Hey gamers! Are you ready to dive deep into the cosmic chaos of ARK: Survival Evolved Genesis Part 2? This expansion packs a punch, offering a wild ride through alien landscapes, robotic companions, and a whole new level of survival challenges. But sometimes, you just wanna cut loose, right? Maybe you're tired of the grind, want to experiment, or just want to build the coolest base imaginable without the resource hunt. That's where admin commands come in! These are your secret weapons, allowing you to warp reality to your will. Think of it as activating god mode, or giving yourself a super-powered cheat code to make your gaming experience even more enjoyable. So, buckle up, because we're about to explore the amazing world of admin commands in ARK: Survival Evolved Genesis Part 2.

Getting Started with Admin Commands

Alright, first things first: how do you actually use these magical commands? The process is a little different depending on whether you're playing solo, hosting a non-dedicated server, or playing on an official server. Let's break it down:

  • Single-Player/Non-Dedicated Servers: This is the easiest scenario, guys. You're the boss! Hit the Tab key while in-game to bring up the command console. Then, type in your desired command and hit Enter. Boom! Instant reality manipulation. Make sure that you have admin rights by default in solo mode. But in the non-dedicated servers, the person who hosts the server is the admin and can use the command as usual.
  • Dedicated Servers (Your Own): If you're running your own dedicated server, you'll need to enable admin commands. The method for this varies depending on how you're hosting the server (e.g., through a game panel or directly). Generally, you'll need to go into the server settings and make yourself an admin by adding your Steam ID to the admin list. Once that's done, you can use the same Tab key method to enter commands in-game. Make sure to restart the server after enabling the admin command, otherwise, the changes may not appear.
  • Official Servers: Okay, this one's a bit of a bummer. You can't directly use admin commands on official servers. That's part of what makes the gameplay experience so intense and challenging! However, if you are an official server admin, you should follow the same method as the dedicated servers to access the command.

Remember that admin commands are powerful, so use them responsibly. You don't want to accidentally break your game or ruin the experience for other players on a server (if you're an admin).

Essential Admin Commands to Know

Now for the fun part: the commands themselves! There are tons of admin commands in ARK: Survival Evolved, offering everything from spawning creatures to teleporting around the map. Here are some of the most useful commands to get you started in Genesis Part 2:

Creature Manipulation

  • cheat summon <BlueprintPathName> <Level>: This is your go-to command for summoning creatures. BlueprintPathName specifies the creature you want (e.g., /Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Gacha/Gacha_Character_BP.Gacha_Character_BP). You can find these paths online or by using the cheat giveallstructure command. Level is the level of the creature you want to spawn. If you leave out the level, the creature spawns at a random level. This is great for experimentation! Think of summoning a level 150 Voidwyrm to fight alongside you, or perhaps a pack of Tek Stryders to help you get started.
  • cheat ForceTame: This command tames the creature you're currently looking at instantly. No more kibble farming or waiting around! Point at the creature, type the command, and it's yours. This is super useful if you find a high-level creature stuck in a weird spot or just don't have the time to go through the taming process. You can use it on any creatures. Keep in mind that taming a creature that is not suitable for your current progress can make the game boring.
  • cheat DestroyWildDinos: This command immediately kills all wild dinosaurs on the map. This is useful for clearing out unwanted creatures or refreshing the spawn pool. Use this before summoning creatures, to ensure that the environment is clear for them.
  • cheat GiveDinoSet <DinoSet>: Spawns a pre-defined set of dinosaurs. This can be useful for quickly setting up an arena or a zoo. DinoSets include creatures such as Tek, Aberrant, or even the Genesis 2 specific creatures.

