  - Pressing the page up and page down keys moves the spot's y offset.
  - The resulting values are printed to the console every time a modification is made, so you can copy them and paste them into your action spot code.
- `DumpTexture` saves the game's texture packer's entire texture into the Tiny Life folder (which can be accessed through the options menu) as `_Packed.png`.
- `DumpObjectInfo [person name without spaces or object guid]` prints a person's or map object's current state to the log file as JSON. This cheat is also available as a debug action (`ShowDebugActions`).
- There are various cheats that print organized debug information to the console, which can be useful for debugging and balancing mods. These include `TalkActions`, `AverageTalkActions`, `ActionPriorities`, `AverageActionPriorities`, `NeedStats`, `HouseholdStats`, `SkillStats`, and `ActionStats`.

Any boolean cheats can also be enabled on game startup by using the `--cheats` or `-c` argument with a list of cheats separated by spaces. For example, to always have debug actions available, add `-c ShowDebugActions` to the game's launch options.
