Conan Exiles console commands guide: how to enable admin mode and use the best commands

Conan Exiles remains popular. When it first came out, everybody thought the novelty of being able to change the size of your manhood or your boobs was all that it had, but it turns out the genetalia was just masking one of the best survival games of all time.

Conan: Exiles is tough though, and it can be easy to get bogged down somwehere you don’t want to be. Fortunately, as with many games of this ilk, the console is but a tilde away.

What are console commands?

Console commands in Conan Exiles give you direct control over your game world. They allow you to enable admin tools, teleport around the map, spawn items instantly, and manage players or server settings without digging through menus.

For solo players, these commands are useful for testing builds, fixing bugs, or experimenting with gear. For server admins, they are essential tools for moderating players, resolving issues, and keeping a world running smoothly.

The Escapist’s handy guide explains how to enable admin mode, how to open the console, and which commands are the most useful for everyday gameplay and server management.

The Escapist recaps

• Console commands allow you to control admin tools in Conan Exiles.
• You must enable admin mode before most commands will work.
• Console commands are most commonly used to teleport, spawn items, and manage players.
• Some commands can permanently change or delete structures, so they should be used with caution.

How do console commands work in Conan Exiles?

Console commands in Conan Exiles are text-based instructions that let you control admin features that you wouldn’t be able to otherwise. After you enable admin mode, you can type commands to teleport across the map, spawn items, inspect server settings, or manage players.

They are especially useful when testing game mechanics, fixing bugs, or running a private server, or if you’ve just got a penchant for playing God. 

How to enable admin mode in Conan Exiles

Before you can use most console commands, you need to enable admin mode.

On private or dedicated servers, this requires the admin password. Once you enter the password, the game grants you administrator access, which unlocks console commands and the admin panel.

In single-player worlds, enabling admin tools is usually much easier because you already control the world settings.

If you try to run commands without admin access, they simply will not work. This is the most common issue players run into when they first try to use console commands.

How to open the console

After enabling admin mode, you can open the command console and begin typing commands.

On PC, you typically open the console with the tilde key (~). Once the console appears, you can type commands beginning with a forward slash, such as:

/God

/Teleport

Some setups may use alternate key bindings, but the process remains the same. Open the console, type the command, and press Enter.

Admin Panel vs console commands

Conan Exiles provides two ways to use admin tools: the Admin Panel and the console command system.

The Admin Panel is a menu interface that lets you toggle options like god mode or flying. It is simple and easy to use, especially if you can’t remember a list of commands.

Console commands are more flexible. They allow you to teleport to precise coordinates, manage players directly, spawn items, and change server settings. Many advanced tools are only available through commands rather than the panel.

In practice, most admins use both systems depending on the situation.

Best console commands in Conan Exiles

While there are dozens of commands available, a few are especially useful.

Here are some of the most common and potentially helpful console commands for players: 

These commands cover most everyday needs, including movement, item spawning, and server management.

Teleport commands and when to use them

Teleport commands make it much easier to move around the vast world in Conan Exiles.

The basic /Teleport command instantly moves you to the location you are pointing at. This is useful for exploring areas quickly or inspecting a base from a distance.

More advanced teleport commands include:

• /TeleportPlayer X Y Z — Moves a player to exact map coordinates.
• /TeleportToPlayer [Name] — Moves you to another player’s location.
• /SummonPlayer [Name] — Brings a player to your location.

These commands are especially helpful for server admins who need to respond to player issues or investigate reports.

Spawn item commands

Spawning items is one of the most powerful features of console commands.

The command works like this:

/SpawnItem [ItemID] [Quantity]

You enter the internal item ID along with the amount you want to create. The items then appear directly in your inventory.

Players often use this command to test equipment, preview gear, or replace items that were lost due to bugs.

However, spawning items can also remove the survival progression that makes Conan Exiles rewarding. If you rely on it too often, the game can quickly lose its sense of challenge.

Player and follower commands

Console commands also allow you to control players and followers.

For example, you can instantly move players, inspect who is online, or manage followers during testing.

These commands are particularly useful when you are experimenting with combat setups or troubleshooting follower behavior in a private world.

Server admins can also use player commands to monitor activity or respond to problems quickly.

Server management commands

If you run a dedicated server, console commands become essential tools.

Commands like:

/GetServerHealth

/GetAllServerSettings

allow you to inspect server performance and view current configuration settings.

You can use the following to adjust server settings directly, while the server is running:

/SetServerSetting [SettingName] [Value]

This makes it easier to manage gameplay rules without restarting the server or editing configuration files manually.

Safe commands vs risky commands

Some console commands are risk-free, completely safe, and mostly affect your character. Others can permanently change the game world.

Safe commands generally include things like:

• God mode
• Flying
• Teleportation
• Player inspection

Riskier commands include tools that destroy structures or deal vast amounts of damage. These can permanently alter a server or delete buildings if used incorrectly.

We would urge caution and suggest you double-check commands before pressing Enter.

Common mistakes when using console commands

The most common mistake is forgetting to enable admin mode. Without admin privileges, your command-entering exploits will simply fail.

Another issue is command syntax. Console commands must be typed correctly, including capitalization and parameters. So good luck, sausage fingers.

Finally, players sometimes use powerful commands without considering the consequences. Spawning too many items or destroying structures can quickly disrupt the balance of a world.

Using commands carefully helps avoid these problems.

Strategy tips

The best way to use console commands is to treat them as tools rather than shortcuts.

If you want to experiment with builds or test equipment, create a separate world where commands are allowed. This lets you experiment freely without affecting your main save.

It also helps to memorize a few core commands instead of trying to remember everything. Most players only need a handful of commands for teleporting, spawning items, and enabling admin mode.

Finally, avoid using destructive commands unless they are absolutely necessary. Many issues can be solved with teleportation or player management tools instead.
