First place the start waypoint.
From the waypoint you add one sub waypoint and place it everywhere you whish by pressing the USE key while looking at the waypoint. You can add only one waypoint at a time from each waypoint. You won't find the waypoint in your inventory, it is a virtual item while placing it in the world. Add and place more waypoints for a patrol route. By using the radial menu of a waypoint you can also insert a waypoint before the selected waypoint instead of adding it after this waypoint.
For flyers you can set the waypoint to a height waypoint from the radial menu and then you are able set a height for this waypoint from a new radial menu.
If you place the waypoint in water, you can choose any height you want in the water.

To add a dino to this route bring the dino near a node of the route.
Using the dinos radial menu, you will see two new menu entries:
"Start patrolling" and "Remove from Patrol".
Choose "Start patrolling" and the dino follows the next waypoint and continues his patrol endlessly.
If you want to set a "Start waypoint" and the dino is already set to another "Start waypoint", remove the old route using the radial menu on the dino.

There are a lot more radial menu entries for setting up a waypoint: see below and feel free to try it out

While placing the waypoint be sure that your patrolling dinos are able to reach the placed waypoints.

You can choose each tamed creature.
By removing the "START" waypoint (can be picked up) all connected waypoints are also removed.

The waypoints cannot be damaged by other players or dinos. The waypoints does not block any resource spawn.
The waypoints do not have any collision, they are only visual structures.

1. Each waypoint can be switched to a height waypoint with 7 different heights.
   
2. Stasis prevention: you need to enable this in ini (see below)
   Each tamed dino assigned to this route can be set to prevent stasis and gets a new radial menu option: Prevent stasis/Allow stasis.
   What does this mean? Dinos are patrolling without a player in range.
   BE WARNED: DISABLING STASIS CAN RESULT IN LAGS.
   To enable the stasis prevention add this to your GameUserSettings.ini
   
   [DinoPatrol] AllowNoStasis=True
3. Radial menu:
   Submenus for behaviour, visuals and type.
   
   • Behaviour menu:
     
     1. Stop here: The dino will stop at this waypoint. Let the dino continue its patrolling by switching to Start on the dinos radial menu.
        
     2. Pause Time: 6 different pause times. The dino will stop at this waypoint as long as the pause is set.
        
     3. Enable wandering: Only available if a pause time 10 seconds or higher is set. The dino will be wandering as long as the pause time is set.
        
   • Visuals menu:
     
     1. The appearance of each waypoint can be set to one of five different meshes:
        Stone, flower, mushroom, shell and flag. The height waypoint is a nice red balloon or a box kite.
        Waypoint placed in water can only be set to the underwater meshes: the flag, a sea mine, a crate, or a dead piranha. This underwater waypoint can also be set as a height waypoint.
        
     2. Show/Hide waypoint: option to set the visibility of the waypoint. The HUD text is always be shown while standing near to the waypoint.
        
     3. Show/Hide route: the complete trailing route can be hidden or shown.
        
     4. Trail color: each trail part can be set to one of five colors.
        
     5. Visible to Tribe/All: the complete route can be hidden to non tribe players.
        
     6. Hide/Show all waypoints: All waypoints of this route can be hidden/shown at once (but the waypoints set individually hidden won't be shown)
        An assigned dino also has a radial menu entry to Show/Hide the complete route.
        
   • Type menu:
     
     1. Change to height waypoint: The waypoint visual changes to a red balloon with a initial height of 500.
        
     2. Change height: The height waypoint can be set to one of seven different heights.
        

Example scenario for a harvesting dino:
1. Place the START waypoint and set it to STOP and rename it to START or what ever you want.
2. Add a new waypoint near some rocks to harvest. On this waypoint set the PAUSE TIME to let's say 5 minutes and then set active ENABLE WANDERING (this option is only visible, if a pause time other than standard is chosen).
You may rename the waypoint to HARVEST POINT (example).
3. Move your tamed doedicurus to the START waypoint and on the dino choose START PATROLLING.
4. The doedicurus will walk to the first waypoint and then begin his harvesting while wandering around. After 5 minutes the doedicurus returns to the START waypoint and stops his patrol. Empty his inventory and choose again START PATROLLING on the dinos radial menu.
