How To Enable The Command Console
Before you can use commands, you will need to enable the command console. This is a simple process that you only have to do once though.
To do this, head to the main menu of the game, navigating to the Advanced tab of the Settings menu.
From here, you should see "Console Access" in the lefthand column. By default, this will say "Off", but by clicking on it, it will turn to "On". With this set, you can exit the menu and go back to the game.
How To Open The Command Console
With the command console enabled, you will now need to open it. This displays an area that you can put cheats into.
To do this, simply press '~' (this is the tilde button). When you do this, a command console will open, allowing you to type cheats. The bar itself is quite tiny; in the image above, you can see the command console enabled at the bottom of the screen.

Item ID Vs. Blueprint Path
There are a lot of variables mentioned above, with many of them representing the same thing. Two variables like this are "itemNumber" and "blueprintpath".
The "itemNumber" refers to an item's specific number ID. For example, the ID for Chitin Leggings is 27. To summon one pair of leggings at the lowest quality, you would use the following command.
- giveitemnum 27 1 1 true
By setting "forceblueprint" to "true", you will also unlock this blueprint on the Engram tree. If false, the item will remain locked, and you will need to use your own Engram points to unlock it if you want to craft manually.
Blueprint paths are a bit more complex to use, and aren't necessary for every situation, however they can be helpful if you are playing with certain mods. If you were to summon the same Chitin Leggins with this code, you would use the following command.
- giveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Chitin/PrimalItemArmor_ChitinPants.PrimalItemArmor_ChitinPants'" 1 1 true
At ArkIDs, you can find a complete list of every item number in the game.
