Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Scrap Metal?

A raw resource used to craft metal ingots and repair metal gear, obtainable from metal nodes and loot crates.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Scrap Metal?

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 Scrap Metal spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

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

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

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ScrapMetal 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's the Scrap Metal class name?

The class name for the Scrap Metal is PrimalItemResource_ScrapMetal_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.

When was the Scrap Metal data last updated?

The Scrap Metal 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.

Is the Scrap Metal spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Scrap Metal'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.

Does the Scrap Metal 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 Scrap Metal then spawns the same way.

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

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Scrap Metal by its class PrimalItemResource_ScrapMetal_C or GFI PrimalItemResource_ScrapMetal. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

What is the Scrap Metal used for?

Scrap Metal is a crafting resource refined from metal ore or found directly in certain loot containers and supply drops. Admins typically spawn it to quickly stock a smelter or furnace when testing metal-based recipes and gear without waiting for ore farming.

Is the Scrap Metal blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_ScrapMetal.PrimalItemResource_ScrapMetal'" 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 a higher-quality Scrap Metal?

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

How do I give myself the Scrap Metal with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ScrapMetal 1 0 0. That gives you one Scrap Metal 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's the difference between the Scrap Metal GFI code and its blueprint path?

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

Can I get the Scrap Metal without spawning it?

Yes. The Scrap Metal 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.

Which game is the Scrap Metal from?

The Scrap Metal 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 add the Scrap Metal to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_ScrapMetal 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 open the console to spawn the Scrap Metal?

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 Scrap Metal spawn code from this page.

Why isn't my Scrap Metal spawn command working?

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

What do the numbers in the Scrap Metal spawn command mean?

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

What's the full blueprint path of the Scrap Metal?

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

What is the GFI code for the Scrap Metal?

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

Where can I copy the Scrap Metal spawn command?

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

How do I spawn multiple Scrap Metal at once?

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