This guide provides a clear and concise method for spawning enemies in Empyrion - Galactic Survival using the console commands. This is primarily useful for testing purposes, building custom scenarios, or simply adding a bit more challenge to your gameplay. Please note: Using these commands can significantly alter the intended gameplay experience and may impact your save file. Use with caution.

Accessing the Console

First, you need to access the in-game console. This is done differently depending on your platform:

• PC: Press the tilde key (~) on your keyboard.
• Xbox: This feature isn't directly available on consoles.
• PlayStation: Similar to Xbox, console commands are not directly supported.

If you're on a console, you'll need to explore alternative modding options or stick to the standard gameplay.

Spawning Enemies: The Commands

Once the console is open, you can use the following command structure to spawn enemies:

/spawn <EnemyName> <Quantity>

Where:

• <EnemyName> is the specific name of the enemy you want to spawn. These names are case-sensitive and often directly correspond to their in-game designation (e.g., "AlienDrone," "BA_Drone"). You'll need to find the correct name through experimentation or community resources. Incorrect names will result in a failure to spawn.
• <Quantity> specifies how many of that enemy type you want to spawn.

Example: To spawn five Alien Drones, you would enter: /spawn AlienDrone 5

The enemies will appear at your current location. Be mindful of your surroundings! Spawning a large number of powerful enemies close to your base could quickly overwhelm you.

Finding Enemy Names

Determining the correct in-game name for each enemy can be tricky. There isn't a readily available, complete list within the game. The best approach is a combination of:

• Experimentation: Try variations of names based on what you see in-game. The console will usually provide feedback if the name is incorrect.
• Community Forums and Wikis: Check online Empyrion communities and wikis. Players frequently share lists of enemy names and commands.

Important Considerations

• Save Game Integrity: Excessive use of console commands, especially those affecting enemy spawns, could lead to instability or corruption of your save file. Always back up your saves before experimenting with these commands.
• Game Balance: Altering the intended enemy distribution fundamentally alters the game’s difficulty and pacing. This might significantly reduce the challenge or make progression too easy.
• Multiplayer Implications: Use of console commands on multiplayer servers may be restricted or prohibited. Always check with the server administrator before using these commands in a multiplayer context.

This guide provides a foundation for using console commands to spawn enemies in Empyrion. Remember to proceed with caution and always back up your game saves. Happy gaming!
