Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Metal Door blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalDoor.PrimalItemStructure_MetalDoor'" 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 Door class name?

The class name for the Metal Door is PrimalItemStructure_MetalDoor_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.

How do I give the Metal Door to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 167 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 167 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Metal Door during events and giveaways.

What is the admin command to spawn the Metal Door?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalDoor 1 0 0. That gives you one Metal Door 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 the Metal Door as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

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

How do I spawn a higher-quality Metal Door?

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

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