Choose the Right Spawn Code
Tame | Wild | Specify Level | Play as Dino | Tame Effectiveness | Ride Bareback | Spawn Distance | Offset | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SDF |  | | |  | | | | |
| SDFRide | | | | | | | | |
| GMSummon * | | | | | | | | |
| SummonTamed * | | | | | | | | |
| Summon | | | | | | | | |
| SpawnDino | | | | | | | | |
| SpawnActor | | | | | | | | |
* these codes are supposed to spawn tamed creatures but in some cases the code will still work but will only spawn wild creatures (bosses and event creatures). In thoses cases it is noted on their cheat code page.
SDF Cheat Command
ASE: This is the SDF Code to spawn a tamed level 150 Shastasaurus.
ASA: Using this SDF code in ASA (Ark Survival Ascended) will spawn a perfectly tamed Shastasaurus. This mean is will gain 50% of the level you specify, for example if you specify a 150 you will spawn a level 225 (150+75). If you choose to spawn a wild creature it will be exactly the level you have specified.
You can easily change this to wild / tamed or a different level using the options below.
If the creature does not have the level you expected then put it into and out of a cryopod to reset.
Shastasaurus SDF Code
Parameters - admincheat SDF [Creature ID] [Tamed = 1, Wild = 0] [Level] - How to change?
SDFRide Cheat Command
This is the SDFRide code to actually become and play as the Shastasaurus.
You can specify the level (I have used 150 as the default here but you can change the 150 to any number you choose).
If you log out the Shastasaurus will remain as a tamed Shastasaurus belonging to you when you log back in.

Parameters - admincheat SDFRide [Creature ID] [Level] - How to change?
GMSummon Cheat Command
GMSummon Code for Shastasaurus. This will spawn in a tamed Shastasaurus.
It is not cheat tamed so puts on levels (50% taming bonus) just as if you had tamed it.
I have used the maximum official level 150 here so the Shastasaurus will be level 225. If I had used 100 it would be level 150.

How do I change Parameters
- [Command] - The cheat command such as SDF, Giveitem or Summon.
- [Creature ID] - Each creature has a unique code you can copy from above. Be aware the some spawn codes require _C after the Creature ID.
- [Blueprint Path] - Each creature has a unique blueprint path. Be aware that some spawn codes require " " around the blueprint path to work.
- [Tame Status] - This value should be 1 or True for tamed, or 0 / false for wild. Not all commands will spawn a tamed creature, each creatures own cheat code page will specify which codes you can use.
- [Level] - The level which you want the creature to spawn. This spawns the exact level for all codes here except GMSummon which spawns a creature with additional taming bonus.
- [SpawnDistance] - The distance in front of you.
- [SpawnYOffset] - Spawns to the right or left of you, negative numbers spawn to the left, positive numbers spawn to the right.
- [SpawnZOffset] - Spawns above or below you - positive numbers spawn above, negative numbers spawn below.
Should I use Admincheat or Cheat?
I have included admincheat by default in all the commands you can copy above for convenience as it works everywhere.
Single player you can use the command cheat or simply the command alone instead.
Do I need a password?
Singleplayer: On single player you do not need to use a password.
Multiplayer: If on multiplayer you must enter the code enablecheats adminpassword in the console before any cheats / commands will work. You can get your password from your server provider / host or admin.
Why does my code not work?
Sometimes spawn codes fail, by far the most likely cause is a conflict with a mod, or sometimes it appears to be an issue with not having the item already in your cache (this cause is iffy but I have seen it mentioned quite often), or maybe an update has temporarily broken the codes.
EASY CODE NOT WORKING SOLUTION - Use the full GMSummon cheat code above.
You could spend lots of time tracking down the root cause but I suggest you save time and just use this consistent solution (in my experience, let me know if you know otherwise).
