How Does Bob's Tales work on a Private Server?
I have my own server computer. Myself and 8 other family/friends play on it. But for each of us to buy Bob's Tales its would cost a total of $300. #1 Do I need to buy it for my server in order for it to include all the events and extra DLC as well as have everyone one else buy it too? Or is it more like Conan Exiles where if My server buys it and one other person buys it, the items can be crafted and dropped to friends as well a them being able to access the events as it would be on the Server. Or is it fully locked and each person would have to purchase Bob's Tales to have access? #2 I realize that Bob's Tales engrams show up for everyone but if I buy it without having the server buy it does that change the way the server handles the DLC? Sorry for all the questions, this style of DLC is new to me.

I think the assets still show up in the SE update. You do need the DLC to use them though.

Yes they do. I am aware of that. What I am asking is how A Server would need to implement the DLC on it's own as well as each player on my server in order to access to the full DLC. I asked a lot of questions, I apologize for being unclear.

each person that owns it can use it, those who do not cannot.
if you put a cowboy hat skin on a helmet, someone without the DLC cannot use it until the skin in removed.
it is hard baked into the core game so there is nothing to activate on your private server.

Will the giant dino we see advertised spawn on my private server?

So the Oasisaur will Spawn even though the server does NOT have the mod?

The big creature is included with scorched earth. To actually tame it, you'll need to buy the Dlc...I think.

Probably like it works everywhere else so far, about as well as glass based lubricant.

Confirmed UNLESS YOU OWN BTT, OASISAUR IS JUST FOR SHOW.
Lookee no touchee. Paywalled, like the Anomolocarys, and like I expect most dino's will be from now on. Just wait til it comes to PVP and only people cowed enough to shill out another $30 will have the advantage of reviving tames. Good times.

Oh and if you Forctame it, you get none of it's effects and it starves in 3 hours regardless of settings.
