Anno 2205 Console Commands May 2026

| Command | Effect | |---------|--------| | addcredits [amount] | Adds the specified number of credits (e.g., addcredits 1000000). | | addresources [resourceID] [amount] | Adds a specific resource to your global stock. Common IDs: 0 (Building Modules), 1 (Quantum Computers), 2 (Nuclear Fuel), 3 (Robots), 4 (Life Support). | | addallresources [amount] | Adds the same amount of every raw and processed resource. |

For those uncomfortable with manually scanning memory addresses, pre-made Trainers and Cheat Tables are available on sites like Nexus Mods or dedicated trainer websites (e.g., WeMod, CheatHappens).

These tools essentially replicate console commands by binding specific cheats to hotkeys. Common features in Anno 2205 trainers include:

| Command | Effect | |---------|--------| | completecurrentquest | Marks the active story or side quest as completed, granting rewards immediately. | | setsectorlevel [level] | Sets the development level of the current temperate or arctic sector (0-5). |

| Command | Effect | |---------|--------| | add_resources 5000 | Adds 5000 of all resources | | unlock_all | Unlocks all sectors, ships, and technologies | | spawn_ship “Warden” | Spawns a specific warship at cursor | | set_orbitalsatellites 100 | Instantly adds 100 orbital satellite capacity | | win_combat | Instantly win current tactical battle | | debug_log | Prints internal game state to console | anno 2205 console commands

These work only with the mod loader active. Modded console commands do not disable achievements in the vanilla game (since mods bypass the standard executable).

| Command | Effect | |---------|--------| | addpopulation [number] | Increases the total population of the current sector by the specified number (may bypass housing limits). | | maxhappiness | Sets the happiness level of all residences in the current sector to 100%. |

| Key | Function | |-----|----------| | Ctrl + Shift + F | Free-fly camera (no collision, fly anywhere) | | F9 | Toggle wireframe rendering | | F10 | Show bounding boxes of all objects | | F11 | Display memory and draw call stats |

Before you can type a single command, you need to force the game to give you access. You will need to edit a configuration file. | Command | Effect | |---------|--------| | addcredits

Step 1: Locate the engine.ini file.

Step 2: Open engine.ini with a text editor.

Step 3: Add the following lines. At the bottom of the file, paste these two lines:

<PreferLocalFiles>1</PreferLocalFiles>
<Debug>1</Debug>

It should look like this within the file structure: | Command | Effect | |---------|--------| | addpopulation

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Engine>
  <ForceOldDXGI>0</ForceOldDXGI>
  <RenderDevice>DX11</RenderDevice>
  <Debug>1</Debug>
  <PreferLocalFiles>1</PreferLocalFiles>
</Engine>

Step 4: Save and close the file.

Step 5: Launch the game.

Step 6: Summon the console.

Troubleshooting: If the console doesn't appear, try pressing Ctrl + Shift + F1 repeatedly. Some anti-virus software blocks debug hooks; temporarily disable it. If still nothing, verify that your engine.ini is saved as .ini and not .txt.
