A Subsistence admin logs in with the server's admin password. Kick and ban players from the '''Server Stats''' panel, and type commands in the console, which opens with the <code>=</code> key.

== How to become an admin on a Subsistence server ==

=== Set your admin password ===

# Sign in to the [https://www.survivalservers.com/sspanel/ Command Center] and click your server's name.
# Under '''MODIFY GAME SERVER SETTINGS''', type a password in '''Admin Pass'''. Use letters and numbers only, and share it only with people you trust as admins.
#:[[File:subsistence-panel-settings-admin-pass-2026-11.png|thumb|none|720px|alt=Subsistence settings in the Command Center with Server Title, Hosted By, Lock Password and the Admin Pass field outlined in gold.|The admin password is Admin Pass on your server's page.]]
# Click '''Save Settings & Restart''' in the bar at the bottom of the window. The new password works once the server has started.

=== Log in as admin on a server with a Lock Password ===

Join your server from the in-game server list. When the game asks for the server's password, type your '''Admin Pass''' instead of the Lock Password. If you are already on the server, leave and join again.

=== Log in as admin on a server with no Lock Password ===

A server with no Lock Password doesn't ask for a password when you join. Log in from the console instead:

# On your server's page, click the '''i''' next to '''ADDRESS'''. Note the IP address and the '''Game Port'''.
# In Subsistence, press <code>=</code> on the main menu to open the console.
# Type this line and press '''Enter''':
<pre>start <IP>:<Port>?password=<Pass></pre>
<code><IP></code> and <code><Port></code> are the IP address and Game Port from the first step, and <code><Pass></code> is your Admin Pass. Use the Game Port: the port shown after the address is a different one.

== Kick, ban and teleport with Server Stats ==

While you are logged in as admin, open '''Server Stats''' with the button under your character's clothing panel.

* Click a player to get the '''Kick''' and '''Ban''' buttons on the right.
* The same panel has a button to teleport to that player. You arrive in free-camera mode, and the other players don't see you.
* The '''Banned''' tab above the player list shows every banned player. Unban them from there.

A ban covers all five save profiles on your server.

== How to use the console ==

Press <code>=</code> to open the console, type a command and press '''Enter'''. Type <code>help</code> to list every command the game has.

=== Player commands ===

* <code>ListPlayers</code> lists the players on the server.
* <code>BanPlayerBySteamId <SteamID></code> bans a player by their Steam ID: type the command, a space and the 17-digit number that starts with <code>7656119</code>.

=== Base commands ===

* <code>ListBases</code> lists every base on the server with its ID.
* <code>TeleportToBase <baseID></code> takes you to a base. Example: <code>TeleportToBase 99</code>.
* <code>DeleteBase <baseID></code> deletes a whole base. Example: <code>DeleteBase 99</code>.

'''Warning:''' <code>DeleteBase</code> removes the base for good. Run <code>ListBases</code> first and check the ID.

=== Camera command ===

* <code>FreeCam</code> detaches your camera so you can fly around the server. The mouse wheel changes its speed, and '''Esc''' ends it.

== How to delete a single buildable ==

# In the game's control settings, bind a key to '''Delete Buildable'''.
# Log in as admin, look at the buildable and press that key.

It works in FreeCam too. It doesn't remove buildables that hunters have placed.

== Frequently asked questions ==

=== Why can't I log in as admin on my Subsistence server? ===
Your server has no Lock Password, so the game never asks for one: log in with the console command on this page. Or the server hasn't restarted since you changed '''Admin Pass''': click '''Save Settings & Restart''' and join again.

=== How do I unban a player? ===
Open '''Server Stats''', click the '''Banned''' tab above the player list and unban them there.

=== How do I remove an abandoned base? ===
Type <code>ListBases</code>, find the base's ID, then type <code>DeleteBase</code> with that ID. To clear old bases on their own, set <code>NumPlayerOfflineHoursBeforeBaseDecay</code>: see [[Subsistence Server Configuration#Clear out abandoned bases|clear out abandoned bases]].
