Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Oil a DLC item or part of the base game?

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

What is the Oil used for?

Oil is a basic resource consumed by various crafting recipes and engrams throughout the game. Admins spawn it to stock crafting stations, fulfill specific recipe requirements, or supplement player inventories during testing and administration.

How do I give myself the Oil with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Oil 1 0 0. That gives you one Oil 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.

When was the Oil data last updated?

The Oil 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.

How do I open the console to spawn the Oil?

On PC, press Tab to open the admin console, paste the command, and press Enter. On Xbox and PlayStation, open the pause menu and use the on-screen command bar. Then drop in the Oil spawn code from this page.

What's the full blueprint path of the Oil?

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

Why isn't my Oil spawn command working?

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

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

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

What items are related to the Oil?

See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Oil, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.

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

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Oil 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 is the Oil class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Oil by its class PrimalItemResource_Oil_C or GFI PrimalItemResource_Oil. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Is the Oil spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Oil'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.

Which game is the Oil from?

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

What is the item ID for the Oil?

The numeric item ID for the Oil is 159. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 159 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

How do I use GiveItemNum for the Oil?

Run cheat GiveItemNum 159 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 Oil?

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

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Oil 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 do I spawn the Oil as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Oil 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 enable admin commands to spawn the Oil?

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

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Oil?

Both spawn the Oil. gfi PrimalItemResource_Oil matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 159 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

How do I give the Oil to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 159 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 159 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Oil during events and giveaways.

What do the numbers in the Oil spawn command mean?

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

Where can I copy the Oil spawn command?

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

What is the class name for the Oil?

The class name for the Oil is PrimalItemResource_Oil_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.

Can I get the Oil without spawning it?

Yes. The Oil 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.

Does the Oil 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 Oil then spawns the same way.

How do I spawn multiple Oil at once?

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

What does the Oil do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

A resource item used in crafting and engram recipes, spawnable via GFI code or item ID.

What is the GFI code for the Oil?

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

Is the Oil blueprint path case-sensitive?

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