How do you spawn loot Crates/SupplyCrates
You’re in the wrong page. Go to http://www.playjurassicark.com/2015/06/ark-item-id-list-for-administrators/ for items and spawnables. Towards the bottom of that page, there is a list called “Supply Crates/Beacons”. There you should find what you’re looking for.
how do you light a feeatherlight or any glowing animals
They are called Charged Light creatures. They will automatically replenish light as long as you nourish it. I believe you press and hold E on the glowing animal and there will be an option to turn the light on.
Is there a command to make your character invisible?
Only one I know is: hideriders true
However this could hide all riders on the server, not just you.
Can u pls add that to the list ?
Sure 🙂
I do the command to unlock scorched earth it does the credits but doesn’t unlock it. can you help killercon?
What do you mean unlock Scorched Earth? What command are you referring to? If you are referring to the Ascend command, please read my reply below to your last comment.
Ascend3 wont work for me I’m on Xbox one S
I don’t think it works for Xbox One S yet. Also keep in mind that the command is case sensitive so be sure to capitalize the “A”. So it should be: playercommand Ascend3
Is there a command to be I’m creative in a online server?
Did you mean creative mode? If so then yes. If you own your own server, you can simply type: cheat GiveCreativeMode
