ARK: Survival Ascended Genesis — Spawn Commands
ARK Genesis spawn commands: creature IDs, item codes, gfi shortcuts, and blueprint paths for admin spawning.
Spawn Command Syntax
Summon [BlueprintPath] — Spawns wild creature at your location. SummonTamed [BlueprintPath] — Spawns tamed version. cheat gfi [PartialName] [Qty] [Quality] [Blueprint] — Quick item spawn using name fragments.
GMSummon "Path" [Level] — Admin tamed spawn with level control. Quotes around blueprint paths are mandatory in ASA or the parser falls back to wild Summon.
Common Item Spawn Codes
cheat gfi MetalIngot 100 0 0 — Metal ingots. cheat gfi Element 50 0 0 — Element shards. cheat gfi Cryopod 10 0 0 — Cryopods for tame transport. giveitemset 3 — High-tier consumable bundle with medical brews and stews.
givearmorset [tier] [quality] — Full armor set (0=Cloth, 1=Chitin, 2=Flak, 3=Tek). giveweaponset [tier] [quality] — Weapon tier sets from primitive through Tek. givebossitems — Boss tribute items for testing portals.
Genesis Creature Blueprints
Spawn Genesis-specific creatures using full blueprint paths from the creature ID database. Bloodstalker, Magmasaur, Ferox, Astrocetus, Megachelon, Tek Triceratops, Tidepup, and Palaeoctopus each have unique blueprint paths.
X-Creature variants use biome-prefixed paths (Bog_, Snow_, Ocean_, Volcano_ prefixes). Spawn in correct biome for testing color regions and stat modifiers.
Best Practices
Test spawn commands in single-player before using on private servers. Spawning high-level X-Mosasaurus indoors crashes weak hardware — spawn in open ocean. Use DestroyWildDinos cautiously — only affects loaded cells, not full map.
See Admin Commands page for authentication and FPS commands for performance testing while spawning large creature groups.
