Frequently Asked Questions

Which game is the Sauropod Vertebra from?

The Sauropod Vertebra 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's the Sauropod Vertebra GFI short code?

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

What items are related to the Sauropod Vertebra?

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

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

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Sauro 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 the Sauropod Vertebra as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Sauro 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).

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

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Sauropod Vertebra by its class PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Sauro_C or GFI PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Sauro. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

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

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

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Sauropod Vertebra?

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 Sauropod Vertebra spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

Is the Sauropod Vertebra blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Sauro.PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_Sauro'" 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 do the numbers in the Sauropod Vertebra spawn command mean?

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

Is the Sauropod Vertebra spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Sauropod Vertebra'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.

Why isn't my Sauropod Vertebra spawn command working?

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

How do I give the Sauropod Vertebra to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 158 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 158 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Sauropod Vertebra during events and giveaways.

Can I get the Sauropod Vertebra without spawning it?

How do I spawn a higher-quality Sauropod Vertebra?

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

How do I use GiveItemNum for the Sauropod Vertebra?
