Moonbase Alpha is a realistic simulator by NASA, which demonstrates a worst-case scenario involving the titular base's systems going haywire...

...if it involved John Madden trying to order pizza, tenors singing about baby diarrhea, Atari renditions of Funky Town, and dance parties like no other.

Console Commands

A cheat console exists in the game's files, but it requires activation. It should be noted that cheat commands can only work on a server if everybody on it has the console enabled.

1. Open the MoonbaseAlphaGame folder (which can easily be done by opening "My Games" in My Documents), and then open Config.
2. Click on MoonBaseAlphaInput.ini.
3. Find TypeKey=None and replace it with TypeKey=Tab.
4. Save the file.

Now the command console is accessible by pressing the Tab key. Various cheats can be accessed through it, some of which have interesting effects;

Cheat	Effect
spawncar	Spawns a rover.
letmedrive	If two players are in a rover, their positions will swap.
danceparty	Replaces every player animation with dancing. Multiple animations can be selected.
sabotage	Destroys every coupler.
acutedisaster	Forces a coupler into a critical condition.
repaireverything	Fully repairs any damaged equipment.
summon MBA_pawn	Spawns an astronaut.

Test Map

Typing Open MBATransition into the aforementioned console will take you to this basic looking test map which, aside from what is seen in the image, has nothing else to it. Given that you are never supposed to be here in the first place, there is also no map.
