Pathologic 3 Console Commands (2026): Cheat Codes & Item IDs List

Mastering Pathologic 3 is designed to be an ordeal. The game actively fights the player with punishing mechanics—infection spreads rapidly, hunger is constant, and time is never on your side.

Whether you are stuck in a “death loop” due to resource mismanagement or simply want to explore the Town without the pressure of the ticking clock, using Pathologic 3 console commands is a common way to survive the narrative.

However, accessing the developer debug menu is not straightforward. Ice-Pick Lodge notoriously obscures these tools to preserve the intended difficulty.

Below is the technical guide on how to force the console open, the known command list, and the safer alternative – XMODhub, to modify the game without corrupting your save data.

Editor’s Note: Can You Cheat in Pathologic 3?

How to Enable the Console in Pathologic 3

To access the debug menu, standard hotkeys may be disabled by default. You must follow these steps to enable the input method.

Method A: Standard Launch Options

1. Cliccare con il tasto destro del mouse Pathologic 3 in your Steam Library and select Proprietà.
2. Passare alla sezione Generale scheda.
3. Nel Opzioni di lancio field, type: -console -dev_mode
4. Launch the game and press the Tilde key (~) o Ctrl + Shift + F4.

Method B: The Config File Fix (If Method A Fails)

If the console remains locked, you must edit the game’s boot configuration:

1. Navigate to your installation folder (e.g., Steam\steamapps\common\Pathologic 3).
2. Open the folder named Pathologic3_Data (or similar).
3. Find the file named boot.config.

Open it with Notepad and add the following line to the bottom:

1. player-connection-debug=1
2. Save the file and restart the game.

Elenco dei comandi essenziali della console

Once the command line is active, use the following codes. Note that commands are often case-sensitive.

• Dio o god_mode 1 — Grants invincibility against physical damage (knives, punches). Nota: This does not always prevent death by Infection.
• set_hunger [0-100] — Sets your hunger level. Use 0 to remove hunger completely.
• set_immunity [100] — Maximizes your immunity stat, preventing infection risks in plague districts.
• set_exhaustion [0] — Removes the need for sleep.
• add_money [amount] — Adds money to your inventory.
• fly o noclip — Allows movement through walls (useful for getting unstuck from geometry).

• killall — Eliminates all loaded hostile NPCs in the immediate vicinity.
• ai_ignore_player — Enemies will stop attacking you.
• show_debug_info — Reveals hidden stats about NPC health and pathfinding.

Advanced: Config File Tweaks & FPS Unlock

Console commands are not the only way to improve your experience. Many players suffer from performance issues or narrow Field of View (FOV).

How to Unlock FPS:

Pathologic games are often capped at 60 FPS. To unlock this:

1. Andare a C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\LocalLow\Ice-Pick Lodge\Pathologic 3\.
2. Aperto Settings.xml.
3. Locate <VSync>1</VSync> and change it to <VSync>0</VSync>.
4. Locate <MaxFPS>60</MaxFPS> and change it to <MaxFPS>144 (or your monitor’s refresh rate).

Pathologic 3 Item IDs List

Per utilizzare la funzione dare [ID] command, you need the specific internal string names.

Medicine (Crucial for Survival):

• ID_Medicine_Shmowder (Instant cure, high toxicity damage)
• ID_Medicine_Panacea (The miracle cure)

Food & Resources:

Il problema: perché i comandi della console disattivano gli obiettivi

Using the developer console is treated as “modifying the game state” by Steam and console platforms.

1. Blocco dei risultati: Entering commands like Dio will flag your save file as “Cheated,” permanently disabling achievements such as “Dream of the Hive” or “No Deaths.”
2. Save Corruption: Pathologic’s save system is tied to specific time-states. Spawning quest items early can break the logic chain, causing main quests to disappear.
3. Disagio: You must re-enter cheats every time you load a save or enter a new district.

L'alternativa migliore: Allenatore XMODhub

FAQ

Q: Can I use console commands to skip time in Pathologic 3?

A: Yes, you can use set_time, but we strongly advise against it. Skipping time often bypasses essential conversation triggers, which can result in the death of key NPCs (Bound). It is safer to use the XMODhub “Speed Hack” to move faster rather than skipping the clock.

Q: Why is my console not opening despite following the guide?

A: If the Tilde key does not work, check your keyboard language settings. Alternatively, the game version may have patched out the console access. In this case, the XMODhub Trainer is the only working method.

Q: Do these cheats work on the console version (PS5/Xbox)?

A: No, console commands are restricted to the PC version. Console players cannot access the debug menu.
