About

The Thatch Foundation is one of the earliest building pieces available and serves as the base layer for small structures and shelters. It is relatively weak compared to stone or metal and decays over time, making it suitable for temporary bases or starter setups.

Spawn it using either the item ID or GFI code. When using the item ID method with GiveItem, the syntax is cheat giveitem "PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor_C" <quantity> <quality> <blueprint>". Alternatively, use the GFI code with cheat gfi 80 1 0 0` for faster spawning. Adjust the quantity (second parameter) to spawn multiple foundations at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I give myself the Thatch Foundation with a cheat command?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor 1 0 0. That gives you one Thatch Foundation 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 is the Thatch Foundation class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Thatch Foundation by its class PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor_C or GFI PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
How current is the Thatch Foundation spawn info?
The Thatch Foundation 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 is the Thatch Foundation?
A basic wooden foundation structure for early-game building, spawnable via item ID or GFI code.
Is the Thatch Foundation spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Thatch Foundation'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 GFI code for the Thatch Foundation?
The GFI code for the Thatch Foundation is PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
Is the Thatch Foundation a DLC item or part of the base game?
The Thatch Foundation is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.
What do the numbers in the Thatch Foundation spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor 1 0 0, the code identifies the Thatch Foundation, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Thatch Foundation.
How do I spawn the Thatch Foundation as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor 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 items are related to the Thatch Foundation?
See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Thatch Foundation, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.
Why isn't my Thatch Foundation spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
How do I open the console to spawn the Thatch Foundation?
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 Foundation spawn code from this page.
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Thatch Foundation?
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 Foundation spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
How do I spawn the Thatch Foundation by its item ID?
Run cheat GiveItemNum 80 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.
Can I get the Thatch Foundation without spawning it?
Yes. The Thatch Foundation 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.
Can I spawn the Thatch Foundation over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor 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 add the Thatch Foundation to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor 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.
Where can I copy the Thatch Foundation 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 Foundation command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
What's the difference between the Thatch Foundation GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Thatch/PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor.PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Thatch Foundation.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Thatch Foundation?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Thatch Foundation. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
What is the Thatch Foundation used for?

Does the Thatch Foundation 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 Foundation then spawns the same way.
What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Thatch Foundation?
Both spawn the Thatch Foundation. gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 80 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.
Is the Thatch Foundation blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Thatch/PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor.PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor'" 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 item ID for the Thatch Foundation?
The numeric item ID for the Thatch Foundation is 80. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 80 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.
How do I give the Thatch Foundation to another player?
Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 80 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 80 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Thatch Foundation during events and giveaways.
Which game is the Thatch Foundation from?
The Thatch Foundation 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 Thatch Foundation at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Thatch Foundation. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
What's the full blueprint path of the Thatch Foundation?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Thatch/PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor.PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Thatch/PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor.PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
What's the Thatch Foundation class name?
The class name for the Thatch Foundation is PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor_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.
