Overview

The instabuild command provides instant results for a couple of specific actions related to construction and military building.

Primarily, the command is used for immediate completion of any construction projects within your domain. If you're in the process of building, let's say, a castle, a city, or a temple, using the instabuild command would finish the construction immediately. Furthermore, any subsequent construction projects will be completed within a day.

On the military side of things, the instabuild command also instantly reinforces your Men-at-Arms. Player Men-at-Arms refers to your regiment units who provide military strength in battles and sieges. If you've lost some of this unit during a war or you're just seeking to increase your numbers, using the instabuild command will instantly fill up these positions, reinforcing your military strength.

To halt this instant building and reinforcement, simply re-enter the instabuild command the game and its features will return to normal.

The instabuild command proves useful when you need to strengthen your military or complete construction projects quickly, bypassing the normal time requirements for these activities.

How to Open the Command Console

In CK3, cheats are executed from the command console, a text box that you type commands into.

To open the command console press the ~ (tilde) key, which is typically located under ESC (escape).

If your keyboard does not have that key, or pressing ~ does not work, try the following keys:

  • ~
  • SHIFT + 2
  • SHIFT + 3
  • ALT + 2 + 1

Type your command into the console, and then press ENTER .
