Seeds of Chaos: Full Console Commands Guide — Castle, Player & NPC Cheats
Looking to take full control of your realm in Seeds of Chaos? This dark fantasy strategy visual novel runs on the Ren'Py engine and includes a powerful built-in developer console. With the right commands, you can max out your castle's coffers, boost your hero's stats, manipulate NPC relationships, and even force-complete research. This guide covers every confirmed console command and explains exactly how to enable and use them.
How to Enable the Console in Seeds of Chaos
The developer console is disabled by default. Activating it requires a quick one-time edit to a game file.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to your Seeds of Chaos installation folder.
- Open the subfolder path: renpy > common.
- Locate the file named 00console.rpy and open it with any text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, or VS Code).
- Press Ctrl + F and search for the line: config.console = False
- Change the value to: config.console = True (make sure the T is capitalized).
- Save the file and close the editor.
- Launch the game and press Shift + O to open the console at any time.
Bonus Tip: For even more control, type config.developer = True into the console after enabling it. This unlocks additional in-game UI tools and debug features. Be careful, as some developer tools can break your save if used incorrectly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is the console not opening when I press Shift+O?
You must edit 00console.rpy and change config.console = False to True first. The console is disabled by default in public releases. Also make sure you saved the file after editing.
Are console commands case-sensitive?
Yes. Ren'Py runs on Python, which is strictly case-sensitive. avatar.gold = 100 will work, but Avatar.Gold = 100 will return an error. Always use lowercase for prefixes like avatar, castle, and alexi.
Can I break my save file with these commands?
Yes. Setting extreme values (such as castle.unrest = 999999) or forcing events out of sequence can corrupt story flags and soft-lock your progression. Always back up your save files before experimenting with console commands.
Do I need to enable the console every time I play?
No. Once you edit 00console.rpy and set config.console = True, the console remains accessible for every future launch until you change the file back.
What is the difference between castle.coffers and castle.treasury?
Both commands affect the same pool in most versions of the game. If one does not work, try the other. castle.coffers is the primary command used by the community.
How do I find an NPC's UID?
Use the config.developer = True command to enable developer UI tools. These tools display internal IDs for actors, events, and map resources directly in the interface.
Will using console commands disable achievements?
Seeds of Chaos does not feature external achievements or trophies. However, forcing events or skipping content may prevent internal progression trackers from firing correctly.
Are these cheats safe to use?
These are built-in Ren'Py developer commands. They do not require third-party trainers, mods, or external software. However, direct console manipulation carries a risk of save corruption if used improperly. Always keep a backup save.
Final Tips
Master Seeds of Chaos with these console command recommendations:
- Back up saves before cheating — copy your save folder before modifying any variables.
- Use avatar.exp = 99999 early to reach max level instantly, then distribute stat points normally.
- Set castle.supplies equal to castle.soldiers to prevent weekly supply drain.
- Keep castle.unrest low (under 50) to avoid rebellion events, even if you have max soldiers.
- Use heal_injuries() before major battles to remove all negative status effects.
- Enable config.developer = True only when you need to inspect UIDs, then reload without it to avoid accidental UI breaks.
