Do the " Set Game Preferences, Set Game Stats" commands not work in a dedicated server through a server hosting site? setting game preferences or game stats for "CraftTimer" doesn't work.

Are the System Commands considered "cheating" by EAC? As in will using them get me banned from EAC servers?
Uncle Mim 17 Jul, 2021 @ 3:49am 
when using the spawnself command the listings for item names can be found in the 7 days to die folder under config and select the items file (best opened with notepad)

some basics would be

giveself resourcescrapironbundle
giveself toolforgecrucible
giveself vehicleMotorcycleChassis

hoppe this helps

Frankly, this list is probably out of date now. It was not mine to begin with, but I shared it here in the event it was more convenient for some people. Your best bet is to check the 7DtD Forums to see if an updated list has been posted there.
