- Epic Games Store copies KeenGamer's AppOptions.txt path uses a folder whose name ends in (Epic), so on an Epic copy look for that folder rather than the plain Sid Meier's Civilization VI one. KeenGamer: How to fully reveal a Civilization 6 map with the debug console
- FireTuner, Steam only CivFanatics says FireTuner ships in the Development Tools, a separate download that needs a legal Steam copy. It adds that a save FireTuner touches is flagged as such and never awards achievements. CivFanatics: Firaxis Live Tuner basic setup and use
- German and Finnish keyboards Commenters on the Steam guide say the ö key, right of L, opens the console on these layouts. One also warns that editing the Version line at the top of AppOptions.txt makes the game reset the file to defaults. Steam Community: Civ 6 Debug Menu, how to use and console commands
FAQ
How do you open the console in Civ 6?
Change EnableDebugMenu 0 to EnableDebugMenu 1 in AppOptions.txt, then press ~ in game to get the console bar at the top of the screen.
Is there a gold cheat in Civilization 6?
No. The debug console has no command for gold, faith or production. Only the map reveal works in a normal game.
Where is AppOptions.txt in Civilization 6?
In AppData\Local\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI on current builds, and in Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI on older ones.
How do you reveal the whole map in Civ 6?
Open the console with ~ and type Reveal All, then press Enter. Guides also list Explore All for the same reveal.
What is FireTuner in Civ 6?
It is the official debug tool from the Civilization VI Development Tools. Set EnableTuner 1 to let it connect; you work in its panels rather than typing commands.
Why does this page list so few Civ 6 commands?
The cited guides document only the map reveal and the two AppOptions.txt lines. The gold, faith and instant research buttons that circulate come from the Cheat Menu Panel mod on the Steam Workshop, which GameWatcher calls unreliable. FireTuner's panels, such as city.ltp in the game's Debug folder, are menus you click, not commands you type.
