Developer mode is the game's test menu, and you turn it on with a single line in Steam. Once it is on, the Tab key brings up a menu on the left where you can change building speed, your city's level progression, the region's climate and the time of day. You can also trigger events such as forest fires and disease by hand. The Home key lets you place objects you normally cannot reach on the map, vehicles included. This was not designed as a cheat menu, so do not tinker with it without backing up your save.
Most codes here need cheats turned on first. See the section on how to open the console.
