Give Item Stack (/give)
factorio — Cheat Codes
Spawns a specified item into your inventory or at the cursor, useful for testing builds or skipping resource grinding.
Syntax

🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use with cursor
Place the item on your cursor before running /give to replace it, or use /give @c [item] [count] for cursor slot.
Check item IDs
Type /give and press Tab to autocomplete item names, or check the wiki for full list.
Bulk production
Give 1000s of items to test large builds without waiting for assemblers.
🔧 Troubleshooting

Ensure console is enabled in Settings > Interface > 'Show debug info' and press ` (tilde) to open console.
