Casualties: Unknown includes an internal developer console, sandbox testing commands, internal physiological bodyfields, and Release 1.0 game modes (Standard Expedition, Endless Mode, and NPC Trader/Training Lab terminals). Use the interactive reference below to look up exact console syntax, parameter ranges, and internal biometric variables.
Filter the 20 verified technical entries by category (Console Command, Internal Bodyfield, or Game Mode / Terminal System) or search by command keyword to inspect syntax, default values, and Release 1.0 behavior notes.
| Command / Variable / Mode | Category | Syntax / Value Range | Default / Access Requirement | Verified Mechanical Effect & Release 1.0 Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
heal | Console Command | heal | Sandbox / Cheats Enabled | Fully restores player health, limbs, organs, and blood volume; in Release 1.0 also stops all active timed status durations |
spawn | Console Command | spawn <item_id> [amount] | Sandbox / Cheats Enabled | Spawns the specified item or entity ID at the player cursor/location (disables achievements if used outside Sandbox in 1.0) |
setbodyfield | Console Command | setbodyfield <field> <value> | Sandbox / Cheats Enabled | Directly sets physiological simulation variables on the player body (e.g., bloodVolume, bloodOxygen, brainHealth, pain, radiation) |
setskill / addxp | Console Command | setskill <str|res|int> <level> | Sandbox / Cheats Enabled | Sets Strength, Resilience, or Intelligence skill level directly for testing crafting thresholds and minigame scaling |
layer / nextlayer | Console Command | layer <1-11> | Sandbox / Cheats Enabled | Generates and transitions immediately to the target subterranean layer (1 Gravel Lands through 11 Crimson Ascent) |
god / noclip | Console Command | god | noclip | Sandbox / Cheats Enabled | Toggles invulnerability to limb/organ trauma or free-flight collision bypass through cave tiles |
timescale | Console Command | timescale <float> | 1.0 (Default) | Adjusts simulation speed; in Release 1.0 main menu fade-in is no longer affected by timescale |
bloodOxygen | setbodyfield Parameter | 0 to 100 | 100 | Player blood oxygen saturation; drops during choking, hemothorax, barotrauma, or opiate respiratory depression |
bloodVolume | setbodyfield Parameter | -100 to 200 | 100 | Total circulating blood volume; restored via Blood bag, Red blood, Saline, or Ringer's solution |
brainHealth | setbodyfield Parameter | 0 to 100 | 100 | Neurological integrity; in Release 1.0 severe brain damage effects trigger progressively as brainHealth drops |
heartRate / fibrillation | setbodyfield Parameter | 0 to 240 BPM | 70–80 BPM | Cardiac rhythm state; treated with AED, Manual defibrillator, Amiodarone, or Epinephrine |
bodyTemperature | setbodyfield Parameter | 20°C to 45°C | 37.0°C | Core body temperature; threatened by Layer 6 Frozen Chasm (-30.6°C) and Layer 9 Geothermal Vents (+40.8°C) |
radiation / radSickness | setbodyfield Parameter | 0 to 100 | 0 | Accumulated ionizing radiation; in Release 1.0 the radiation HUD icon fills up proportionally with rad sickness |
opiate / venom | setbodyfield Parameter | 0 to 100 | 0 | Dedicated opiate and venom meters added to the Health Panel in Release 1.0; countered by Naloxone and Antivenom |
Trader Reputation System | Trader Mechanic | -100 to +100 Reputation | +4 Initial Rep per INT level | Determines Trader hostility, shop prices, and willingness to haggle or share a resting spot; killing traders while mindwiped gives less sickness in 1.0 |
Trader Haggling & Barter | Trader Mechanic | Requires Can Read & Haggle (Experiment / Milky) | +2.5 INT XP per successful haggle | Negotiate better trade values using high INT and reputation; purchasing items grants +1 INT XP (Dune cannot haggle) |
Unchipped Mode | Run Mode / Modifier | Toggle before starting run | Required for Escape Ending | Disables neural chip HUD helpers and rad-line (1.0), reveals dislocations/fractures directly, and allows weapon use in the Surface Lab |
Endless Mode | Run Mode / Modifier | Toggle in Run Settings (Added in 1.0) | Loops Layer 10 -> Layer 1 | Picking up the Cargo in Layer 10 loops the survivor back to Layer 1 (Gravel Lands) while keeping inventory and skills; disables story endings |
Sandbox Mode (Earth Testing Facility) | Run Mode / Modifier | Accessible from Main Menu | Achievements Safe Zone | Allows free experimentation with all 300+ items, 78 fluids, surgeries, and console commands without disabling Steam achievements |
Layer Modifier Chance & Custom Sliders | Run Setting | 0.00 to 1.00 (2 decimal points of precision in 1.0) | 0.40 (40% Default) | Controls probability of rolling Layer Modifiers, loot abundance, danger scaling, and XP gain multiplier |
When cheats or sandbox debugging are active, commands like `heal`, `spawn <entity>`, `give <item>`, and `timescale <float>` allow rapid testing of medical procedures and item recipes. In Release 1.0, `heal` also clears active timed status durations and `timescale` no longer distorts main menu transitions.
Outpost Traders exchange high-value electronics, surplus syringes, and rare rations based on item trade value (u) and your survivor's communication capability. Training Lab terminals offer interactive courses that permanently boost STR, RES, or INT—accessible exclusively to Experiment (SAW-01).
Unlocked in Release 1.0, Endless Mode loops subterranean layer generation indefinitely with escalating hazard density, allowing veteran scavengers to test high-INT prosthetic limb builds, opiate/venom HUD management, and customized survival loadouts.
