There are a few situations, in which an adminstrator is forced to cheat on his own server. Some examples: repairing something destroyed by a bug, recover items, track down misbehaving users or just testing the server. This is a list of commands, which can be used to cheat in the game. You need to enter them using an usb keyboard or the on screen keyboard in the PS4 console window.

ARK: Survival Evolved has finally left early access and is a full release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Here's whether or not the PS4 version has mods.

| SetGraphicsQuality <Quality> | Self | Quality | Graphics quality. | Sets your client’s graphics quality.

This command is a general command that affects many different graphics settings, all of which will be set to the new value (rounding if necessary). This command does not change the quality to the graphics presets, which are generally much better to use. The table below lists the approximate corresponding graphics qualities. | |

| Suicide | Self | None | Kills yourself. Does the same thing as hurting yourself (see HurtMe command) for your current health, so it will not work if you are invincible. Was originally part of the game when it came out, but it was removed in a later patch. Since then it was re-added (it’s easier to type than the HurtMe command). | ||
| Summon <type> | Self | type | Spawn a creature of the specified type in front of the player character. | ||

| Stat fps | |||||
| ShowMyAdminManager | Self | None | Opens the admin manager GUI, which gives you easy access to a number of useful admin things. It shows your player’s current position, some useful server info, key server configurations, a list of currently logged in players, a list of banned players, a list of whitelisted players, allows you to modify the MoTD, and shows you a list of a good amount (but not all) admin commands. | ||
| If you select a player in the connected player’s list, you can easily copy their UE4 player ID (a 10 digit number) into a command’s parameters for commands that require a player ID. Supposedly you should also be able to copy their Int64 encoded Steam ID for commands that require it, but it seems to be broken at the moment. Use the ListPlayers command or grep the server’s save files to get a player’s Int64 encoded Steam ID. ShowMyAdminManager | |||||
