Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Tek Trough 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 Trough then spawns the same way.

How current is the Tek Trough spawn info?

The Tek Trough 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 does the Tek Trough do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

An advanced feeding structure that automatically distributes food to nearby creatures, requiring Element to operate.

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

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekTrough 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 admin command to spawn the Tek Trough?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekTrough 1 0 0. That gives you one Tek Trough 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.

Why isn't my Tek Trough spawn command working?

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

What is the GFI code for the Tek Trough?

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

What's the full blueprint path of the Tek Trough?

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

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

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

Is the Tek Trough blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TekTrough.PrimalItemStructure_TekTrough'" 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 is the class name for the Tek Trough?

The class name for the Tek Trough is PrimalItemStructure_TekTrough_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 spawn a higher-quality Tek Trough?

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

What do the numbers in the Tek Trough spawn command mean?

Can I spawn the Tek Trough over RCON or on a dedicated server?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TekTrough 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 multiple Tek Trough at once?
