addcharacter robby - Spawns Kelvin (⚠️ May not work in 1.0)
addcharacter virginia - Spawns Virginia (⚠️ May not work in 1.0)
addcharacter timmy - Spawns Timmy (⚠️ May not work in 1.0)If these commands don’t work, you may need to install a mod to restore them. The community has created mods specifically to bring back these character spawning features.
Companion Management
aigodmode on - Enables god mode for companions
aigodmode off - Disables god mode for companions
robbycarry - Makes Kelvin carry items (when available)I always enable aigodmode for my companions because losing Kelvin or Virginia to a random mutant attack is heartbreaking!
AI and Enemy Control
Take control of the game’s AI systems:
AI Behavior Control
aiangerlevel [number] - Changes AI anger level globally
aianimspeed [number] - Changes AI animation speed (1 = normal)
aiarmorlevel [number] - Changes AI armor level
aiarmortier [0-4] - Changes AI armor type (0=None, 1=Leaf, 2=Bone, 3=Creepy, 4=Solafite)
aidummy on/off - Makes AI unaware of your presence
aighostplayer on/off - Makes you invisible to AIThe aianimspeed command is hilarious – set it to 0.1 for super slow-motion enemies or 10 for lightning-fast cannibals!
AI System Control
aipause on/off - Pauses all AI activity
aidisable on/off - Completely removes all AI (including companions!)
aishowthoughts on - Shows AI thoughts and decision-making
killradius [number] - Kills everything within specified radiusWarning: Be careful with killradius – it will kill everything in the radius, including your companions if they’re nearby!
Building and Construction Commands
Make building easier and more creative:
Building Enhancements

Console Commands Not Working
If your console commands aren’t working, try these solutions:
- Check keyboard layout – Ensure you’re using US keyboard layout
- Re-enter cheatstick – Type “cheatstick” again and press F1
- Restart the game – Sometimes a simple restart fixes the issue
- Check command spelling – Many commands are case-sensitive
- Verify game files – Through Steam, right-click the game → Properties → Local Files → Verify Integrity

Some commands that worked in earlier versions may have been disabled in the 1.0 update:
addcharacter robby– Spawning Kelvinaddcharacter virginia– Spawning Virginiaaddprefab– Spawning prefabs- Various character-specific commands
Solution: The modding community has created mods to restore these commands. Check Nexus Mods for “Sons of the Forest” mods that restore console commands.
Game Crashes When Using Commands
Some commands can cause instability:
- Use commands offline only – Never use commands in multiplayer
- Backup saves – Always keep backup save files
- Avoid experimental commands – Stick to well-known commands
- Update the game – Ensure you’re running the latest version

Multiplayer Considerations
When playing with friends, console commands require extra caution:
- Host only – Only the game host can use most console commands
- Communicate – Let your friends know before using commands
- Game-breaking commands – Some commands can break multiplayer sessions
- Sync issues – Commands may cause desync between players
Best Practices and Ethical Considerations (2026)
When to Use Console Commands
I believe console commands are best used in these situations:
✅ Acceptable Uses:
- Learning game mechanics
- Testing base designs
- Overcoming bugs or glitches
- Creating custom scenarios
- Photography and content creation
- Experimentation after completing the game
❌ Avoid These:
- Ruining other players’ experience in multiplayer
- Using commands to skip all challenge permanently
- Bragging about achievements earned with cheats
- Using commands in competitive situations
Preserving the Challenge
If you want to use commands but still maintain some challenge:
- Limit usage – Only use commands for specific purposes
- Self-imposed rules – Create your own restrictions
- Progressive unlocking – Only use commands after reaching certain milestones
- Challenge runs – Use commands to create harder scenarios

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enable console commands in Sons of the Forest?
To enable console commands, simply type “cheatstick” while in-game (no quotes needed), then press F1 to bring up the console command interface. Enter your commands in the top-left corner and press Enter to execute them.
Can I get banned for using console commands?
Yes, you can potentially get banned if you use console commands while playing online or in multiplayer sessions. Always use console commands in offline mode only to avoid any risk of bans.
Why aren’t my console commands working?
Several factors could prevent console commands from working: incorrect keyboard layout (need US layout), misspelled commands, not typing “cheatstick” first, or using commands that were removed in the 1.0 update. Try restarting the game and ensuring you’re using the correct syntax.
What’s the difference between additem and spawnitem?
additem [item name] adds items directly to your inventory, while spawnitem [ID] [quantity] spawns items in the world around you. Additem is generally easier for getting items, while spawnitem is useful for creating item piles or testing.
How do I spawn Kelvin or Virginia?
The commands addcharacter robby (for Kelvin) and addcharacter virginia (for Virginia) may not work in Version 1.0. You may need to install a mod from Nexus Mods to restore these character spawning functions.
Can console commands corrupt my save files?
While rare, some console commands can potentially cause save file corruption or game crashes. Always back up your save files before using experimental commands, and avoid using commands that seem unstable or poorly documented.
What’s the most useful console command for beginners?
For beginners, godmode on is the most useful command as it makes you invincible and refills all your stats, allowing you to explore and learn without constant fear of death. addallitems is also very helpful for understanding all available items.
How do I use Item IDs to spawn specific items?
You can use Item IDs with the spawnitem command followed by the ID number and quantity (e.g., spawnitem 78 50 for 50 logs). Alternatively, you can edit your save files directly using the Item IDs for more precise control over quantities.
Are console commands available on console versions of the game?
Console commands are typically only available on the PC version of Sons of the Forest. Console versions (PlayStation, Xbox) generally do not have access to debug console commands.
Will using console commands disable achievements?
Yes, using console commands will typically disable achievements for that playthrough. If you want to earn achievements, complete the game without using any console commands or cheats.
