ARK: Survival Ascended Genesis — Admin Commands
ARK Survival Ascended admin console commands: enable cheats, god mode, teleport, tribe management, and server admin tools.
Enabling Admin Commands
ARK: Survival Ascended has no redeemable promo codes — admin commands are console cheats for single-player and private servers. Enable Console Access in Advanced Settings, then press tilde (~) on PC or the equivalent console key on console to open the command line.
On dedicated servers, set EnableCheatProtection and ServerAdminPassword in GameUserSettings.ini. Authenticate each session with enablecheats [password]. Cheats reset on disconnect — re-authenticate after every login.
Essential Admin Commands
god — Invincibility (still vulnerable to drowning in some cases; InfiniteStats is more reliable). InfiniteStats — Infinite hunger, thirst, stamina, oxygen, weight, and health. fly / walk — Toggle no-clip flight for scouting Genesis biomes. ghost — Walk through terrain and structures.
teleport — Teleport forward until hitting surface. SetPlayerPos X Y Z — Exact coordinate teleport. ShowMyAdminManager — Open in-game admin panel UI. BanPlayer / KickPlayer — Server moderation tools.
Creature and Item Commands
forcetame — Instantly tames targeted creature, rideable immediately. DoTame — Safer alternative when ForceTame causes freezes on high-level dinos. GMSummon "BlueprintPath" — Spawn tamed creature by blueprint path with quotes required.
giveitemnum [ItemID] [Quantity] [Quality] [Blueprint] — Spawn items by ID. giveengrams — Unlock all crafting recipes. giveengramstekonly — Unlock Tek engrams only. giveresources — 50 of each base material.
Genesis-Specific Uses
Use fly and ghost to scout mission zones and ocean fortress locations before tribe runs. SetPlayerPos helps recover tames stuck in Genesis terrain bugs. forcetame X-Creatures for testing trap designs without 2.5x tranq investment.
Admin commands do not work on official servers without authorization. Single-player Genesis testing benefits from giveitemset for hazard suits before Lunar progression.
