Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Chitin or Keratin GFI short code?

The GFI code for the Chitin or Keratin is PrimalItemResource_ChitinOrKeratin. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ChitinOrKeratin 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.

How do I add the Chitin or Keratin to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ChitinOrKeratin 1 0 0 in your server's kit or spawn script, and set the quantity argument to hand out multiples. Pair it with other item commands from the Codex to build a full loadout.

How do I spawn the Chitin or Keratin as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ChitinOrKeratin 1 0 1. The last number is the blueprint flag, where 0 gives the crafted item and 1 gives its blueprint (for craftable items; on items with no blueprint the flag is simply ignored).
