Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Compost Bin used for?

The Compost Bin is a craftable structure used to process organic materials into usable fertilizer. Place it on your base, feed it spoiled meat, feces, or other organic waste, and it will gradually produce compost and fertilizer that you can use in crop plots.

Does the Compost Bin spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?

Yes, the command is identical in both. Single-player has cheats enabled by default; multiplayer just requires an admin login first. The Compost Bin then spawns the same way.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Compost Bin?

The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_CompostBin 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Compost Bin. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

How do I spawn multiple Compost Bin at once?

Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_CompostBin 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Compost Bin. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.

Can I spawn the Compost Bin over RCON or on a dedicated server?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_CompostBin 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.

Is the Compost Bin spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Compost Bin's class name, GFI code, item ID, and blueprint path are reproduced exactly from the live game data and re-checked each patch, so you can copy them straight into your console.

Is the Compost Bin blueprint path case-sensitive?

What is the Compost Bin class used for in mods or spawn tools?

How do I give the Compost Bin to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 126 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 126 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Compost Bin during events and giveaways.

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_CompostBin 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).

In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin first with enablecheats <AdminPassword>, then run the Compost Bin spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Compost Bin?
