## Description

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:[#](#md-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.
