About

The DebugStructures command activates a debug overlay that renders all structures with visual indicators, making them visible through terrain and other objects. This is useful when investigating build grief, locating hidden bases, or troubleshooting structure placement issues that players report.

Run it again to disable the overlay. The command works in single-player and multiplayer servers when executed from the console with cheat mode enabled.
