Command Console

Description

The Command Console is a tool primarily used for game development. However, it can be accessed by the player and used to input various "Console Commands" adding a wider range of functionality to the game. Using the commands the player is able to retrieve game information and statistics in addition, but not limited to altering the game's settings, spawning items and controlling time. Commands are also available which can be used to control guest players when the game is running in multi-player. This allows the host player to kick or even ban other players that are abusive or being disruptive. More command are available at 7DaysToDieCommands.com.
