Notes

If you're reading this DEADication, shoot me a message; I'll pass guide ownership over to you, since this is basically your work.

[Seeker of Knowledge]

How do you give yourself xp I can't get the command to work

[Seeker of Knowledge]

How do you disable thirst and hunger?

[iAmHuggies]

Do the " Set Game Preferences, Set Game Stats" commands not work in a dedicated server through a server hosting site? setting game preferences or game stats for "CraftTimer" doesn't work.

[LazerJacky]

I dont have F1

[Imagnus cal'Nova]

Are the System Commands considered "cheating" by EAC? As in will using them get me banned from EAC servers?

[Uncle Mim]

when using the spawnself command the listings for item names can be found in the 7 days to die folder under config and select the items file (best opened with notepad)

some basics would be

giveself resourcescrapironbundle
giveself toolforgecrucible
giveself vehicleMotorcycleChassis

hoppe this helps

[Synaptic Cipher]

Will using the console make me not be able to work on, and earn achievements? I wanna change my fov, but don't want to risk breaking cheevos.

[Buddy]

You know what? Now I only need the commands to summon zombies, for now, I can hack the system. >:)

[Hamez the Horrible]

Frankly, this list is probably out of date now. It was not mine to begin with, but I shared it here in the event it was more convenient for some people. Your best bet is to check the 7DtD Forums to see if an updated list has been posted there.

[jokerace45]

Is this still up to date and revelent ?
