About

Fertilizer is a consumable item that boosts the growth rate of crops planted in irrigated garden plots. Place it in the crop plot's inventory to activate its effect, which speeds up the maturation cycle significantly. This is essential for efficient farming setups where you need food production to scale quickly.

Spawn fertilizer directly into your inventory using its item ID or GFI code. It has no blueprint variant, so those flags in the spawn command are not applicable. Stock piles of it in crop management if you're maintaining large agricultural colonies or testing farm mechanics on your server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the item ID for the Fertilizer?
The numeric item ID for the Fertilizer is 50. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 50 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.
What's the difference between the Fertilizer GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost.PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Fertilizer.
What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Fertilizer?
Both spawn the Fertilizer. gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 50 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.
How do I spawn the Fertilizer by its item ID?
Run cheat GiveItemNum 50 1 0 0 in the admin console. GiveItemNum spawns by numeric ID, which is precise for scripts and control panels. The trailing numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag.
When was the Fertilizer data last updated?
The Fertilizer entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.
Does the Fertilizer 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 Fertilizer then spawns the same way.
Why isn't my Fertilizer spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
What is the GFI code for the Fertilizer?
The GFI code for the Fertilizer is PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
Where can I copy the Fertilizer spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Fertilizer command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
What is the Fertilizer class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Fertilizer by its class PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost_C or GFI PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
What is the blueprint path for the Fertilizer?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost.PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost.PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
What's the Fertilizer class name?
The class name for the Fertilizer is PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost_C. Class names end in _C and identify the item's blueprint at runtime, which makes them useful for spawn tools, mods, and RCON macros.
How do I add the Fertilizer to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost 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 multiple Fertilizer at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Fertilizer. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.

Is the Fertilizer blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost.PrimalItemConsumable_Fertilizer_Compost'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

The Fertilizer is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.
