Development mode toolbar (red frame) on top of the screen, next to the colonist bar.

Development mode is a feature on the user interface that serves both as a debugging tool for developers and as a cheat menu for most other players.

When active, it is seen as an additional menu on the top of the screen.

Features

Items are shown from left to right in the picture.

Options

In the Options menu in-game, you have the choice to 'permanently' disable development mode. This prevents you from cheating using this.

You can reset it by deleting the 'DevModeDisabled' file can be found in the config folder

It can be retrieved through: Start+R > appdata > LocalLow > Ludeon Studios > Rimworld by Ludeon Studios > Config.

Debug Action Menu

Debug Action Menu with Royalty DLC installed.

There are many options in this menu, and several sub-menus. The search bar in the top right will highlight options matching the search criteria, but the spelling must exactly match the name of the option or part of it.

Commands prefaced with with "T:" seem to temporarily alter the mouse behavior to do execute the command on left click, with right click cancelling this behavior.

Commands ending with an ellipsis "..." seem to tend to open a submenu, but not commands that do so have the ellipsis and not all commands that have an ellipsis do so. Its meaning is currently unclear.
