graphics.fov <60-90>

Sets the camera field of view in degrees, where higher values show more of the world at the cost of apparent zoom.

Copiesgraphics.fov 90

graphics.quality <0-5>

Applies an overall graphics quality preset, with 0 being the fastest and 5 the most detailed.

Copiesgraphics.quality 2

fps.limit <number>

Caps the client framerate to the given value, which smooths frame pacing and reduces heat on capable machines.

Copiesfps.limit 144

gc.buffer <64-4096>

Sets how many megabytes the garbage collector may buffer before running, where larger values trade RAM for fewer stutters.

Copiesgc.buffer 2048

streamermode <0|1>

Hides player names, Steam IDs and the server name so your stream does not leak identifying information.

Copiesstreamermode 1

bind <key> <command>

Binds a keyboard or mouse key to any console command or input action.

Copiesbind f1 consoletoggle

grass.displacement <true|false>

Copieswater.quality 0

audio.master <0.0-1.0>

Sets the master output volume for all game audio.

Copiesperf 2

ping

Prints your current round-trip latency to the server in milliseconds.
