Options for Command Line ONLY

-allcores deprecated option to utilize all available server cores
-AllowAnyoneBabyImprintCuddle=true Use this if you want ANYONE to be able to “take care” of a Baby Dino (cuddle etc), not just whomever Imprinted on it.
-ClearOldItems Official PvP servers one-time Clearance of all old unequipped items (with the exception of blueprints, eatables, notes, and quest items), to ensure fairness after Item Duplication bug exploit. Server admins can enforce this once if they run with this command argument (will only work ONCE on pre-update save games) Patch 178.0
-culture=en You can also directly override the language by using this commandline
-d3d10 The game is forced to use DX10 instead of DX11 by sm4. Be sure to launch it accurately, you are not going to miss out on anything. Only for Windows
-DisableImprintDinoBuff=true Use this to disable the Dino Imprinting-Player Stat Bonus, if you don’t like it (where whomever specifically imprinted on the Dino, and Raised it to have an Imprinting Quality, gets extra Damage/Resistance buff)
-EnableIdlePlayerKick Cause characters that have not moved or interacted within the KickIdlePlayersPeriod to be kicked.
-EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=true Use this to completely disable building in specific resource-rich areas, in particular setup on TheIsland around the major mountains.

-gameplaylogging Survival of the Fittest servers can launch with this commandline option to output a dated log file to \Saved folder, which will contain a timestamped kill & winners log listing steam id, steam name, character name, etc. Handy for automatic Tournament recordsā€¦
-insecure Disable Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) system. Only possible on Windows Servers
-lowmemory Launch options that reduces graphics and audio effects to save about 800 MB RAM, likely enabling 4GB RAM players to get past infinite-loading screens
-MapModID=######### Dedicated servers can now optionally load custom maps via ModID diectly, rather than having to specify the map name directly, using this syntax (where the MapModID is the Steam Workshop FileID of your custom map, and the GameModIds are the Idā€™s of the stacked mods you wish to use, in order)
-noantispeedhack Anti speedhack detection is now enabled by default ā€” to disable it, use this server commandline
-nocombineclientmoves Server player-move-physics optimization is now enabled by default (improves perf) ā€” to disable it, use this server commandline
-noninlinesaveload Fixed a savegame corruption case with large savegames: this is experimental, so try with this command, if you have any saves that donā€™t load. Weā€™ll formally roll this loader change out in a subsequent patch after weā€™re 100% certain it has no side effects.
-nomansky Lots of detailed sky features are disabled, such as clouts and starry night sky. This decreases all of those but you can still have them. You still obtain the stars, the sun, and the moon. This just helps you remove the sparkling stars that make you sightless at night

-PreventOfflinePvP=true Use this to enable the offline raiding prevention option.

-server deprecated option for server mode
-sm4 The game is forced to use Shader Model 4 instead of the Shader Model 5 as usual. Well, there is no much difference, the game still looks and feels the same, but you can obtain better performance (Windows only?) (reported to increase frames but changes the game lighting). Only Windows
-StructureDestructionTag=DestroySwampSnowStructures One-Time Auto-Structure Demolish on Swamp and Snow Zones: To do this, which you can only execute once after updating to v216, run your server or game with this commandline
-USEALLAVAILABLECORES All of your CPU cores will be used, if all of them are not being utilized after using this launch option, then try to disable it!
-UseBattlEye Enables Battleye
-usecache ~70% faster loading speed option. Choose ā€œExperiment Fast Load Cacheā€ launch option (use add ā€œ-usecacheā€ to your launch commandline manually). After the first & second times that you start the game & load will be still be slow, but the third time onwards will be fast. This is testing a new caching method. If it works well, will then ship with the prebuilt cached files so that itā€™ll always be fast even first-time, and weā€™ll do this for all the maps as well.
-vday Activate Valentineā€™s Day Event

Dino Dossier: Baryonyx

CommonĀ Name: Baryonyx
Species: Baryonyx Aquafulgur
Time: Early Cretaceous
Diet: Piscivorous
Temperament: Passive to land creatures, but aggressive to water-dwellers
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes
  • Wild: Like the Carnotaurus, Baryonyx Aquafulgur is on the smaller end of the tier of large predators. While not as powerful as some deep-sea predators or Spinosaurus, Baryonyx is an extremely fast swimmer who is still nimble enough to threaten most creatures on the island.
  • Domesticated: Baryonyx's natural affinity for aquatic predation means that once tamed, it learn to kill ocean dwellers even more efficiently. Between its speed and its power, Baryonyx makes an ideal choice for anyone interested in frequently moving between water and land travel with ease, and valuing speed and agility over raw strength.
  • Known Information: And yet despite being a fast, dangerous dinosaur, Baryonyx almost exclusively eats fish and other water-dwellers. The highly specific metabolism of Baryonyx seems to allow it to heal wounds almost preternaturally fast after feeding on nutritious fish meat. Perhaps this is why Baryonyx rarely attacks land animals?

