Eco Admin Commands & /serverui Reference
Complete admin command reference for Eco — meteor control, teleport, give items, manage admins, and the /serverui in-game settings panel.
Once you're an admin on an Eco server (see Adding Admins), all admin actions happen through chat slash commands or the in-game /serverui panel. This page covers the verified day-to-day commands.
Open the Chat
Press Enter to open chat. Type a slash command and press Enter again. Commands are case-insensitive.
Meteor Control
The most-used admin commands. The meteor settings file (Disasters.eco) only applies to new worlds — for live worlds, use these:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/meteor destroy | Permanently remove the meteor from this world |
/meteor addhours <n> | Add n hours to the impact timer (negative to bring it closer) |
/meteor addhours 240 | Example: push impact 10 in-game days further out |
See Meteor & Disasters for the full meteor workflow.
Teleport
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/teleport <x>,<y>,<z> | Teleport to absolute coordinates |
/tp <x>,<z> | Short form — teleport to X,Z (Y auto-resolves to surface) |
/teleportplayer <player> | Teleport to another player by name |
Coordinates are world units. Use /serverui → Map to find a spot to teleport to.
Give Items
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/give <itemname>,<amount> | Give yourself items |
/give Lumber,10 | Example: 10 lumber |
/give StoneBlock,64 | Example: 64 stone blocks |
Item names are PascalCase (Lumber, StoneBlock, IronOre). The full list lives in the Eco wiki.
Manage Admins
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/admin <player> | Grant admin to a connected player |
/manage removeadmin <player> | Remove admin status |
Granting admin in-game is faster than editing Users.eco and restarting.
/serverui — The In-Game Settings Panel
This is the killer command most Eco admins don't know about:
/serveruiIt opens an in-game UI exposing almost every config file for live editing — without stopping the server or touching files. From here you can:
- Edit
Difficulty.eco(skill costs, XP rates) - Adjust
Network.eco(server name, description) - Configure
Disasters.ecofor new worlds - Inspect the world map and player list
- View live ecosystem stats
Most changes apply immediately. World generation settings still need a wipe regardless.
World & Time
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/serverui | Open the admin panel (covers everything below) |
/setdaytime <hour> | Set in-game time of day |
The chat help (/help) lists every command available on your specific server version — Eco's command set evolves with each release.

Push back the meteor by 5 days

Limitations
- No traditional RCON — Eco does have an RCON-like remote interface but it's API-based, not the standard Source RCON protocol. Most third-party RCON tools don't work.
- No script access — admin commands are limited to what's in
/help. Eco doesn't expose a console REPL like Don't Starve Together. - Per-server command sets — installed mods can add their own commands. Run
/helpon your specific server to see the full list.
