Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I summon a dinosaur of a certain level?

A: You can summon a dinosaur of a certain level using this command:cheat SpawnDino <blueprintPath> <spawnDistance> <spawn-Y-offset> <Z-offset> <DinoLevel> and changing <DinoLevel> to your desired level. Find this command in the table above for a pdf contaning the dino BP list.

Some commands for aquatica. First, giveallexplorernotes - all lore+dossiers+more levels.
Example to get saddle G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Abyss\Dinos\Seahorse\Saddle, command – gfi seahorsesaddle 1 100 0. Exception: typing error for swordfish - gfi OnchopritisSaddle 1 100 0 G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Abyss\Dinos - to look for creature spawn, e.g. gmsummon "seahorse_character_bp_c" 200. Some spawn as agrresive, e.g. alpha tridacna, cymathoa, fractalis - don`t spawn near your tames, they will die instantly.
