Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't my Refining Forge spawn command working?

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

What is the Refining Forge?

A crafting structure that refines metal ingots and other materials; essential for producing metal tools, weapons, and armor.

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Forge 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.

What's the numeric item ID of the Refining Forge?

The numeric item ID for the Refining Forge is 124. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 124 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

What is the admin command to spawn the Refining Forge?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Forge 1 0 0. That gives you one Refining Forge 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.

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

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

Is the Refining Forge a DLC item or part of the base game?

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

Is the Refining Forge spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Refining Forge'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.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Refining Forge?

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 Refining Forge spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Refining Forge?

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

What do the numbers in the Refining Forge spawn command mean?

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

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

What's the Refining Forge GFI short code?

Is the Refining Forge blueprint path case-sensitive?

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

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Refining Forge?

Both spawn the Refining Forge. gfi PrimalItemStructure_Forge matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 124 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

What is the Refining Forge used for?

The Refining Forge is a placeable structure that converts raw materials into refined resources. It primarily smelts metal ore into metal ingots, but also processes other materials depending on what you feed it. Any tribe member can use a forge once it's placed and fueled.

How do I spawn multiple Refining Forge at once?

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

What is the blueprint path for the Refining Forge?

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

Can I get the Refining Forge without spawning it?

Yes. The Refining Forge 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 Refining Forge 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 Refining Forge then spawns the same way.

How do I spawn the Refining Forge as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Forge 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 give the Refining Forge to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 124 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 124 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Refining Forge during events and giveaways.
