Updated
The only version you can acquire for free is version UUU v3.0.21. Not all console commands work on this version as the developer is no longer supporting this free version.
This means a lot of the found console commands may or may not work properly. And anything added in updates will be trial and error.
If you'd like to run around Grounded without getting demolished by vicious bugs, then there are some cheats and commands you can use to alleviate this issue. Unfortunately, these only work for the PC, so if you're on Xbox, you'll have to hope they add in some cheats in the future.
To use cheats in Grounded, you will have to download a third party program. This is called Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker, and it's pretty well-known and has been used for a variety of games.
As with any program, you download and use it at your own risk!
Once you have it downloaded and installed you can open up Grounded. Go to the UUU program and in the General tab, you need to select a process to inject the DLL into. If you're using the Xbox Gamepass launcher, you will find it named as Maine in the options. It will likely be the top process, but the name could be different if you're using Steam.
Select the correct process and then hit the Inject DLL option. You will see some popup windows in Grounded that show that the program has been started and is working. You might want to start a new world if you're using cheats so you don't mess up your old one, but it's up to you.
Now that you know this is working and are in a game. Hit the ~ key on the top left of your keyboard underneath Escape. This will open up the console at the bottom of the screen and look like this:
You can now type in commands in this to make changes to the game. Here's a list of cheats and commands that you can use:
A command has been found by commenter VooDooShamane to open up what appears to be a test world with a lot of the upcoming additions to the game coming up. You need to enter this command before you enter into a game save. You won't be able to save, but you can check out some of the awesome new stuff!
- open AR_00_World_Dev - Opens the developer's world, where a bunch of new things are available.
