The Dino list is populated on map load and again on an interval as set in the World Scan Interval field. Both the world's spawners and the world itself are searched for tameable creatures.

Updated settings are not retroactive. Edits will only affect any new creatures that start being Immersive Tamed.

Immersive Taming Settings can be edited via -

1) Console Commands - SP and Local Host only.

admincheat ScriptCommand ITSettings - Opens the Immersive Taming settings menu
admincheat ScriptCommand ITUpdate - Checks the world for new dinos.
admincheat ScriptCommand ITReset - Resets Immersive Taming settings to default, and repopulates default bait preferences.

2) Taming Journal - Any session type if a server admin.

Accessed via the radial menu. Options to review, edit, update and reset Immersive Taming settings.

The Taming Journal also allows non admins to see the current Immersive Taming settings. This is helpful for servers that use custom setups.

All of the following information can be reviewed in the Help tab or tooltips of the menu itself.

Save files can be found under -

Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\SaveGames\ImmersiveTamingSettings.sav

Save files allow settings to be easily shared between players or clusters.
