Hey @Rick0091, have you enabled debug keys in your user settings file?

You need to add the line: `"enable_debug_keys" : true,` to your user\_settings.json file which is located (by default if installed from Steam) in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth`.

Also, paging @8BitCrab or @Relyss, needs a category, gameplay…or support?

Is the enable\_debug\_keys line no longer necessary? I just removed it from my user\_settings and it still seems to work (at least in the develop version).

**edit:** also, to get a list of the commands just use the command `help`

i actually dont know any other then.

- `ib` : insta-build houses
- `im` : insta-mining

but when you use the `help` command (just type in `help` and then press enter) it lists all the commands, and gives you a brief description of what each one does.

sorry i cant be of more help 😕
