Subsistence Admin Commands

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 = key.

How to become an admin on a Subsistence server

Set your admin password

1. Sign in to the Command Center and click your server's name.
2. 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.

   

   The admin password is Admin Pass on your server's page.

3. 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:

1. On your server's page, click the i next to ADDRESS. Note the IP address and the Game Port.
2. In Subsistence, press = on the main menu to open the console.
3. Type this line and press Enter:

start <IP>:<Port>?password=<Pass>

<IP> and <Port> are the IP address and Game Port from the first step, and <Pass> 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 = to open the console, type a command and press Enter. Type help to list every command the game has.

Player commands

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

Base commands

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

Warning: DeleteBase removes the base for good. Run ListBases first and check the ID.

Camera command

• FreeCam 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

1. In the game's control settings, bind a key to Delete Buildable.
2. 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 ListBases, find the base's ID, then type DeleteBase with that ID. To clear old bases on their own, set NumPlayerOfflineHoursBeforeBaseDecay: see clear out abandoned bases.
