Timberborn Cheats and Dev Console Guide

If you're looking for Timberborn cheats, there's good news: an in-game development console can let you take some shortcuts in this survival city builder game.

How the Timberborn Dev Console Works

The Timberborn dev console can be brought up by pressing Shift + Alt + Z as detailed on Reddit. This gives you some options that you normally wouldn't have in the game. Additionally, you can view stats in the debug menu by pressing Shift + Alt + X.

There are even some basic map editor tools in the mix, although I can't seem to find a way to place or remove terrain easily. Unfortunately, it's not quite all-powerful and there are some things you can't do.
