SSUICLI Commands

What is SSUICLI?

SSUICLI (Stationeers Server UI Command-Line Interface) is the built-in runtime console.

It provides a command-line interface that runs alongside the web UI, allowing server administrators to perform common management tasks directly from the terminal without needing to access the web interface. The console is optional (can be disabled in config) and appears with a green prompt: SSUICLI ».

Example: Reloading the backend configuration from CLI

Key Features and Capabilities

• Interactive Control: Type commands in real-time while the server and web UI continue running.
• Server Management: Start/stop the dedicated game server, reload configuration, or restart the web backend.
• Updates & Maintenance: Check for StationeersServerUI updates, apply them, manually run SteamCMD, or delete the config for a fresh setup.
• Debugging & Support: Enable a temporary "support mode" for verbose logging, test localization, generate a support package (ZIP with logs, sanitized config, and system info), or print current config/build details.
• Convenience: Many commands have short aliases (e.g., start for startserver, u for update) for quick typing.
• Help System: Type help (or h) to list all available commands and their aliases.
