Anyone know how to Dino Wipe?

[Krachtoffel]

I played a bit yesterday but had my settings wrong so the dinos are all low level. I fixed that now but I would like to DinoWipe so that the high level dinos can actually spawn in.
I know that you can open the cheats Menu with " shift + . " but I cant find the Dino Wipe cheat.

Just tested, old

"cheat DestroyWildDinos"

works for me. So console commands seem to not have changed much.

go to settings then advanced on the left side should be a console acces option, also make sure to set the console acces to a keybiind you want.

Tilda ` works normally for me.

I launch Ark with "No battleeye" option, since I do not care for offcial servers. That may be why it works for me, but not for you.

It's the old problem of english keyboard layouts on german systems. You have to rebind most of it, manually, because in the year 2023, game devs are still unknown of different regions having different key layouts...

It should not affect dino spawn, aside from bees(not sure if old hive bugs were fixed so far)

Normally dinos take some time to repopulate, they also do not spawn in direct area player is in, until players moves away. Travel some distance from where you`re, and see if there`s any dinos already. Fish in the rivers is also a good indicator that spawning is working correctly,

thanks i assumed they would just respawn in same spot

Any of you know why mine won’t work even after I Dino wipe they’re still low level even though I upped the Dino difficulty. They’re all still like level 50 and below. I have difficulty set to 1 and max level on but still nothing spawn at a high level.

High level dinos are quite rare on Island map. Dino wipe in no way guarantees new spawn will be high level.
Difficulty 1+ max level set dino level increment to 5, meaning that wild dinos can spawn with levels from a minimum of 5 to a max of 150.

Story map do not skip any of intermediate levels, so you have an equal chance of dinos spawning at any level with given increment. Non story maps skip some increments, making both very low and very high levels more likely.

Yeah, having 1252352356 different gender options in your games is obviously a much more important issue, eh?
