Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the Metal Dinosaur Gateway without spawning it?

Yes. The Metal Dinosaur Gateway 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.

How do I spawn multiple Metal Dinosaur Gateway at once?

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

What do the numbers in the Metal Dinosaur Gateway spawn command mean?

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

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

Both spawn the Metal Dinosaur Gateway. gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalGateframe matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 261 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

Does the Metal Dinosaur Gateway 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 Dinosaur Gateway then spawns the same way.
