Console

Console is a developer interface in Don't Starve. Players can open a console menu by pressing ~ (for Windows users) or § (for Mac Users). However, the feature must be enabled in the file below first:

Opening settings.ini, players should make the following changes:

[MISC] ENABLECONSOLE = true

Also, players may not install Mods which may conflict with the console opening button. Otherwise, players will fail to open console menu. If players find great difficulties in using Console tools, players may use Testing Tool Mod as an alternative.

Debug Spawn
DebugSpawn in the console is the mostly used by players. It can spawn unimplemented features like Unimplemented/Speculated Characters and Unimplemented/Speculated Items.

Players can also spawn other entities too. For example, if a player wants to spawn a Deerclops, he/she has to open the console and type DebugSpawn("deerclops").

Nevertheless, players are noticed that the entity name should follow the file name under. If players want to spawn a Treeguard, players should type DebugSpawn("leif") as the file name of Treeguard is leif.lua.
