Console Commands

[Doctor Proteus]

Does Endless Space 2 have a console and console commands/cheats?

All I can find on Google are Endless Legend threads.

Hey :)

The game doesn't have a console to input command but if you enable the modding tools in the launch options of the game with the command --enablemoddingtools , you can get access to various debug features.
Once the modding tools are enabled, you can use the debig features in-game:
Shift+F1 opens a debug menu
Shift+F2 gives you a lot of all resources
Shift+F3 reveals the map
Pressing G activates the "god cursor" that you can then use to click various elements (resources, ships, gauges etc...) to modify (often increase) their values. Holding Shift, Control or Alt may results in different effects (such as reducing or maxing out values)

I hope this is good enough to get you started! :)

Cheers!

Thank you for the reply! I was hoping I could use it to delete Pirates who are essentially ejecting enemy AI's from the game. Pirates have 5 Empires on total lockdown in the game I'm playing right now.

Hi again,

You can disable Pirates when setting up a new game by setting teh Pirate Difficulty setting to "None"

Cheers :)

Is there any way to get rid of pirates WITHOUT "starting a new game"? e.g. a "kill selected enemy fleet" command?

Pirates are everywhere for me, too, and while my navy is keeping pace (barely), the AI civs are completely overwhelmed by them. I realize (or at least, I hope) this behavior isn't WAD, and will be tweaked at a later date to make pirate spawn rates more reasonable, but I'm enjoying my run so far and I really don't want to have to "start over" because of pirates.

To deal with Pirates efficiently, you need to use your Fleets to destroy their ships but more importantly, you need to launch assaults (Ground Battle) against their Lairs (you may need to wittle down their stationed Manpower by sieging the Lair for a few turns)

If you're swarmed with Pirates, I recommend you put task forces together, equipped with sieging modules and start busting those buggers!
Note: Lairs will only (re)spawn on Star Systems (not special nodes such as Asteroid Fields etc..) that are inoccupied, thus they are obund to disappear as the game progresses and Empires develop.

Another point that might interest you is that normally, if there is no Lair (because they have all been destoyed in a quick succession) in the Galaxy for a few turn (usually 3, I think) the Pirate empire is consideredd destroyed and Lairs should not appear anymore.

I hope this helps!

That's not the point, I handled the Pirates, even if it was incredibly hard. The point is, the AI is incapable of handling them. It's no wonder I keep winning because the other AI's all have 76 Pirates locking down their entire Empire. I'll post screenshots later in a new thread.

[Aury]

76 Pirates..? A save would be more interesting to us so we can look into it.

This is where the thread ends? I'm very curious if this was a code glitch, if it got fixed or ummm...if I'll find myself in a nearly simular situation at some point....

[Kylandor]

What exactly can you do with the modding tools? Can I say, change my starting system from a binary (or any other star type) to yellow sun as well as change the planet biomes? (So I can make a convicing Sol System for my Terran Republic faction)

[browsergame2010]

If you have ce, than you can work with research points. and am is good for credits. more you dont need.

Hello, and it is possible to disable the AI to use the switching empires to simulate the hot seat? Because the AI does things anyway.
