Here's the honest version: Satisfactory's console handles FOV, FPS and graphics — not cheats. The toggles people actually want — no build cost, flight, god mode, free items — live in the Creative Mode menu (called Advanced Game Settings before Patch 1.2). This page covers both, and which one you actually need. Search, copy, paste.
Open the console: press ` (backtick) / ~ / §. Press once for a one-line bar, again for the larger window (some commands need it). If the key does nothing, add ConsoleKeys=F6 under [/Script/Engine.InputSettings] in %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\Windows\Input.ini. The console is on by default and doesn't disable achievements.
For the real cheats, enable Creative Mode: on a new game click the Creative Mode button; on an existing save tick Enable Creative Mode on the Load Game screen, then confirm the warning. This permanently disables achievements for that save and can't be undone.
Achievement-safe tuning: the separate Game Modes menu (new game only) changes cost, power and world-randomization multipliers without disabling achievements — but it has no god / flight / free-build toggles.
Fly, God, GiveItem and Teleport show up in autocomplete but do nothing in Satisfactory. The real cheats are Creative Mode / Advanced Game Settings toggles (below), and turning that on disables achievements for the save. Most r.* graphics tweaks also reset when you close the game unless you save them to Engine.ini.Type to filter, hit Copy, paste into the console. These are the real console commands — mostly view, performance and graphics. Placeholders in [brackets] are values you fill in.

These are not console commands — they're toggles in the in-game Creative Mode menu (called Advanced Game Settings before Patch 1.2). This is where the cheats people actually want live. Enabling Creative Mode permanently disables achievements for the save.

There's no "unlimited inventory slots" cheat — extra slots come from normal Inventory research in the MAM, not a Creative Mode toggle. The cheat-adjacent equivalent is No Build Cost + Give Items.
