SSCLI commands

SSCLI (previously SSUICLI) is a small, lightweight runtime terminal that runs alongside the Web UI. It remains available while SSUI and Stationeers are operating and is useful over SSH, on headless hosts, or whenever opening a browser would be excessive. It is NOT available in the standard SSUI container.

The prompt appears as:

SSCLI »

Type help or h for the commands available in the running build. Developer commands are deliberately hidden from ordinary help output.

User commands

Command Aliases Description
help h Show available user commands, descriptions, and aliases.
startserver start Start Stationeers.
stopserver stop Stop Stationeers; save first.
update u Check for an SSUI update.
applyupdate au Apply an available SSUI update.
runsteamcmd steamcmd, stcmd Run SteamCMD to install/update the game server.
reloadconfig rlc, rc Reload the SSUI configuration.
reloadbackend rlb, rb, r Reload backend components.
restartbackend rsb Restart the SSUI backend flow.
supportmode sm Toggle detailed support logging.
supportpackage sp Create a sanitized support ZIP; support mode must be active.
exit e Stop the game server and exit SSUI.

downloadworkshopupdates (dwu) also exists for Workshop updates but is currently marked as a developer command in the command registry, so do not present it to ordinary users as a stable interface yet.

Support workflow

The sm and sp commands belong in SSCLI, not in the Stationeers console inside the Web UI.

Enter supportmode, reproduce the issue, enter supportpackage, then enter supportmode again.

The final supportmode disables the additional debug/file logging again. See Support Packages.

Developer commands

Current builds contain developer-only commands for configuration deletion, localization testing, build inspection, mod/workshop inspection, individual Workshop downloads, heap profiling, and Discord panel tests.

They are omitted from ordinary help output intentionally. Their behavior can change and some are destructive or create diagnostic files. Consult the current command registry in src/cli/commands.go when developing SSUI instead of treating this wiki page as a promise that those commands are stable.

Command input safety

SSCLI commands control the local SSUI process. The separate Web UI/Discord server-console input sends commands to Stationeers through SSCM. They are not interchangeable, even if both happen to be black boxes containing text.
