Ship Terminal Guide and Commands

Ship Terminal is one of the key features of Lethal Company as this is where you decide which moons you land on, buy items, check bestiary information, and see your current storage capacity. See more information about Ship Terminal here in this guide.

List of Terminal Commands

Here are the main features of the ship terminal. Each of these commands plays a special role in your adventures, such as selecting which moon to land on or if you want to see more information about the monsters you encountered.

• Moons
• Store
• Bestiary
• Storage
• Others

Additionally, if you do not see this screen the moment you access the terminal, simply type Help.

Moons

The terminal can help you choose which moon to venture onto when starting a game. By entering this command, it will present you with all the available moons along with their current weather conditions. The first six moons will be free, but exploring the other three will require payment.

Simply type the name of the moon you want to explore, confirm, and pull the lever to start the game.

Store

The store command allows you to order items for exploration, buy upgrades, and get decorations for your ship. You can order a range of items, from offensive zap guns to simple tools that can aid in your explorations, such as walkie-talkies and flashlights.

You Can Miss Item Deliveries

Item deliveries are timed, so if you don't reach the delivery rocket in time, it will take off with the items you've ordered. To prevent this, try landing on easy moons first, such as the Company Moon or Experimentation. These moons have a simple layout, allowing you to spot the delivery bot with ease.

If you did order from moons with complicated layouts, try following the festive sounds to spot it!

Bestiary

Any creature you've scanned during your current or previous expedition will have permanent records in the terminal. This provides additional information about the fauna you encountered, giving you a better understanding of their behavior should you encounter them on the next moon or subsequent ones.

Storage

You can also check the storage capacity at the ship terminal. This provides you with a specific number, indicating how much more you can store inside it. It helps you quickly assess whether you're close to or far from the limit as well.

Others

Command	Description
>VIEW MONITOR	To toggle on AND off the main monitor's map cam
>SWITCH [Player name]	To switch view to a player on the main monitor.
>PING [Radar booster name]	To make a radar booster play a noise.
>TRANSMIT [message]	To transmit a message with the signal translator.
> SCAN	To scan for the number of items left on the current planet.

The terminal also includes various short commands accessible by typing Others.

These commands have their own usefulness, but perhaps the most valuable one is the Scan command. It lets you know how many more remaining scraps are in the map, saving you time from wandering around without knowing the quantity of scrap left.

List of Secret Terminal Commands

The terminal also has secret features that might be easily missed, especially if the entire team decides to venture out together. Check out these secret commands and features that you can try on your next game:

• Sigurd's Entry
• Open Security Doors
• Temporarily Disable Turrets
• Interview Questions

Sigurd's Entry

Sigurd, the former employee of the ship, has left behind stories that you can discover by gathering scattered log info across various maps. Once you've collected these logs, you can view them in the terminal.

Even if you have only one, you can check it by typing Sigurd on the terminal, and this will display all the logs you've gathered. If you want to read a specific one, go ahead and type view followed by the name of the log you want to read

Open Security Doors

You can also use the terminal to unlock any security doors in the middle of the map. However, this requires one person to remain on the ship, so make sure someone stays behind to be able to use this command.

Temporarily Disable Turrets

Turrets can also be temporarily disabled through the ship terminal. However, similar to the security doors, one of your teammates needs to stay behind to access the terminal and temporarily disable these turrets.

Interview Questions

The first time you access the terminal, you'll be prompted with two questions: your favorite animal and your role in the team dynamic. This serves as a tutorial on how to use the terminal, and you can only see these questions the first time you access the terminal. How you answer doesn't really affect the game. After all, this is just a tutorial.

How to Use the Terminal

Press E to Start the Terminal

To access the terminal, head to the machine on the right section of the ship and hover your mouse over the keyboard. When the prompt appears, press E to access the terminal. Here, you'll find a variety of commands, from selecting the moon to land on to ordering items from the store.

Input Any Command

Once you're in the screen, simply type in any command you want. If you want to see all the available moons, just type Moons. If you want to order items, type Store. See more of these commands below!
