how to trigger events?

[d_d_c_95]

earth moves ground shakes ect, there an action i can take to trigger these events when i want them to happen i just finished walling round my base and i wanna see how it holds up

[Zaflis]

It's all random, you can't trigger an invasion on purpose. That said i started new world just today and i've already had 3 invasions on my tiny meadows home.

Go afk and hit the can

You can with console commands. I don't know exactly which ones you use to trigger the events you want, so you will have to look them up, but to get you started, type -console in the steam start up options. Then in game press F5 and type devcommands.

Hit F5 to open console,
Enter: devcommands
Enter: debugmode
That will enable you to use the following commands:
That will let you start-stop flying using "z", so you can move around and see whats going on,
Enter: startevent (event name)
Enter: stopevent
You can find all the console commands on the web easily.

f5 not bringing up consol nether is ` which does for other games and im not seeing anythign about it in settings

[Zep Tepi]

As I said earlier, type -console in the steam game start up settings. Go to your game in the library, right click and hit properties.

oh is that what that launch options box is for? i always assumed it had something to do with mods

Just as a summary, you can find all info on the console commands here:

Hey i am on my own server and i aktivated devcommands and debugmode....
But no matter what i do i cant trigger an event via console....

i tried so far.

- event army_molder

Believe you have a typo for the 4th boss.

Type startevent space and then tab to cycle through suggestions.

No no.
Event <tab> to cycle them.

If you use Randomevent, it will trigger any eligable event it can do (since not all events can trigger everywhere)

A good command is listkeys, where you will see what triggers you have done and which event is possible to trigger.

A good video explaining how events works :)

Or you could just spawn the relevant creatures outside your base. You can control what level (how many stars) they are then as well.