Item and Resource Commands

  • cheat GiveItemNum <ItemNum> <Quantity> <Quality> <ForceBlueprint>: This command gives you items directly. ItemNum is the item's ID (search online for item IDs). Quantity is how many you want. Quality determines the item's quality (0-100). ForceBlueprint (0 or 1) forces the item to be a blueprint. This command is your best friend when you are tired of gathering and grinding resources.
  • cheat GiveResources: Instantly gives you a stack of all resources. Perfect for testing out crafting recipes or building massive structures without the hassle of gathering. This can be great for server admins who want to supply new players with starter resources.
  • cheat GiveAllStructure: This command gives you all the engrams in the game, allowing you to learn all blueprints instantly. This can be extremely useful for testing out different structures and crafting recipes. It is especially useful for players who do not want to go through the grind of getting engrams.

Player and Server Commands

  • cheat God: Makes you invincible. You take no damage, perfect for exploring dangerous areas or testing out builds. Be careful, though, because you can't level up when in God mode!
  • cheat Fly: Allows you to fly around the map. Great for scouting locations, building in hard-to-reach places, or just having some fun. This is especially useful for building in the new Genesis 2 biomes.
  • cheat Teleport: Teleports you to your crosshair. Useful for quick travel. Great for escaping difficult situations or quickly visiting other parts of the map.
  • cheat SetPlayerPos <X> <Y> <Z>: Teleports you to specific coordinates. Useful for precise travel or returning to a lost base. Use this command with coordinates you can find online.
  • cheat Slomo <value>: Slows down or speeds up the game. Useful for cinematic captures or getting through boring parts of the game quickly. Value is the speed multiplier (1 is normal speed). Use lower values to slow the game down and higher values to speed it up.
  • cheat Broadcast <message>: Sends a message to all players on the server. Useful for announcements or warnings. This is useful for admins to give announcements to players.

Advanced Admin Command Tips and Tricks

Alright, you've got the basics down, but let's take it a step further. Here are some advanced tips and tricks for using admin commands effectively:

  • Find Blueprint Paths: Finding the correct BlueprintPathName for creatures and items can be tricky. There are online resources (like the Ark gamepedia) that list these paths. Alternatively, you can use the cheat giveallstructure command to give yourself all engrams and then look at the item blueprints to find the path. Also, if you use the command cheat summon, it will give you some useful examples.
  • Experiment and Explore: Don't be afraid to try things out! The best way to learn is by experimenting. Test out different commands, combine them, and see what happens. This is the whole point of admin commands, to customize your ARK experience.
  • Backup Your Saves (If Possible): If you're playing on a solo or non-dedicated server, consider backing up your save files before using commands. This way, if you make a mistake or the game glitches, you can revert to an earlier state.
  • Use with Caution: While admin commands can be a blast, use them responsibly, especially on servers with other players. Make sure to communicate your actions with other players.
  • Keep Up-to-Date: The commands and the functionality of each command might change with game updates. Check for the most recent commands on the official ARK website or community forums.

Admin Command for Genesis Part 2 Specifics

Genesis Part 2 introduced some unique creatures and items, so here are a few Genesis Part 2-specific admin commands:

  • Voidwyrm: To summon a Voidwyrm, use cheat summon /Game/Genesis2/Dinos/Voidwyrm/Voidwyrm_Character_BP.Voidwyrm_Character_BP. You can use this for taming and breeding this powerful creature. The Voidwyrm is one of the most powerful creatures in the Genesis Part 2 map.
  • Astral and Shadowmane: The Shadowmane and Astrodelphis are other unique creatures in Genesis 2. To summon them, use the following commands: cheat summon /Game/Genesis2/Dinos/Shadowmane/Shadowmane_Character_BP.Shadowmane_Character_BP and cheat summon /Game/Genesis2/Dinos/Astrodelphis/Astrodelphis_Character_BP.Astrodelphis_Character_BP. The Shadowmane is a powerful land creature, and the Astrodelphis is a flying creature that uses lasers.
  • Tek Stryder: The Tek Stryder is a unique creature in Genesis 2. To summon one, use cheat summon /Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/TekStryder/TekStryder_Character_BP.TekStryder_Character_BP. The Tek Stryder is a useful creature to have, due to its mining abilities.
  • Genesis Part 2 Items: Use cheat giveitemnum and search for the item ID online to get items specific to Genesis Part 2, such as the HLN-A skin.
