How to Enable the Console & Use Spawn Commands
Before you can use the ID codes listed below, you must understand the correct syntax for the developer console in Nova Roma.
- Open the Console: While in-game, press the Tilde key (~) or Backtick (`).
- The Command Syntax: Because Nova Roma is an Unreal Engine 5 game, the standard format requires the command action, the resource ID, and the quantity.
- Format:
give_resource [Item ID] [Quantity] - Example: To spawn 500 Marble, you would type
give_resource ID_Resource_Marble 500and press Enter.
Expert Warning: “Typing
ID_Resource_Marbleis fine if you only need a quick fix. But Nova Roma is a city-builder; you’re often managing dozens of different resource types across multiple warehouses.”
“Manually typing case-sensitive, long strings in an Unreal Engine console—which is notorious for being ‘finned’ in shipping builds—is a recipe for a crash. One typo can cause a memory heap error. I personally stopped using the raw console weeks ago. Seeing the resource icon in a UI and just clicking ‘Add 1000’ is the only way to play without risking your 60-hour Roman save file.”
The Easy Way: XMODhub Visual Spawner (No Typing Required)
Stop Alt-Tabbing to check spreadsheets. Typing long, underscores-heavy ID codes breaks your immersion. The XMODhub PC Client includes a dedicated Visual Item Spawner specifically built for the Nova Roma Unreal Engine 5 architecture.

- Instant Search: Just type “Iron” in the overlay search bar and click the one you want.
- Batch Spawning: Fill your entire Granary with every food type with one button press.
- Auto-Updated Lists: When Lionheart Games adds new DLC resources, XMODhub updates its database automatically via the cloud. You never have to hunt for new hex IDs again.

Troubleshooting: Why Are My Commands Failing?
If you are typing the IDs correctly but the game is throwing errors, check these common Nova Roma issues:
- “Command not found”: Developers often “compile out” the console in the final Shipping build of Unreal Engine 5. If
~does nothing, the console is hard-locked. You must use the XMODhub external injector to re-enable it. - “Inventory Full”: You cannot spawn resources if your Granaries or Warehouses are at 100% capacity. Spawn 1 unit first to test.
- Case Sensitivity: Unlike older engines, UE5 internal naming (like
ID_Resource_Marble) is often strictly case-sensitive. Ensure your caps lock is off.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are Nova Roma Item IDs the same on Steam and Game Pass?
A: Yes. The internal resource names (like ID_Resource_Wood) are identical across both platforms because they use the same core engine data. However, accessing the console on Game Pass is significantly harder due to folder encryption.
Q: Can I spawn items while playing in Multiplayer or Co-Op?
A: No. These console commands are executed client-side and only function in Single-Player. Attempting to force spawn resources in a multiplayer session will result in a desync or a permanent anti-cheat ban.
Q: How do I find the save file location to back up my city before cheating?
A: Your Nova Roma save files are located at: %LOCALAPPDATA%\NovaRoma\Saved\SaveGames\. We strongly recommend backing this up before using any raw console commands.
