Go to line 37 and add the line

Save and play.

Now you can access any of these commands from the chat window.

Always make a back up of the file before edit.
This line will need to be added every update.

EDIT: Be careful with /recreate.
It will regenerate the entire world.
All builds will be removed, all enemies respawned, all items respawned, all batteries removed where player installed.

Interesting

Alternatively you can add the line

g_survivalDev = true

at the end of the file SurvivalGame.lua instead of line 37.
Just scroll all the way to the bottom, add it, save.

Is there a way to do this in creative? Can I spawn bots in creative?

But this is not a console, but only a fragment of the developer mode, isn't it?

Yeah, I am on the quest to find out how to actually Access the console itself , since some of the commands print to console

I tried to open the developer functions in survival and found that the game checks the variable self.sv.saved.data.dev and tried to change it globally but I could only set it locally through the survivalgame.lua script and I also noticed that in my settings.json the parameter "Devsosnole": 0 appeared but after changing it to 1 I did not notice the change. as a result, I have the parameter devconsole: 1 in the settings and a world in survival with developer commands (this is exactly one mmir with developer mode, not a modification of the game code)
