Take full control of your HumanitZ server by mastering admin access and console commands. Whether you need to manage players, spawn items, moderate behavior, or troubleshoot issues, this step-by-step guide covers everything you need to run a smooth and enjoyable server.
To use console commands in HumanitZ, open the in-game chat by pressing Enter and type your command starting with the / symbol. Commands that do not affect game balance can be used by any player, while admin-only commands require elevated privileges first.
On a dedicated server, you must grant yourself admin access before using restricted commands. Type /AdminAccess [YourPassword] in the chat — your admin password is defined in your server’s GameServerSettings.ini configuration file. In single-player or if you are the multiplayer host, admin access is granted automatically without needing this command.
Once you have admin access, you unlock a powerful set of server management commands. Use /Shutdown [SECONDS] to safely shut down and save the server with a countdown notification to all players — for example, /Shutdown 60 triggers a 1-minute warning. Use /SaveGame to force an instant world save at any time.
Spawn items, vehicles, and companions directly into the game world using admin commands. Use /Spawn item_[Name] to spawn any item (e.g., /Spawn item_Apple), /spawn car_[Name] to spawn a vehicle (e.g., /spawn car_suv), and /spawn Dog to add a canine companion to your adventure. Available vehicle types include car_rv, car_jeep, car_pickup, car_truck, car_van, and many more.
Additional admin commands give you fine-tuned control over gameplay. /SuperAdmin toggles an invisible fly mode so you can patrol your server unseen. /god enables invincibility (god mode) for your character. /exp [Amount] grants experience points instantly — for example, /exp 500 adds 500 XP. /ExecCmd [command] lets you execute Unreal Engine-level commands such as /ExecCmd t.maxfps 144.
Manage player access and server security with dedicated admin tools. Use /admintag to display an [Admin] label next to your name in chat. Banned players are stored in the F_BannedPlayers.txt file — you can ban players in-game with admin access and they will be added to this list automatically. If your server uses whitelist mode (OnlyAllowedPlayers=1), add Steam IDs to F_MVPAccess.txt, one per line.
If you or a player get stuck, use /unstuck to resolve interaction issues or /unstuckgeo to force-escape from geometry. Manage your dog companion with /DogSetName [Name] to give it a custom name and /TPDog to teleport it to your location. Remember: all HumanitZ console commands are case-sensitive, and admin commands always require either a valid admin password or host-level permissions.
