Admin command to destroy connected structures?
I've looked in several admin command lists, but can't seem to find a command that suits this purpose.

To be clear, what I'm looking for is an admin command that allows me to destroy the targeted structure, as well as all structures connected to the targeted structure.

On that note, I also can't find a command which allows me to destroy all structures owned by a specific player.

You could force yourself into that tribe, then demolish normally.
Not ideal but may be more efficient.

Nope. It doesn't exist (yet).

For now you'll just have to cheat giveallstructure and demolish each piece. Start with the foundations and the rest of the structure will come crashing down.

There is no command like this. There are some mods for admins that can help you destroy structures more quickly.

That's a shame. It's a lot more time consuming that way.

I'll look into this. Would save me a lot of time compared to manuallly demolishing structures.

Thanks for the feedback.

You can also forcetame an alpha rex and chomp everything.

you can "cheat giveallstructure" to gain ownership of everything connected to the structure you target, but you still have to destroy each part individually. Though doing this can make it much faster since you can destroy the foundations.

still annoying.

Yup, this is what I'm doing at the moment. Unfortunately in some cases, like pillars supporting bridges, taking them out requires me to demolish each structure individually. Not just the foundation. Very time consuming.

Leave your tribe and create a new temp one. "cheat GiveAllStructure" to obtain the building to destroy. leave the temp tribe and return to your own using "cheat forceplayertojointargettribe <Your id>", or "cheat forceplayertojointribe <Your id> <Your tribeid>". Then use "cheat destroytribestructures" while looking at the structure.
It's sounds like a lengthy ordeal, but is better than tearing down piece by piece, especially if you don't have "NoFoundationsRequired True" in GameUserSettings.ini like I do with StructuresPlus. Or if you are trying to wipe a half finished project of your own, that is too big to remove piece by piece. Hope that helps.

"cheat destroytribestructures" Destroys all instances of the structures of the tribe you are currently looking at. Should destroy the ones person's structure. Unless you mean in a tribe, to destroy what just one of the "tribesmen" built, but not everybody's. For that, I don't know.

Ouch, that is an old thread but there are commands for that:

cheat destroymytarget = destroy target you are looking at,
cheat destroystructures = destroy all structures on the map,
cheat destroytribedinos = destroy all dinos owned by targeted tribe,
cheat destroytribestructures = destroy all structures owned by the targeted tribe.

you can also do cheat killaoe structures 1400 0 0 (1400 is the radius and it is not that big) it will destroy everything in that radius(structure), you can change the radius to smaller or bigger.
