How to use console commands in Starfield
To access the Starfield console on your PC keyboard, simply press the tilde key (~). This will enable you to enter various commands. It's important to note that using most of these commands will disable achievements. Additionally, any modified values will be indicated by an "[M}" symbol next to your saves.Using the help command
Additionally, PC players have the option to locate the StarfieldConsoleHistory.log file by navigating to C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Starfield. This file keeps a record of all console commands used, even in the event of reverting to a clean save. To ensure a smooth experience, it is recommended to download an achievement enabler mod. One such mod is the Achievement Enabler created by user Brunph, which can be found on Nexus Mods.Furthermore, the most helpful Starfield console command is the help function: help <term/mechanic/item name> 4. For example, if you are searching for a specific NPC or perk ID, you can simply type "help Sarah 4" or "help Piloting 4" to view a list of related IDs. From there, you have the ability to input the appropriate function that modifies the desired value.

Companion affinity
Regarding recruitable companions in Starfield, there are several console commands that directly influence their affinity levels. It is important to focus on their affinity thresholds, as they trigger unique conversations at specific levels (e.g., 100, 200, 300, etc.). To manage this, follow these steps:When a companion is in front of you, open the console with the tilde key (~).
Click on a companion to see their reference ID.
Check the value by making the companion's reference ID visible and typing "getav com_affinity" to view the affinity value.
Set the value by typing "setav com_affinity
Set this one point below the next threshold. For example, the first unique conversation occurs at 100 affinity, so you should use: setav com_affinity 99. Afterwards, engage in an activity they enjoy or simply explore until the next conversation is triggered.
Before altering a companion's affinity value, make sure to take note of it.
