Metal Spawn Command
If you’re having trouble finding Metal in Ark Genesis, you can use spawn commands to have this item spawn in your inventory. To do this, you must open the cheat console by pressing the TAB key on your keyboard.
If you’re playing on PlayStation, you’ll need to hold down L1, R1, Square, and Triangle at once, and similarly, on Xbox, hold down LB, RB, X, and Y at once. Once the console opens, simply type in: “cheat giveitemnum 9 1 0 0” and hit enter to add this resource directly to your inventory.
If you come across a situation where the command does not work, try resetting your system or game.
