[DrunkMunki]

yeah i plan to update the spawn codes, just havent had much time lately

[JDaremo Fireheart]

You can also goto this page to get them
https://ark.gamepedia.com/Creature_IDs

Still a great page here, DrunkMunki

[DrunkMunki]

@nilou_h yes its in map specific PDF's, for example; Ark_TheIsland_Creature_List.pdf

[nilou_h]

are there spawn codes for dinos?

[Arca]

@Ark Master 51
I would mount the dino, then "cheat infinitestats" on it and repeat to deactivate it again to heal it fully

[Lyric Drake 591]

please, tell me how to heal dinos with cheats. I use enchanced settings and my dino has over 100000 HP but it cant heal it quick
plz tell me

[DrunkMunki]

@Ark Master 51
Open "Ark_TheIsland_Creature_List.pdf"
copy the cheat code... in this example it will be for "Argentavis"

enter console mode and paste:
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Argentavis/Argent_Character_BP.Argent_Character_BP'" 0 0 0 150

this will spawn a level 150 Wild Argent, use SummonDino instead of SpawnDino to make it tamed

[Lyric Drake 591]
