Function Key Commands
Exofactory currently uses the following function-key shortcuts during active gameplay. These bindings only work while you are in a loaded game; they do not do anything from the main menu.
| Key | What it does | Public / Steam build? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
F1 |
Toggle the FPS and performance stats overlay on or off. | Yes | This is the [key_bindings].toggle_fps_stats binding in config.toml. Default: f1.
|
F2 |
Refill the active exoframe inventory with a developer cheat set of ores, ingots, and basic parts. | No | Only compiled in non-steamworks builds.
|
F3 |
Hide or show HUD elements. | Yes | Useful for cleaner screenshots or debugging UI visibility. |
F4 |
Toggle slowed camera movement. | Yes | Switches camera speed between normal speed and a 0.2x speed multiplier. |
F5 |
Toggle asset diagnostics logging. | Yes | Writes asset counts and the largest loaded images to the log every 5 seconds while enabled. |
F5 |
Unlock all buildings with a developer cheat. | No | Only compiled in non-steamworks builds.
