Each creature in Ark: Survival Ascended is pretty unique in design and ability, and they all have their own ID in the game's code that corresponds to them. What can you do with these ID codes? A whole lot of things, thanks to the game's Admin Command console.

Grinding is more fun with dinosaurs.
PostsThe main thing you'll end up using them for is spawning in wild or pre-tamed creatures, which can be pretty useful if you want to do some damage-number testing, spawn in some dinosaurs for a PVE or PVP event, get a head-start on a single-player map, or just replace a fallen dinosaur that you really miss.
How To Use Dinosaur IDs
As Ark: Survival Ascended is still in Early Access, the information presented in this article may be subject to change.
Dinosaur IDs are mainly used for various commands via the Admin Command console, which can be accessed in a few different ways, depending on your platform of choice:
Platform
Access Command
PC
Press TAB on your keyboard.
PS5
Press Square, Triangle, L1, and R1 at the same time
Xbox Series X/S
Press X, Y, LB, and RBat the same time.
Having Admin Commands active gives you an additional interface in the menu for inputting different commands, which can spawn in Wild or Tamed Dinosaurs, change your Hairstyle, or access cheat modes such as God Mode, to name a few.
There are over 200 commands that can be inputted into Admin Commands.
