Frequently Asked Questions

What is the item ID for the Metal Ceiling?

The numeric item ID for the Metal Ceiling is 165. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 165 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

What is the Metal Ceiling used for?

The Metal Ceiling is a buildable structure that forms the top layer of enclosed bases and provides overhead cover. It snaps to metal walls and other ceiling pieces to create complete roof sections.

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

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling 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 Ceiling at once?

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

Can I get the Metal Ceiling without spawning it?

Yes. The Metal Ceiling 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 is the Metal Ceiling class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Metal Ceiling by its class PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling_C or GFI PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Where can I copy the Metal Ceiling spawn command?

Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Metal Ceiling command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Metal Ceiling?

Both spawn the Metal Ceiling. gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 165 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

Is the Metal Ceiling blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling.PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling'" 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's the Metal Ceiling class name?

The class name for the Metal Ceiling is PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling_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 Metal Ceiling spawn command working?

Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.

What is the admin command to spawn the Metal Ceiling?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling 1 0 0. That gives you one Metal Ceiling 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.

What items are related to the Metal Ceiling?

How do I spawn the Metal Ceiling by its item ID?

Run cheat GiveItemNum 165 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.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Metal Ceiling?

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

What do the numbers in the Metal Ceiling spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling 1 0 0, the code identifies the Metal Ceiling, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Metal Ceiling.

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling 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 current is the Metal Ceiling spawn info?

Is the Metal Ceiling a DLC item or part of the base game?

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

How do I give the Metal Ceiling to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 165 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 165 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Metal Ceiling during events and giveaways.

Is the Metal Ceiling spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Metal Ceiling'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.

What is the GFI code for the Metal Ceiling?

The GFI code for the Metal Ceiling is PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.

Does the Metal Ceiling 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 Ceiling then spawns the same way.

What's the difference between the Metal Ceiling GFI code and its blueprint path?

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

What is the blueprint path for the Metal Ceiling?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling.PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling.PrimalItemStructure_MetalCeiling'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

How do I open the console to spawn the Metal Ceiling?

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Metal Ceiling?

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 Metal Ceiling spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

How do I spawn the Metal Ceiling as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

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