About

The Astrocetus Tek Saddle is an armor piece equipping an Astrocetus to be ridden. It functions as a prerequisite for controlling the creature's movement and activating its Tek-exclusive combat capabilities.

Craft it at a Tek Replicator or spawn it directly with the GFI code. Once equipped on a tamed Astrocetus, riders can pilot the whale through the air and underwater. The saddle is consumed when placed, so you will need a fresh one if the whale dies or if you want to re-equip it after removing the old saddle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Astrocetus Tek Saddle?
Both spawn the Astrocetus Tek Saddle. gfi PrimalItemArmor_SpaceWhaleSaddle_Tek matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 498 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.
Is the Astrocetus Tek Saddle blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis/Dinos/SpaceWhale/PrimalItemArmor_SpaceWhaleSaddle_Tek.PrimalItemArmor_SpaceWhaleSaddle_Tek'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
Why isn't my Astrocetus Tek Saddle spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemArmor_SpaceWhaleSaddle_Tek), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_SpaceWhaleSaddle_Tek 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
Can I spawn the Astrocetus Tek Saddle over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_SpaceWhaleSaddle_Tek 1 0 0. If your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat". It works the same on hosted, self-hosted, and RCON setups.
