About

Hardened Steel Ingot is an advanced resource crafted from steel and other materials at a forge or industrial forge. It appears in recipes for high-tier armor, weapons, and structures that require durability beyond standard metal components.

Use its GFI code to spawn it directly into your inventory. Adjust the quantity in the spawn command by changing the first number after the code; set the last two flags to 0 0 for the item itself rather than a blueprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Hardened Steel Ingot?
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 Hardened Steel Ingot spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
How do I open the console to spawn the Hardened Steel Ingot?
On PC, press Tab to open the admin console, paste the command, and press Enter. On Xbox and PlayStation, open the pause menu and use the on-screen command bar. Then drop in the Hardened Steel Ingot spawn code from this page.
What is the class name for the Hardened Steel Ingot?
The class name for the Hardened Steel Ingot is PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot_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.
Why isn't my Hardened Steel Ingot spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
How do I spawn the Hardened Steel Ingot in ARK: Survival Ascended?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot 1 0 0. That gives you one Hardened Steel Ingot 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 spawn multiple Hardened Steel Ingot at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Hardened Steel Ingot. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
Is the Hardened Steel Ingot blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Abyss/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot.PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
What is the blueprint path for the Hardened Steel Ingot?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Abyss/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot.PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Abyss/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot.PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

What do the numbers in the Hardened Steel Ingot spawn command mean?

How do I spawn the Hardened Steel Ingot as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot 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).
What's the difference between the Hardened Steel Ingot GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/Abyss/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot.PrimalItemResource_HardenedSteelIngot'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools.
