With RightShift+F12, the toolbar can be opened. As of 1.7.0, it has seven sections: Console, Database, Cheats, Physics, Contracts, Kerbals, and may have additional sections added for game expansions or DLCs. (In the future, outside plugins may be able to add debug screens, but this remains to be seen.)

With {{Key press|[[Mod]]|F12}} or {{Key press|[[Mod]]|Fn|F12}}, the toolbar can be opened. It has four sections: Cheats, Debug, Database and Progress. It can also be accessed on Xbox One and PS4 enhanced edition by pausing the game after loading a craft in the VAB or SPH and entering Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right through the controlers D-pad. The toolbar is not in the non enhanced edition.

==Console==
 +
The console outputs the current states of many of the processes running in the loading and playing of KSP. The Console drop-down menu has six subscreens: Debugging, Input Locks, Performance, Flight Info, Version Info, and DeltaV Info.
 +
===Debugging===
 +
This screen has five true/false options related to the console log and localization:
 +
#  Show All Log Errors on the Screen
 +
#  Show All Log Exceptions on the Screen
 +
#  Immediately Flush Log File to Disk
 +
#  Write missing localization keys to log as they are accessed
 +
#  Show localization keys on screen(instead of translated text)
 +
===Performance===
 +
This screen has a performance graph as well as six related displays, in millibytes:
 +
*  Used Heap Size
 +
*  Allocated
 +
*  Reserved

===Version Info===
 +
This screen simply shows the current version and any expansions.
 +
===DeltaV Info===
 +
The main focus of this screen is a list of all the stages and each stage's DeltaV, Thrust, Thrust to Weight Ratio, amongst other stats. Five true/false options for changing the main display:
 +
#  Show Parts -- adds a part list for each stage
 +
#  Show Vacuum(true on default) -- toggles between atmosphere and vacuum readouts
 +
#  Show all stages -- toggles between showing stages with or without thrust
 +
#  Show Engine Info -- adds an engine specification readout for each stage

This section contains multiple checkboxes and buttons used to ease gameplay or debugging in cheaty ways.
+
The Database screen has statistics for the number of assets currently available, along with a tool to reload the asset database(only available in the main menu) and the texts dictionary. Also available is a complete list of all assets used by the game or mods, including a list of assemblies in use by the game.
  
−
=== Always available ===
+
==Cheats==
−
These options are available at any time, however they may not always have an effect.
+
This screen has ten true/false options that change the gameplay of KSP:
−
* '''Show/Hide Input Lock Stack:''' Shows or hides a list showing if a certain type of input is locked and why, for example when staging has been locked with Mod+L.

#  No Crash Damage -- Removes the possibility that parts will explode due to collision with other vessels or the ground.
−
* '''No Crash Damage:''' When active, parts cannot be destroyed by crashing into each other or anything else. They can however still be destroyed by other means, such as overheating and splashing down '''hard'''.
+
#  Ignore Max Temperature -- Removes the possibility that parts will explode due to heating.
−
* '''Infinite Fuel:''' When active, parts that require [[liquid fuel]], [[oxidizer]], [[solid fuel]], [[xenon gas]] or [[intake air]] will run without consuming and requiring the resource.
+

* '''Infinite EVA Fuel:''' When active, the jetpack of a [[kerbonaut]] on [[EVA]] will work without consuming and requiring the resource.
+
#  Pause on Vessel Unpack -- The game will be paused when launching.
−
* '''Allow Part Clipping in Editors:''' When active, the editor will not check if a newly placed part would collide with existing ones, hence allowing intersecting parts ("clipping").
+
#  Biomes Visible -- Recolors
−
* '''Biomes visble in map:''' When active, the [[biome]]s are indicated with various colors in [[map view]] and in the GUI of the [[Tracking Station]].

#  Non-Strict Part Attachment Checks
 +
A tool also exists to modify science/reputation by increments of ±100 or ±10 and funding by increments of ±100000 or ±1000 or to maximize any of these:
 +
Technology -- Researches all researchable techs with no Resource cost.

The debug toolbar open with the tab “Cheats”
