Finding Modded Creature Spawn Codes
Finding Mod Spawn Codes for mods that don't give you the spawn codes

1: Get the mod ID number and open its folder:
Steam/steamapps/common/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/Mods/(ModIDnumber)

2: Open the file modmeta.info with Notepad and find the folder name of the mod in the text:
/Game/Mods/(ModFolderName)

3: Find the dino Blueprint file you are trying to spawn within that folder, for example the classic flyers phoenix is:
895711211/Dinos/Phoenix/Phoenix_Character_BP
(ModIDnumber)/(folder)/(DinoFileName)
There may not be any folders, or there may be more than one folder.

4: Put it together in the format of:
Blueprint'/Game/Mods/(ModFolderName)/(folders)/(DinoFileName).(DinoFileName)'

Example - Classic Flyers Phoenix code is:
Blueprint'/Game/Mods/ClassicFlyers/Dinos/Phoenix/Phoenix_Character_BP.Phoenix_Character_BP'

Thanks for this dark. I have been digging into mod folders for quite some time in my own installation to get the paths. So this helps others I am sure ;)

this isnt easy...
in point 4., you say ModFolderName, can that be the ModID ?
because thats how the mod-folder is named...
take this example from Primal Fear

ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods\839162288\Dinos\Apex\Apex_Argent

am i missing something ?

Spawn codes don't use the mod id, you replace the mod id with the folder name you get from step 2.

Trying to add the paths for ALL the Fear Evolved dinos since they are not on all maps. Example I tried was Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/DodoRex_Character_BP_FearEvolved.DodoRex_Character_BP_FearEvolved and nothing spawned. Thank you

MarniiMods: Wildlife directed me to this mod but didn't give the spawn codes. I followed your instructions on getting the spawn codes and I too got very lost and confused.

Hey, I am really confused on Step 2. Every time I open a modmeta folder it's just blank. Do you have any tips on finding the mod names?

Try this:
Blueprint'/Game/Mods/SCP/Dinos/SCP000/SCPScarletKing_Character_BP.SCPScarletKing_Character_BP'
