Can't Use All Console Commands as Admin?

[Wolf]

Heya,

I'll cut straight to the chase, I was trying to mess around with console commands on a private server and found that both "/meteor impact" and "/meteor fall" did not work, with the game telling me I did not have the required permission. I tried making myself an admin through console commands and it did nothing.

Does some console command have been disabled? Is it an issue that can be worked around/fixed by my lonesome?

Thank you.

No, dangerous and QA / Dev commands are no longer available to everyone. They can only be used by Dev-Tier users in singleplayer for development purposes or by SLG Staff.

This was done due to a multitude of issues caused by admins trying out QA commands, destroying their server permanently, some then even blaming SLG for a 'bug' towards their angered playerbase.

Thank you for the answer.

I am unfortunately not surprised by the reason, though I'm still disappointed they blamed SLG for nothing.

will you be able to use /creative in the future

I'm not sure, but longterm we plan to introduce a creative mode anyway.

i think all commands should be enabled with a disclaimer that they can sometimes/always break servers forcing hosts/admins to reinstall server.

Disabling these commands is very stupid and takes away from server ownership.

if someone breaks their server because they used these commands its on them, SLG shouldnt have a say in how we server owners use our servers.

with that said how do we bypass the permissions block on a dedicated server that WE own.

That was the case before, but admins used them and broke worlds regularly, complaints falling back to us - so we restricted their access to developers. These commands are specifically made for our developers and QA to quickly test specific scenarios in ways that don't care about savegame integrity and are rather efficient for and suited towards our work - as such they are dangerous by nature, their effects not obvious for people that don't work with them regularly. They simply aren't supposed to be used by anyone else or for any other purpose.

Omg, I can't get the meteor fall and impact commands to work. I been waiting so long to do that, and the wet tailings fall command Nothing works. I can't even do a TikTok on it. The last day of the server and this frustrates me. Hopefully they fix that admin should be able to do what they need to do. Broken hearted.

When will these commands be coming back for everyone?

[SLG-Dennis]

They won't. They are intended for development and QA purposes and are solely available for that, my statements above still stand.

How to use them in single player?

I agree with him on this,

Commands that are only restricted to Developer Tier can simply be used by players owning it, there is no specific steps.

I understand, but our stance hasn't changed. Most games don't even show or list such commands at all - for very good reasons, which have been already explained.

Eco has tons of useful commands available for admins and is easily moddable to create your own. Of course you also can create suggestions on our feedback tracker for other commands with a common use for admins to be implemented.

Developer commands however are specifically made for efficient usage in our work environments and not intended for usage on save games that are played normally.
