About

The Tek Generator is a placeable structure that serves as the primary power source for Tek-tier equipment and electrical systems. It consumes element or element shards to produce the energy needed to run Tek transmitters, Tek doors, automated defenses, and other advanced machinery.

Admins typically spawn this structure when setting up Tek bases for testing or when equipping a server with high-end automation. Unlike lower-tier generators, the Tek Generator offers superior efficiency and is required for certain Tek devices to function. It does not stack in inventory, so you receive it as a single deployable item rather than in bundles.

Does the Tek Generator 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 Tek Generator then spawns the same way.
What's the full blueprint path of the Tek Generator?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator.PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator.PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
What do the numbers in the Tek Generator spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator 1 0 0, the code identifies the Tek Generator, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Tek Generator.
How do I spawn the Tek Generator in ARK: Survival Ascended?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator 1 0 0. That gives you one Tek Generator 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.
How do I spawn multiple Tek Generator at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Tek Generator. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
How current is the Tek Generator spawn info?
The Tek Generator 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.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Tek Generator?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Tek Generator. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
Can I spawn the Tek Generator over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator 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 Tek Generator spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
How do I open the console to spawn the Tek Generator?
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 Tek Generator spawn code from this page.
What's the difference between the Tek Generator GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator.PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Tek Generator.
Is the Tek Generator spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Tek Generator'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.
Is the Tek Generator blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator.PrimalItemStructure_TekGenerator'" 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 Tek Generator spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Tek Generator command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Tek Generator?
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 Tek Generator spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