Dino Dossier: Beelzebufo (Frog)

CommonĀ Name: Beelzebufo
Species: Beelzebufo Palucocus
Time: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Languorous
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes
  • Wild: Beelzebufo Palucocus is the largest frog I've ever seen. Almost impossibly large, it can actually fit a full grown human adult on its back, though just barely. This is a dangerous prospect, though, as secretions from Beelzebufo's skin and saliva have a narcotic effect on most creatures.
  • Domesticated: Tamed Beelzebufo make for strange mounts. Strange mounts for strange people. Many tribes don't believe there's any reason to ride them. But some like the ability to take large vertical hops up huge walls and cliffs. Regardless of how it is ridden, Beelzebufo is also employed for its ability to quickly cull insects, and convert them into always-useful cementing paste.
  • Known Information: Not surprisingly, Beelzebufo is adept at killing insects. In fact, it kills most insects near-instantly, and quickly digests them. It even combines the narcotic chemicals in its mouth with the insects' chitin to create a sticky substance, allowing it to quickly grab prey from afar, and yielding a form of cementing paste.

Dino Dossier: Megatherium

CommonĀ Name: Megatherium
Species: Megatherium Formipavor
Time: Late Pleocene-Early Holocene
Diet: Omnivore, but primarily Herbivore
Temperament: Passive, but aggressive to insects
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Ā ?
  • Wild: Megatherium Formipavor is one of the larger mammals on the island. This is most shocking because it is essentially a giant sloth... if you crossbred it with an elephant and a bear! Because of its size and girth, the Megatherium is uncommonly resistant to being knocked unconscious.
  • Domesticated: Megatherium is an incredibly useful creature to tame, so long as you don't intend to fight other tribes. Its enormity, high resistance to torpor, and voracious attitude toward insects (and arachnids) makes it ideal for farming large quantities of chitin from the bugs of the island, or simply defending against them!
  • Known Information: Despite primarily being an herbivore, a typical Megatherium is very intent on consuming the island's many insects. It is particularly adept at removing their insides without damaging the shell, maximizing extraction of chitin. The otherwise slow and peaceful Megatherium becomes faster and more aggressive in the presence of these creatures.

Dino Dossier: Tusoteuthis

CommonĀ Name: Tusoteuthis
Species: Tusoteuthis Vampyrus
Time: Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Aggressive
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Unknown
  • Wild: Tusoteuthis Vampyrus is a very aggressive water predator. Approximately 30 feet long, Tusoteuthis is a terror of the deep. Once it grabs its prey, it slowly crushes it into submission while using the talons on its tentacles to siphon and drain the victim of blood!
  • Known Information: Tusoteuthis is a terrifying opponent for several reasons. Firstly, its grab slowly renders its victim unconscious, so death isn't the first concern. Secondly, its vampiric blood drain instantly revitalizes it even during combat. And finally, if Tusoteuthis is losing a fight, it sprays a cloud of ink into the water around it, blinding its attacker to cover a sneaky escape.
  • Domesticated: One of the major benefits of taming Tusoteuthis is harvesting its ink. Unlike normal ink, Tusoteuthis' ink is very oily, and can even be refined into fuels such as gasoline. Between that and Tusoteuthis' distinctive combat abilities, it makes for an excellent aquatic tame, despite its slow swimming speed.

Dino Dossier: Giganotosaurus

The Giganotosaurus will be a very big dinosaur, based on the indominus rex of Jurassic World. If you want to tame it in the future: start collecting narcotics, now. You will need them

CommonĀ Name: Giganotosaurus
Species: Giganotosaurus furiosa
Time: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Angry
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes
  • Wild: Giganotosaurus furiosa is an enormous predator, larger even than the Tyrannosaurus or Spinosaurus. While greater in size than those storied predators, it can be somewhat less dangerous when encountered in the wild, due to its sluggish speed. Even still, getting cornered or run down by a Giganotosaurus means certain death for nearly any creature.
  • Domesticated: Taming Giganotosaurus is a dangerous prospect. Its rage reaction, even when tamed, can sometimes cause it to briefly turn on members of its own tribe. Indeed it may even throw off its rider if it has been sufficiently angered! And yet, the sheer size and immense power that the Giganotosaurus possesses means that some factions endeavor to tame it as a fear-inducing "capital" best of war -- even at great risk!
  • Known Information: Fighting a Giganotosaurus directly is never a good idea, as its rage rapidly grows with every hit it takes. With this rage, it builds increasing reserves of energy to use, making its iron-jawed bites progressively more deadly and enhancing its stamina. Add to this the fact that its huge body enables it to take a tremendous amount of punishment, and you have a creature that is generally better avoided or outsmarted than attacked head-on.
