About

The Water Reservoir is a structure used to store and distribute water across your settlement. Place it to supply water to irrigation systems, fill watering troughs for creatures, or use it as a source for water-based crafting recipes. It integrates with your plumbing network and reduces the need to haul water containers manually.

Spawn one with its item ID or GFI code. Since it is a structure, you receive it as a blueprint in your inventory when you use the spawn command; craft it at a workbench or smithy to place it on your terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I spawn the Water Reservoir over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank 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.
Which game is the Water Reservoir from?
The Water Reservoir 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 a higher-quality Water Reservoir?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Water Reservoir. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
Is the Water Reservoir spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Water Reservoir'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 spawn the Water Reservoir as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank 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 Water Reservoir used for?
The Water Reservoir is a structure used to store and distribute water across your settlement. Place it to supply water to irrigation systems, fill watering troughs for creatures, or use it as a source for water-based crafting recipes. It integrates with your plumbing network and reduces the need to haul water containers manually.
What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Water Reservoir?
Both spawn the Water Reservoir. gfi PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 183 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.
What do the numbers in the Water Reservoir spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank 1 0 0, the code identifies the Water Reservoir, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Water Reservoir.
What is the GFI code for the Water Reservoir?
The GFI code for the Water Reservoir is PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
How do I spawn the Water Reservoir in ARK: Survival Ascended?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank 1 0 0. That gives you one Water Reservoir 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 add the Water Reservoir to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank 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.
What's the difference between the Water Reservoir GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Pipes/PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank.PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Water Reservoir.
How do I open the console to spawn the Water Reservoir?
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 Water Reservoir spawn code from this page.
What is the Water Reservoir class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Water Reservoir by its class PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank_C or GFI PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
Is the Water Reservoir a DLC item or part of the base game?
The Water Reservoir 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 use GiveItemNum for the Water Reservoir?
Run cheat GiveItemNum 183 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.
How do I spawn multiple Water Reservoir at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Water Reservoir. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Water Reservoir?
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 Water Reservoir spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
Is the Water Reservoir blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Pipes/PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank.PrimalItemStructure_WaterTank'" 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's the numeric item ID of the Water Reservoir?
The numeric item ID for the Water Reservoir is 183. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 183 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.
Where can I copy the Water Reservoir spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Water Reservoir command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
Does the Water Reservoir 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 Water Reservoir then spawns the same way.

How do I give the Water Reservoir to another player?
