Editor’s View: The “Unity” Reality
“Players often ask me for the command to spawn ‘Fuel’. But in Roadside Research, the internal ID is actually something annoying like Item_Consumable_FuelCan_Lg.
If you try to type this into a generic console mod, you might crash the game because of case sensitivity. I personally switched to the XMODhub Visual Spawner. It scans the game’s asset list automatically, so I can just search for ‘Fuel’ and click ‘Add’ without worrying about the code.”
You are miles away from the lab, your rover is out of fuel, and you still haven’t found the rare “Alpha Artifact” needed to complete your grant proposal. Or maybe you just want to build the ultimate mobile laboratory without grinding for scrap metal.
In a Unity-based simulation like Roadside Research, “Item IDs” aren’t as simple as typing a code into a chat box. Since the developers disabled the debug console in the release build, knowing the Internal Object Names is the key to using external tools to spawn what you need. Below is the comprehensive list of internal IDs for the latest patch.

How to Enable Console & Use Commands
Before you try to copy-paste the IDs above, you need to know the reality of Roadside Research’s engine.
- Console Status: Disabled. You cannot press
~to open a command line in the standard Steam/Epic version. - The Workaround: These “Item IDs” are used by Save Editors, UnityExplorer, or Memory Trainers (like XMODhub).
- Command Logic: You cannot type
spawn [ID]. You must use a tool to “Inject” the item into your inventory array.
The Easy Way: XMODhub Visual Spawner
Stop guessing code names. Since the console is locked, manual entry is nearly impossible for most players. XMODhub includes a Visual Spawner specifically for Roadside Research.

Troubleshooting: Why Spawning Fails
- “Command not found”: You are likely trying to type in a chat box or non-existent console. Roadside Research requires external injection tools.
- “Item ID Invalid”: Unity is case-sensitive.
item_fuelis different fromItem_Fuel. Use the Visual Spawner to avoid typos. - “Inventory Full”: If you spawn items when your backpack is full, they may spawn under the map geometry and disappear. Always clear space first.
FAQ
Q: Can I use give_money commands?
A: No. There is no chat command for money. Use the XMODhub “Edit Funding” feature to change your bank balance safely.
Q: Will spawning artifacts break the story?
A: Generally, no. Spawning a quest artifact usually triggers the “Quest Complete” flag as soon as it enters your inventory. However, we recommend doing this only if you are stuck.
Q: How do I get infinite fuel?
A: Instead of spawning 100 fuel cans, use the XMODhub “Infinite Fuel” toggle. It freezes your fuel consumption value so you never need to refill.
Conclusion
Using Roadside Research Item IDs via a trainer is the most efficient way to manage your lab without the tedious gathering grind. Bookmark this page for the resource codes.
However, since the developer console is locked, manual entry is frustrating. Use the XMODhub Visual Spawner to curate your inventory visually and focus on the scientific discovery.
