The Metal Catwalk is a placeable structure that forms narrow walkways and platforms in bases. It connects to other metal structures and provides a lightweight alternative to larger foundations when you need to bridge gaps or create suspended pathways.
Spawn it with either its item ID (164) or GFI code (164). The structure has a stack size limit, so you cannot carry unlimited quantities in your inventory at once.

- The numeric item ID for the Metal Catwalk is
164. Use it with GiveItemNum,cheat GiveItemNum 164 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name. - Can I spawn the Metal Catwalk over RCON or on a dedicated server?
- Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console:
cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk 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. - How do I spawn multiple Metal Catwalk at once?
- Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example
cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk 25 0 0spawns 25 of the Metal Catwalk. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size. - How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Metal Catwalk?
- In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin first with

- The full blueprint path is
"Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk.PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item:cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk.PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk'" 1 0 0.

- Yes.
"Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk.PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk'"must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn. - Does the Metal Catwalk 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 Metal Catwalk then spawns the same way.
- Can I get the Metal Catwalk without spawning it?
- Yes. The Metal Catwalk can also be obtained through normal ARK: Survival Ascended progression. Admins usually spawn it for speed when testing, running events, or outfitting players, which is what the commands on this page are for.
- What's the difference between the Metal Catwalk GFI code and its blueprint path?
- The GFI code
PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalkis a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path"Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk.PrimalItemStructure_MetalCatwalk'"is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Metal Catwalk. - How do I spawn a higher-quality Metal Catwalk?
