Debugcommands

Based on game build 722832 | Last updated: 2026-04-22

Overview

debugcommands.lua provides an extensive collection of console command functions (prefixed with d_) that serve as development and debugging tools for Don't Starve Together. These commands cover entity spawning, world state manipulation, event testing, skin and clothing validation, scrapbook data generation, topology visualization, and system-specific debugging for features like fishing, farming, combat, and seasonal events. The file requires multiple external modules including prefab definitions, skill tree configurations, and screen interfaces to support its diverse functionality. These commands are primarily intended for development and testing purposes, allowing developers to quickly instantiate entities, modify world conditions, and verify game systems without manual gameplay.

Usage example

-- Debug functions are global console commands, available directly in debug context
-- No module import required - these are built-in debug utilities

-- Spawn a list of entities at console position
d_spawnlist({"spider", "beefalo"}, 5)

-- Test skin functionality on current player
d_skin_mode("ghost_skin")
d_clothing("hat_winterhat")

-- Generate scrapbook data for debugging
d_createscrapbookdata()

-- Visualize world topology and migration routes
d_drawworldtopology()
d_drawworldbirdmigration()

-- Manipulate world events
d_startmoonstorm()
d_halloween()
