To spawn items in Ark you need to be logged in as admin:
You can setup your steam id within the server settings, or you need your admin password.
Ingame hit TAB to open the console, type in: "enablecheats PASSWORD" (PASSWORD being your server admin password of course).

You won't get any notification, but if you hit enter and type something in chat, you should see an admin star next to your name now. So far so good.

To spawn items, there are 2 ways:
Item ID and Blueprint Path.
Mods always use Blueprint Paths, that's why it's sometimes a bit annoying to find the codes.

To spawn items you need the admin command "giveitem", it will be followed by the path to the blueprint and 3 numbers, usually 1 1 0.

The first number is the AMOUNT of items you want to spawn.
The second number is the QUALITY LEVEL of the item you want to spawn.
The third number defines if you get an item or a blueprint.


So, if you want to spawn 30 of something you need to enter:
"cheat giveitem "PATH" 30 1 0"
This gives you 30 items of quality level 1 as items

If you want to get a high quality item, change the second number, eg to quality level 2:
"cheat giveitem "PATH" 1 2 0"
This gives you 1 item of quality level 2 as item

If you want to get a blueprint of an item, change the third number from 0 to 1:
"cheat giveitem "PATH" 1 1 1"
This gives you 1 item of quality level 1 as blueprint


Thats all the magic.

So, I admit I tested if the codes are working, and they all are...
...but still, the spawned items wont work. Can't put the powder in the torches nor can I use ressources to craft stuff.
Well, I tried. if anyone has an idea how to get the spawned stuff to work, shoot.
