The Game is great, but...

So I picked the thing up yesterday, and after a couple three false starts I thought I had figured it out.
I was wrong.
I ran out of Iron before I could get the elevator up and running.
To make matters worse not only could I not get the elevator up and running but I ran out of materials before I could get the robot assembly station up and running, to allow for deep mining.
I have tried to create as many cave ins as possible in hopes that goodies will fall from above but to no real avail. as apparently my map has learned to defy the laws of gravity.
Question is this, is there a way to access console commands to procure some more resources?
I spent a little over 16 hours to finally get to this point and I dread the idea of having to restart.
I falsely assumed that building naturally as the tech tree progressed, would not be a problem for getting to the surface, as the ability to build an elevator is pretty deep into the tech tree.

Hey there got similar problem you can use debug menu F7 to spawn some reasource under the "infinite" icon tab

Thanks for the response.
I did not see your message until after I had already loaded up the game to see what I could figure out.
I ended up deconstructing two medical beds, as no one was using them anyway, and one of my bio refineries. This gave me enough to finish up construction on the Robot Assembly and the ability to construct a driller robot.
After that I was able to finish up the elevator, and begin to explore the map, which solved all any future resource problems that might have popped up.
I eventually unlocked most everything the game has a the moment.
I am not certain exactly how to stock things like the Aquarium (s) and Algae production. I HAVE the fish and algae but for some reason unknown to me they cant be stocked.
I think this might be tied to food production currently being limited.

Note: Eventually chunks of the ceiling did start to fall again, I suspect the event might be on a timer or something, or perhaps you just need to reload on occasion.

Game balance changes are coming in the next patch update that specifically reduce the amount of steel/iron required in favor of other materials. These changes are currently available in the experimental branch for testing.

The Aquarium and the Algae Farm require fish eggs and algae spores respectively. These are found in specific POI locations on the surface that are acquired via expeditions.
