Console Commands
You can run commands on your server without being in-game using the Console tab on the manage page. This page covers the most useful commands for day-to-day administration.
Slash prefix rules:
In the server Console tab - type commands without a leading slash.
In in-game chat (press Enter) - type commands with a leading /.

Notes
- Usernames are case-sensitive and match the player's in-game account name (not their Steam display name).
- The
players command is useful if you're unsure of the exact username spelling.
- Commands that require a physical location (alarm, thunder, gunshot, addzombies) only work when typed in-game chat, not from the Console tab.
- Always use Stop (or the
quit command) rather than Kill for a clean shutdown - Kill is a forced termination and may lose recent world saves.
