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
Tabkey while in-game to bring up the command console. Then, type in your desired command and hitEnter. 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
Tabkey 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.BlueprintPathNamespecifies 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 thecheat giveallstructurecommand.Levelis 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.

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.

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.

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
BlueprintPathNamefor creatures and items can be tricky. There are online resources (like the Ark gamepedia) that list these paths. Alternatively, you can use thecheat giveallstructurecommand to give yourself all engrams and then look at the item blueprints to find the path. Also, if you use the commandcheat 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.
