DestroyWildDinos Console Command
DestroyWildDinos Command
This command removes all untamed creatures on the map. It's beneficial for facilitating the spawn of newly-introduced creatures.
In-Depth Description
The DestroyWildDinos command in Ark: Survival Evolved eliminates all wild dinosaurs in the game. As the name implies, this console command wipes out every wild dinosaur currently existing on the map. However, it doesn't affect tamed dinosaurs.
When the command is used, all wild dinosaurs in the game will be completely eradicated. Then, after a while, new dinosaurs will start to spawn again naturally, following the normal spawning rules.
There are two mains cases when this command can be particularly helpful:
-
Overpopulation: Sometimes on a server, certain dinosaur species can overpopulate, which can cause other species to become scarce or even disappear. Using this command can sort the balance out by essentially resetting the dino population.
-
Stuck Dinosaurs: Wild dinosaurs might get stuck in the terrain or in player-made structures. Running the command can help solve this issue.
