Subnautica: All Spawn IDs & What They Are For

Players cruising the vibrant and deadly alien ocean world in Subnautica can expect a ton of fascinating creatures, an interesting story, and, sometimes, even a few glitches. These unexpected bugs aren't very common, however, they do exist and can make gameplay anywhere from hilarious yet inconvenient to outright game-breaking.

Thankfully, there are a ton of console commands that one can use to rectify these issues. For many of these, it is useful to have a list of the Spawn IDs, as these are the strings of text that are tied to each and every item in the game, whether they are a resource, tool, or a piece of furniture.

Using Spawn IDs

After one has opened up the console command menu, there are a few ways that the player can use a Spawn ID depending on what it represents in the game. There is the "Item" command, which places the specified number of an item into the player's inventory; the "Spawn" command, which places an item in front of the player; and the "Unlock" command, where the game will unlock the specified blueprint in the player's database. Here are examples of how each should look when used properly in the console with the solar panel item as a placeholder:

Item command: item solarpanel
Spawn command: spawn solarpanel
Unlock command: unlock solarpanel
