Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Mining Drill GFI short code?

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

When was the Mining Drill data last updated?

The Mining Drill entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.

Can I spawn the Mining Drill over RCON or on a dedicated server?

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

The GFI code PrimalItem_WeaponMiningDrill is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis/Weapons/MiningDrill/PrimalItem_WeaponMiningDrill.PrimalItem_WeaponMiningDrill'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Mining Drill.
