PlayersOnly Command

cheat PlayersOnly

This command stops all creature movement in the game world and pauses crafting. Players remain unaffected and can move as usual. Enter the command again to reverse its effects.

In-Depth Description

The PlayersOnly command is a useful command that freezes all in-game actions except for those performed by players.

This means that, while the command is active, all creatures (dinosaurs, for example) and certain mechanics (decay of perishable items, for example) will be in a suspended state - they will neither move nor change.

This command can be helpful in a variety of scenarios. One such scenario is when a server's admin, or any player in single-player mode, needs to troubleshoot a problem in the game without having to deal with possible disruptions caused by in-game creatures or time-sensitive processes.

For example, if you're building a complex structure and want to ensure it's perfectly constructed without worrying about dinosaurs interrupting or perishable items decaying, you might find this command very beneficial. It allows for a period of uninterrupted focus on the task at hand.

To use it, you simply input PlayersOnly into the console command line. To resume normal game action, just input the same command again.
