Frequently Asked Questions

Which game is the Metal Pillar from?

The Metal Pillar is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.

How do I spawn multiple Metal Pillar at once?

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

Why isn't my Metal Pillar spawn command working?

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

What is the Metal Pillar?

A metal structural pillar for building frames and supports; spawnable by item ID or GFI code.

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

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalPillar 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.

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

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

Where can I copy the Metal Pillar spawn command?

What is the Metal Pillar used for?

The Metal Pillar is a structural building piece used to construct vertical supports and frameworks. It snaps to other metal structures and serves as a load-bearing component in bases and towers.

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

Run cheat GiveItemNum 173 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.

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

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

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

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_MetalPillar 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 is the item ID for the Metal Pillar?

The numeric item ID for the Metal Pillar is 173. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 173 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

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

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 Pillar spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

What is the Metal Pillar class used for in mods or spawn tools?

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

Does the Metal Pillar 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 Pillar then spawns the same way.

Is the Metal Pillar blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Metal/PrimalItemStructure_MetalPillar.PrimalItemStructure_MetalPillar'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

How do I give myself the Metal Pillar with a cheat command?

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

Is the Metal Pillar spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

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

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

How do I give the Metal Pillar to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 173 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 173 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Metal Pillar during events and giveaways.

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

What's the full blueprint path of the Metal Pillar?

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