Spawn Creature (Debug)
grounded — Console Commands
Spawns a specified creature or enemy at your current location. Primarily for testing combat or observing AI behavior.
Syntax
spawncreature <creatureID> <quantity>Example
spawncreature WolfSpider 1💡 Notes
Creature IDs are internal names (e.g., 'WolfSpider', 'Ladybug', 'Ant'). Spawned creatures may be hostile and can attack immediately. Not available on all platforms. [verify] for creature ID list.
🎯 Tips & Tricks
Safe testing
Use 'god' mode before spawning aggressive creatures to avoid instant death.
Despawn cleanup
Reloading the area or restarting the game will clear spawned creatures.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Creature doesn't appear
Check the creature ID spelling; some creatures have variants (e.g., 'WolfSpider' vs 'WolfSpider_Infected').
Game crashes on spawn
Reduce the quantity to 1 and ensure you have enough memory; spawning dozens at once can crash.
