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.

Notes

  • In non-Steam/dev builds, pressing F5 triggers both F5 actions above: it toggles asset diagnostics logging and also sends the unlock-all-buildings cheat.
  • The F2 refill shortcut and the cheat version of F5 are developer-only helpers and are not available in the public Steam build.
  • The public/Steam build still includes F1, F3, F4, and the asset-diagnostics version of F5.
