Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Smithy used for?

The Smithy is a crafting station that allows survivors to forge metal tools, weapons, and armor. It requires metal ingots and other materials to produce items, and serves as the primary metalworking station in ARK.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Smithy?

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

What's the Smithy class name?

The class name for the Smithy is PrimalItemStructure_AnvilBench_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 add the Smithy to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_AnvilBench 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 spawn the Smithy over RCON or on a dedicated server?

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

Why isn't my Smithy spawn command working?

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

Does the Smithy 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 Smithy then spawns the same way.

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

Both spawn the Smithy. gfi PrimalItemStructure_AnvilBench matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 125 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

How do I give the Smithy to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 125 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 125 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Smithy during events and giveaways.

How current is the Smithy spawn info?

The Smithy 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.

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

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

What's the numeric item ID of the Smithy?

The numeric item ID for the Smithy is 125. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 125 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

What does the Smithy do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

A structure used for crafting metal tools and equipment; a core engram for any survival base.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Smithy?

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

Is the Smithy spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Smithy'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 is the Smithy class used for in mods or spawn tools?

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

Which game is the Smithy from?

The Smithy 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 spawn multiple Smithy at once?

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

What is the GFI code for the Smithy?

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

How do I spawn the Smithy by its item ID?

Run cheat GiveItemNum 125 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.

What items are related to the Smithy?

What do the numbers in the Smithy spawn command mean?

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

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

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

How do I give myself the Smithy with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_AnvilBench 1 0 0. That gives you one Smithy 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 Smithy blueprint path case-sensitive?

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

Where can I copy the Smithy spawn command?

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

How do I open the console to spawn the Smithy?

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 Smithy spawn code from this page.

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

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

Can I get the Smithy without spawning it?

Yes. The Smithy 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's the full blueprint path of the Smithy?

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