Frequently Asked Questions

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Polymer 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.

Can I get the Polymer without spawning it?

Yes. The Polymer 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.

What is the class name for the Polymer?

The class name for the Polymer is PrimalItemResource_Polymer_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 spawn the Polymer as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Polymer 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 open the console to spawn the Polymer?

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 Polymer spawn code from this page.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Polymer?

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

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

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

Does the Polymer 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 Polymer then spawns the same way.

What's the numeric item ID of the Polymer?

The numeric item ID for the Polymer is 163. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 163 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

What do the numbers in the Polymer spawn command mean?

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

What is the admin command to spawn the Polymer?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Polymer 1 0 0. That gives you one Polymer 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.

What does the Polymer do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

A crafting resource used in advanced recipes; obtained from organic polymer drops or synthesized at a fabricator.

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

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

How do I spawn multiple Polymer at once?

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

How do I spawn a higher-quality Polymer?

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

Is the Polymer spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Polymer'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.

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

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

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

Both spawn the Polymer. gfi PrimalItemResource_Polymer matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 163 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

What is the Polymer used for?

Polymer is a refined resource essential for high-tier crafting, particularly in the fabricator and for late-game items. You obtain it by harvesting organic polymer from certain creatures, primarily Mantis, Tusoteuthis, or Reaper King corpses, or by synthesizing it at a fabricator using polymer and other materials.

Which game is the Polymer from?

The Polymer 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 give the Polymer to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 163 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 163 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Polymer during events and giveaways.

Where can I copy the Polymer spawn command?

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

Is the Polymer blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Polymer.PrimalItemResource_Polymer'" 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 spawn the Polymer by its item ID?

Run cheat GiveItemNum 163 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.

Why isn't my Polymer spawn command working?

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

What is the blueprint path for the Polymer?

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

What's the Polymer GFI short code?

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

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

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