Do console commands disable achievements in Subnautica?

Yes. Enabling the console disables Steam achievements for that play session — which is why it's off by default and must be re-enabled each launch. If you care about achievements, use a fresh save or a mod that re-enables them.

How do you spawn items in Subnautica?

Use 'item [name] [number]' to add an item straight to your inventory (e.g. item titanium 5), or 'spawn [name] [number]' to spawn an item, object or creature in the world in front of you. Item names are the in-game names lowercased; the full Spawn IDs list is on the Subnautica wiki.

Subnautica Console Commands — Full List & How to Enable (2026)

Q: How do you open the console in Subnautica?

How to Enable the Console

Current versions: press Shift + Enter, or the ` (backtick/tilde) key, to bring up the input box.
Older builds: press F3, then F8 to free the cursor, untick "Disable Console" (top-left), then press Enter to open the box.
It's off by default every launch, so you re-enable it each session.

Console = no achievements. Turning the console on disables Steam achievements for that session (that's the whole reason it's off by default). Use a throwaway save for cheats, or a "re-enable achievements" mod if you want both. And save before trying unfamiliar commands — some make changes you can't undo.
