Give Item (c)
factorio — Console Commands
Adds a specified item to your inventory instantly. Useful for testing builds or skipping resource grinding in sandbox mode.
Syntax
/c game.player.insert{name="ITEM_NAME", count=NUMBER}Example
/c game.player.insert{name="iron-plate", count=100}💡 Notes
Requires cheats enabled (use /cheat or launch with --cheat-mode). Item names use internal IDs (e.g., 'iron-plate', 'copper-ore'). [verify] for modded items.
🎯 Tips & Tricks
Insert items like 'blueprint' or 'rail' to quickly test large builds without waiting for production.
Type /c game.player.print(game.item_prototypes) to list all valid item IDs in your current modded game.
Counts above stack size (e.g., 500 iron-plate) will overflow into multiple stacks automatically.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Command does nothing
Ensure cheats are enabled by typing /cheat first, then re-run the command.
Invalid item name error
Use the exact internal name; check with the prototype list command or wiki for vanilla IDs.
