Phoenix Point has console for cheating that is also useful for testing or troubleshooting. This console is disabled by default for retail builds but can be activated like this:

Option 1: With keyboard

Start the game and once in-game press following on your keyboard in succession: Up down left right s n a p s h o t

This should open the console automatically but just in case it does not: in-game if you press ~ you will open the console. It is the key under the escape.

Option 2: with autoexec.cfg

Open notepad or any other software that allows you to create text documents. Create a new document. Add only this sentence into the document:

disable_console_access = false

Save the document and name it autoexec.cfg

Move this document to your Phoenix Point root folder. Where this folder is depends on where you installed Phoenix Point but for example default path for Steam installation is most likely: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Phoenix Point\

Once the file is there, start Phoenix Point and press ~ to open the console. It depends on what kind of keyboard you have but it is the button under Escape which is the same button as for console in Counter Strike / Half life. In case it does not work try to change your keyboard to an English one.

Alternatively you can download this autoexec.cfg file from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lrc1t7kmYCIUjDS9KMF-lbKBgx4Ci-bi/view?usp=sharing
