How item codes work
In the current Early Access build, item spawning is tied to an unofficial debug-console setup rather than a built-in public option. Treat this as a PC mod/testing page, not a normal gameplay feature. After opening the console, use the item command with an internal code and an amount.
- Use item titanium 10 to add 10 titanium.
- Use item quartz 5 to add 5 quartz.
- If a display name fails, try the internal ID from the table instead.
- Back up important saves before testing commands or mods.
Use codes carefully
Item codes are most useful for testing routes, replacing a bugged item, or checking recipe dependencies. Avoid using them on a main save unless you are comfortable with Early Access and mod-related risk.
- Treat provisional item IDs as unstable until a patch confirms them.
- Check whether the item belongs in inventory before using item commands.
- Restart and recheck after hotfixes because commands can change quickly.
Tested status
These IDs are listed as reported launch-build commands and are not independently tested by this site. Use a backup save, expect hotfix changes, and do not assume Xbox or unmodded PC support.
- Platform: PC only unless official console support changes later.
- Build context: Early Access launch window, last reviewed May 18, 2026.
- Confidence: common material IDs are higher confidence than advanced or unused-looking IDs.
- Risk: commands and IDs can change after hotfixes.
What to check after patches
Review the command format, changed item IDs, and any official console support after each major Subnautica 2 update. Item names and debug behavior are not guaranteed to stay fixed.

Item Codes FAQ
Do Subnautica 2 item codes work without mods?
Not as a stable official feature in the current Early Access build. Current public guidance uses a mod-enabled debug console on PC, so availability can vary by platform and patch.
Why is the sulphur item code spelled sulfur?
The internal item ID uses sulfur. The guide keeps both spellings visible so players searching with either version can still find the right code.
Should I use item codes in my main save?
Use a backup or test save first. Early Access commands, unofficial console access, and provisional item IDs can change after updates.
