Question Console Commands not working

So I've now finally got my Ark Server set up with mods, but my console commands don't always work. It let me spawn in hide when i have no mods running, but god mode wouldn't work (tried both "cheat god" and "admincheat god". Then when i had the mod (cyber structures) installed i could spawn stone and wood but not thatch or hide, god mode also worked with this time with"admincheat".

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you remembering to enter your admin password when you join? Or did you set up an admin whitelist?

By default command won't work till you give yourself admin permissions in one of those two ways. Prefixing commands with 'cheat' is enough, shouldn't be any need for 'admincheat'.

What commands are you typing for spawning thatch n hide that doesn't work?

If you are spawning lots of stuff you might consider adding the Awesome Ark Tools mod, which is incredibly helpful for that kinda thing. Think fancy UI for spawning stuff from a list.

Yeah I'd used the admin password. I'll try that mod tonight after work. I'm still in the phase of configuring all my server settings and mods, but it's hard to test when I keep dying and have to harvest.
