Every Empyrion – Galactic Survival console command worth knowing — god mode, item spawning, teleport, weather, faction and server admin — plus how to open the console and the four permission levels that gate them. Search the list, hit copy, paste in-game.
Open the console: press ~ (tilde) — the key just left of 1. Older guides reference the backtick `; it's the same physical key.
Know the permission levels. Commands are gated by four cumulative tiers: 0 = every player, 3 = GameMaster (gm), 6 = Moderator (mod), 9 = Administrator (admin). A higher tier can run everything below it.
Claim admin. On a brand-new server, type initadmin to make yourself the administrator (level 9) — it only works while the server has no admin yet.
Grant roles to others with setrole [steamID or name] [role] (role = pl / gm / mod / admin). Dedicated servers also set elevation in adminconfig.yaml.
level cap of 25 and the time 0–22000 range are stale, and setrotation is unreliable in multiplayer. When in doubt, run help in-game — it prints the exact list for your build.Type to filter, hit Copy, paste in-game. 54 commands. Placeholders in [brackets] are values you fill in.
