Is there a dev menu in The Last Caretaker?

Not an official one. The only extra menu Channel37 documents is the experimental Early Access menu you switch on with the -ea launch option, and it holds three fixes, not cheats.

Is a dev menu mod safe for your save?

Channel37 says it supports modders but cannot help with mods or third-party tools during Early Access. Mods can crash the game and corrupt saves, especially when a roadmap update comes out, and some damage a save for good. Before you contact support, remove them, including the files they added in AppData, and verify the game files in Steam.

Troubleshooting

The Last Caretaker Console Commands: Is There a Cheat Menu?

Short answer: There are no official console commands or cheats. There is no official dev menu either: Channel37’s only hidden menu is the -ea launch option, which adds three fixes to the pause menu: Relocate boat, Relocate character and Unlock skill items. Cheat menus come from community mods that Channel37 does not support.

Console Commands and the -ea Menu

Does The Last Caretaker have console commands or cheat codes?

No. Channel37 gives no console-command or cheat list. The only extra menu it documents is an experimental Early Access menu that you switch on with the -ea launch option, and it holds three fixes, not cheats.

How do you open the -ea menu?

In Steam, right-click The Last Caretaker, open Properties and type -ea under Launch Options. After you start the game, the pause menu has a new Early Access option with Relocate boat, Relocate character and Unlock skill items. Back up your saves before you use it.

Relocate boat is for a boat that is stuck, sinking or flying away. Relocate character is for a Caretaker who is stuck or floating. Unlock skill items is for a skill you have unlocked that does not show up in the build menu.

Can you unlock all skills with a command?

Not officially. Unlock skill items in the -ea menu only restores items for skills you have already unlocked; it does not unlock new ones.

Cheat Mods and Your Save

Where is the save file, so you can back it up first?

On Windows, the save folder is %localAppData%\Voyage\Saved\SaveGames\<Steam ID>. For Linux and Steam Deck, locate compatdata/1783560 in the Steam library, then the corresponding Voyage/Saved/SaveGames/<Steam ID> folder within it. The full Linux path is just below.

Automatic backups are in the sibling SaveGameBackups folder. The game retains the latest 3 automatic backups per slot and provides 8 manual save slots, numbered 0–7.
