About

Raw Meat is the most common meat drop in ARK, gathered by killing creatures or harvesting corpses with a pick or hatchet. It spoils quickly in inventory but remains useful throughout a server's lifespan as a primary taming food, kibble ingredient, and protein source.

Admins often spawn it in bulk to stock feeding troughs, fuel taming operations, or restock player food supplies after wipes. It stacks without limit and can be spawned directly by item ID or GFI code. Store it in a Preserving Bin or Refrigerator to slow spoilage if you need to keep supplies on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Raw Meat GFI short code?
The GFI code for the Raw Meat is PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
What's the numeric item ID of the Raw Meat?
The numeric item ID for the Raw Meat is 12. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 12 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.
Can I get the Raw Meat without spawning it?
Yes. The Raw Meat 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.
How do I give the Raw Meat to another player?
Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 12 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 12 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Raw Meat during events and giveaways.
What do the numbers in the Raw Meat spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat 1 0 0, the code identifies the Raw Meat, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Raw Meat.
Can I spawn the Raw Meat over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat 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 a higher-quality Raw Meat?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Raw Meat. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
Where can I copy the Raw Meat spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Raw Meat command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.

What is the admin command to spawn the Raw Meat?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat 1 0 0. That gives you one Raw Meat 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 Raw Meat blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat.PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
Is the Raw Meat a DLC item or part of the base game?
The Raw Meat 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 blueprint path for the Raw Meat?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat.PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat.PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
Why isn't my Raw Meat spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
Does the Raw Meat 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 Raw Meat then spawns the same way.
What is the Raw Meat class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Raw Meat by its class PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat_C or GFI PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
How do I add the Raw Meat to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat 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 enable admin commands to spawn the Raw Meat?
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 Raw Meat spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

What's the difference between the Raw Meat GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat.PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Raw Meat.
What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Raw Meat?
