Syntax

Console syntax

cheat DestroyFoliage <Radius> <Add to Inventory> <Tribe Share>

Arguments

radius type: number: The radius, specified in UE units, centered on your character to destroy all foliage within. According to user reports, radiuses over 1,000 may cause your save to be corrupted, make a save before using this command.
add to inventory type: boolean: Specify 1 here to add the resources from the destroyed foliage to your character's inventory. Note that if your inventory becomes full as a result of this, you may be disconnected from the game and may not be able to reconnect.
tribe share type: boolean: Specify 1 here to share the earned experience with your tribe.

About

DestroyFoliage removes trees, bushes, and other vegetation in a circular area centered on your position. The radius is measured in UE units; reports indicate that radiuses exceeding 1,000 units risk save file corruption, so always back up your save before testing large values.

Set the second argument to 1 to collect the wood, thatch, and other resources the foliage drops directly into your inventory. Be aware that a full inventory during resource collection may disconnect you from the server and prevent reconnection until inventory space is freed. Set the third argument to 1 to award the experience gain to your entire tribe instead of only yourself.

This command is useful for clearing terrain obstacles or harvesting large areas quickly, but the corruption risk at scale makes it a last-resort tool for troubleshooting map problems rather than routine maintenance.
