Be advised that "devcommands" / cheats cannot be used by a client connected to a dedicated server, even if your listed as a server admin and have the console enabled for your game client.
FALSE
Okay. Calm down.
I attempted this scenario once (couple months ago?) to restore some items. A friends client crashed while carrying a bunch of stuff to a new base and the character file didn't get saved.
My client was already set up as admin of the server, which was running the valheim_server.x86_64 binary (not the game client binary running as host), and the 'spawn' commands all failed, as well as a few others I tested. After a few internet searches, I found multiple sources confirming that "devcommands" do not work with the dedicated server.
I then copied and tried hosting the same world from the game client (valheim.x86_64 binary), with the same clients/friends connected and the 'spawn' commands did work from the host as expected.
From my own experience, and confirmed by others, my statement seemed to be true.
Are you able to clarify this? Preferably without screaming in caps ; )
