Enshrouded Console Commands: Do They Exist? Admin and Cheats

November 8, 2026 · Cheat Codes, Survival

Quick answer: Enshrouded has no console commands or cheat codes. Enshrouded console commands do not exist in the game, and servers have no admin console, chat commands or RCON. Dedicated servers are managed through enshrouded_server.json and role passwords.

Enshrouded console commands do not exist. The game has no built-in console, no cheat codes and no chat commands, on PC or on consoles.

What you can control is the dedicated server. This page was checked against the GameServerKings admin guide plus search results from GameWatcher, Sportskeeda, Supercraft and other guides.

Does Enshrouded have a console?

No. Several guides state that Enshrouded does not currently include any built-in cheats or console commands, and none of them show a way to open one. It is unclear whether Keen Games will add commands as the game develops.

That means typing something like a god mode or item spawn command will not work, in single player or co-op. If you see a list of Enshrouded commands online, treat it with suspicion.

Be careful: Nothing on this page is a cheat code. Third-party tools can corrupt saves or carry malware, and using them with other players can affect the whole session.

How to be admin on an Enshrouded server

You become admin by entering the Admin group password when you join. Enshrouded has no admin console, no chat commands and no RCON, so the role password is the only switch.

Open enshrouded_server.json in your server folder.
Find the Admin entry under userGroups and set a long password.
Save the file and restart the server.
Join the server and enter the Admin password when asked.

Bans and kicks are done in game by a player whose role has canKickBan. Banned accounts are stored in the bannedAccounts array.

Server settings you can change

All the control you get lives in the server config. The main keys are listed below. Gameplay changes need a server restart.

Command	What it does
`name`	Server name shown in the list.
`queryPort`	Query port. Default is 15637 (UDP).
`slotCount`	Player slots, from 1 to 16.
`voiceChatMode`	Proximity or Global voice chat.
`enableVoiceChat` / `enableTextChat`	Both false by default.
`gameSettingsPreset`	Default, Relaxed, Hard, Survival or Custom.
`gameSettings`	Fine-tuning values such as enemyHealthFactor, playerStaminaFactor, enableDurability, weatherFrequency and tombstoneMode. Ignored unless the preset is Custom.
`userGroups`	Roles with passwords and permissions.
`bannedAccounts`	List of banned accounts.

Three time values in the settings (dayTimeDuration, nightTimeDuration, fromHungerToStarving) use nanoseconds. Hosted servers may overwrite name, port, slot count and passwords at each boot, so set those in the host’s panel.

Enshrouded user groups and permissions

The default config ships with four groups: Admin, Friend, Guest and Visitor. Each group has these fields.

name and password
canKickBan
canAccessInventories
canEditWorld
canEditBase
canExtendBase
reservedSlots

Guest reserves 3 slots and Friend reserves 1 by default. Guest and Visitor start with identical flags. Change the default passwords (placeholders such as ChangeMe1) before sharing the server address.

Trainers, Cheat Engine and mods

Some guides point to a Cheat Engine table from Nexus Mods for the survival game. These are unofficial and they carry risk. Use them only in a private, offline-style session, keep a copy of your save, and avoid them on shared servers.

Games that do have console commands

If you want typed commands for a survival game, these guides cover working consoles: Palworld console commands, V Rising console commands, Core Keeper console commands and Sunkenland console commands. Sci-fi fans can also try Empyrion console commands.

The main all game cheat codes page lists every other game on the site.

Why Enshrouded admin settings are not working

Edits are ignored: restart the server, because gameplay settings only apply after a restart.
Custom values do nothing: gameSettings values are ignored unless the preset is set to Custom.
Passwords or slots keep resetting: a hosted panel may overwrite them on every boot, so use its Startup tab.
No admin powers: you must enter the Admin group password exactly, and the group needs the right flags.
