How do I enter admin commands in Ark: Survival Evolved?
To use the Ark administration command, you must first open the console. This can be done by pressing the TAB key. If that doesn’t work, you should quickly make changes to the game’s .ini file. Go to:
Steam\SteamApps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini
Open DefaultInput.ini with Word Pad or similar. Scroll down the document to find the line “+ConsoleKeys=Tab”. There will be a semicolon (;) before the line. Delete this, save the .ini file and the console should now work in-game.
Many commands will require the “Enable Cheats” command to be used first, along with the “Enable Player Cheats” command. Be sure to use them before trying other commands.
And there you have it, these are the Ark management commands you need to customize your favorite survival game just the way you like it. As you can see, there are many changes you can make to move on to the right things and have a better time in this pastoral and fun world.
