  • Soft Tame Server Limit - These changes are still disabled by default on all platforms, but here's a look at what's to come.
  • Implemented a new Soft Tame Server Limit, default value set to 5000 dinos.
  • This functionality is currently DISABLED BY DEFAULT on Official and Unofficial servers, but can be enabled with the configurations further down. We’ll be looking to enable this on our Official Network in later January depending on the impact of cryos on our servers.

  • Dinos marked and dinos destroyed by this system will be logged in the tribe log
  • This differs from the standard tame limit, as it still allows new players to join servers and tame creatures above the 5000 limit, whereas previously, they would not have been able to tame or breed creatures at the server cap.
  • Soft Tame Server Limit configurable settings:
    • GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]

  • When a Cryofridge is placed, they take 5 minutes to "activate"
  • Cryopod can only be released within range of an "activated" and powered Cryofridge (range set to 6500 currently)
  • PVP Only: Cryopod can not be released if there are enemies nearby (range set to 3500 currently)
  • Dinos cannot be cryopodded if damaged within 60 seconds
  • Dino's mating cooldown will now tick down correctly within a cryopod
  • Cryofridge storage capacity has been increased to 120 slots
  • Cryopods can now be queued up when crafting them in supply drops and obelisks (previously was one at a time)
  • Cryopodded dinos can be stored and displayed on the Display Case structure
  • Cryopod configurable settings:
    GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
    DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=True - will ignore the enemy player/structure/dino checks
    AllowCryoFridgeOnSaddle=True - will allow Cryofridge to be placed on rafts/saddles
    DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement=True - will disable the Cryofridge requirement for releasing cryopodded dinos
