Overview

Improved Debug Console takes the vanilla Sons of the Forest command console and adds much needed improvements, making it more accessible for everyone.

Key Features:

  • Smart Auto-Complete: Instantly suggests item names, characters, weather types, prefabs, and world events as you type.
  • In-Game Descriptions: See exactly what every command does and what arguments it requires directly inside the console UI.
  • Universal Decimal Support: Automatically handles both periods (0.5) and commas (0,5) for number inputs, preventing errors for international players.

For developers:

If you want to register your own commands onto the system you can get more information here: https://github.com/laserman120/ImprovedDebugConsole-External-Command-Examples

Warning!

Debug commands were originally made to debug the game. Some commands can do irreversable damage to your save. Use them with caution.

How to install this mod

Five minutes, no manager required. These steps are for ImprovedDebugConsole.

This mod needs RedLoader, not BepInEx. BepInEx mods and guides don’t apply to Sons of the Forest.

  1. Install RedLoader

    RedLoader is the mod loader of Sons of the Forest. Install it once and every mod works.

    How to install RedLoader
  2. Download ImprovedDebugConsole v1.0.1

    Download v1.0.1
  3. Extract the ZIP into the Mods folder

    On your PC, extract it into the game’s Mods folder:

    Steam/steamapps/common/Sons Of The Forest/Mods

    Keep the folder structure of the ZIP. Don’t put the ZIP itself in the folder.

  4. Launch the game

    RedLoader loads the mod on start. Press F1 in the main menu to see the list of mods.

    Multiplayer: Host only.

Prefer one click? RedManager installs and updates mods and their dependencies for you.
