Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Thatch do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

Basic resource harvested from trees and plants; essential for early-game building and crafting on any server.

What is the Thatch used for?

Thatch is the most abundant natural resource in ARK, gathered by punching trees or harvesting fiber from plants. It serves as the foundation material for early-stage construction, thatch foundations, walls, ceilings, and doorframes, and appears in dozens of early recipes for tools, weapons, and armor.

When was the Thatch data last updated?

The Thatch 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.

Where can I copy the Thatch spawn command?

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

What's the Thatch class name?

The class name for the Thatch is PrimalItemResource_Thatch_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 multiple Thatch at once?

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

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

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

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

Is the Thatch blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Thatch.PrimalItemResource_Thatch'" 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 the Thatch in ARK: Survival Ascended?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Thatch 1 0 0. That gives you one Thatch 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 Thatch spawn command working?

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

How do I add the Thatch to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Thatch 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 give the Thatch to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 74 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 74 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Thatch during events and giveaways.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Thatch?

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

What is the GFI code for the Thatch?

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

Which game is the Thatch from?

The Thatch 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 the Thatch by its item ID?

Run cheat GiveItemNum 74 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.

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

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

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

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

What's the numeric item ID of the Thatch?

The numeric item ID for the Thatch is 74. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 74 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

What is the blueprint path for the Thatch?

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

How do I spawn a higher-quality Thatch?

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

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

Both spawn the Thatch. gfi PrimalItemResource_Thatch matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 74 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

Can I get the Thatch without spawning it?

Yes. The Thatch 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 do the numbers in the Thatch spawn command mean?

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

Does the Thatch 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 Thatch then spawns the same way.

Is the Thatch spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Thatch'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.

How do I open the console to spawn the Thatch?

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 Thatch spawn code from this page.

What items are related to the Thatch?

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

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

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