Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

What is the admin command to spawn the Gunpowder?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder 1 0 0. That gives you one Gunpowder instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag. Raise the first to spawn a stack, or set the last to 1 to receive it as a blueprint instead of a finished item. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder 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.

The GFI code PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder.PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Gunpowder.

What is the GFI code for the Gunpowder?

Why isn't my Gunpowder spawn command working?

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Gunpowder?

What's the full blueprint path of the Gunpowder?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder.PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder'".

Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
