How to kill all wild dinos on server restart?

[Gubbaa]

As the title states, how do I automatically kill all wild dinos whenever there is a server restart?

[margalus]

Use the console command

destroywilddinos

You can do a command when you log in. But for it to happen automatically idk.

In your launcher you can try adding -destroywilddinos as one of the launch options. Worked in v254 of the game, havn't tested it in v255 or upcoming v256.

^ in the config file ( i think) is where the kill all wild dinos option is. enable this then leave the server running for 15-20 min. shut down and remove the option. Restart and enjoy all the new dinos!

Relaunching with this command to destroy all wild creatures to flush out NPC’s to new Biome configurations. (this will only destroy wild creatures that are NOT currently being tamed

I can explain how to do this for Linux using ark-server-tools... We have this set to daily every morning.

so i just add that into the command line argument to start the server right?

Yup, that should do it if you use a .Bat to launch the server like I do. I believe either command will work but use the one with confirmed documentation.

Use the "destroywilddinos" command! So you dont have to upüload and so far ...
