ARK: Survival Evolved is far from the most ordinary computer game. Here you find yourself on a mysterious island without food, medicine or even clothes. Your task is to survive, but to do this is not as easy as it might seem, because the island is inhabited by real dinosaurs! And many of them are not in the most friendly way. Accordingly, you will need to make every effort to survive. And for this, sometimes you even have to use the console command if you can’t manage to escape by standard means. And for this you need to know the ID of ARK items: Survival Evolved, special console commands, and, of course, understand first of all how to call the console in general. This is what will be discussed in this article. Naturally, all ARK: Survival Evolved item IDs will not be shown here, since there are more than a hundred of them, but you will get a general idea of their use.
What kind of game is it?
Before considering the console commands and item IDs ARK: Survival Evolved, you need to take a closer look at the game itself. So you can better understand why you need to read the article further. So, as already mentioned, this project is a survival game in which you will have to look for food, create weapons, hunt for weaker creatures and escape from stronger ones. Accordingly, for this you will have to deal with a wide variety of objects that can be used for their intended purpose, or you can combine them with others to get more advanced tools and powerful weapons. But what if you can’t create a good weapon or high-quality shelter? That's when console commands come in handy, as well as item IDs ARK: Survival Evolved.
Console
However, even if you have a list that lists all the items contained in the game ARK: Survival Evolved ID, you are unlikely to understand what to do with these indicators. Let's try to understand this aspect in detail, so that later on you can deal with similar problems yourself.
So, first of all, you need to learn how to call the console, because it is there that you need to register commands and IDs. This is absolutely nothing complicated, since the console in this case opens in exactly the same way as in most other computer games, that is, by pressing the “~” button. After that, a line opens in which you can use a variety of commands. However, for this one more step will have to be done.
Cheat activation
You must understand that adding items to the game through the console is cheating, so your actions can not be called justified and legal. But if you do not pretend to be Internet statistics and are not going to make your progress public, then you can always use cheats for your own pleasure.
In this game, they are initially disabled, so you can’t use the commands you want. Accordingly, you will need to enable them in order to start using them. To do this, immediately enter the enablecheats command in the console, after which you need to specify the administrator password that you set earlier. As soon as you do this, your console will begin to accept all the commands that you will enter into it, and your possibilities will become unlimited. However, this article is not about all the cheats of ARK: Survival Evolved. Console commands, item IDs, cheats on the outside world - this is a huge topic that can be talked about endlessly. Therefore, you need to focus on the most important aspect, namely on getting the items you need.
Receiving items
In the game ARK: Survival Evolved, the list of items for which the ID is available is limited. Some items do not have an identification number, respectively, you will not be able to get them using this command. You need to understand this aspect before you can move on.
If you know the identification number of the item that you want to get, then you need to use the admincheat giveitemnum command, which ensures the receipt of an item. However, if you write only these two words, you will not get anything. The fact is that you need to enter a little more information so that the game can determine with accuracy what exactly interests you. And now you will find out what this information is.
Additional Information
So, when you enter the command described above, after it you will need to specify four more digits. Each of them is important, so you should approach this moment very seriously. The first digit is the ID number of the item you want to receive. The second digit is the number of items you want to receive after using this command. The third digit is the quality of the item: in this case, you can use any value, starting from zero, where zero will act as a broken item. The higher the value, the higher quality the item will get. Well, the last digit can take only two forms: zero and one. If you substitute a zero, you get a specific item. If you make a choice in favor of a unit, then you will not get the item, but its drawing, according to which you can make items from existing materials.
ID numbers
In the game ARK: Survival Evolved ID, it is not so easy to get all the items, because there are a lot of them, and also, as mentioned earlier, some items do not have an identification number. If you need basic items, then you can use the following IDs: 434 for a club, 5 for a bow (32 for an arrow and 70 for a poisoned arrow), 384 for a trap and so on. This is only a small fraction of everything that you can get with this command.
