The Carcass Tools
Utility pages that speed up terminal play—starting with live command search.
Tools on thecarcass.wiki exist because The Carcass is a typing game at heart. When you forget whether a menu action spends a Pulse, alt-tabbing to a static FAQ breaks immersion. Our tools sit beside guides—you read the strategy once, then filter commands mid-run.
Featured tool
Command Lookup
Searchable reference for terminal commands: navigation, colony management, harvest, research, diplomacy, and combat orders. Filter by keyword, see Pulse cost flags, and jump to related guides.
Built for keyboard players who keep a second monitor or phone nearby. Strings are localized for EN/FR/DE/ES like the rest of the wiki.
Planned workflow
- Learn systems in Getting Started.
- Bookmark Keyboard Commands for prose explanations.
- Pin Command Lookup during Ironman attempts where mistakes delete saves.
Why not third-party cheat tools?
The Carcass has no traditional cheat codes. Console-style debug commands are not part of the public design. These tools document intended inputs only—no memory editors, no automation scripts.
Tool accuracy
We sync command names with patch notes after updates. If the in-game terminal prints a different label post-patch, report discrepancies via community channels and we update the lookup table.

Tools hub focus
Command lookup complements but never replaces the prose command guide.
Hub navigation
Use lookup alongside prose guides—not alone on first playthrough.
Player notes on Tools Hub
Veterans recommend revisiting this topic after the 2.0 patch because Pulse labels and harvest menus changed beginner muscle memory. Pair this page with the guides hub when planning multi-run completion. Ironman players should read related controls pages before committing single-save attempts. Document event choices with Pulse numbers when chasing secret endings or NG+ memory flags. Trade reliance fails after betrayal—internal Nutrient Vats remain the reliable backbone on Normal and Hard. Extinction difficulty punishes sloppy turn reports; scan biomass every Pulse without exception. Large populations above five hundred citizens require recommended PC specs listed on release info.
Continued study of Tools Hub inside The Carcass: cross-link tier list hub, colony hub, and updates hub so patch changes never invalidate your plan mid-run.
Closing tips for tool users
lookup complements guides—learn economy first via getting started.
