How to change creature and plant settings on your The Isle server

The IsleUpdated Oct 19, 20263 min read

Open Gameplay in the left menu and change the Creatures and plants group, then click Save changes. AI creatures and AI density change a running server straight away.

Change them

Open your server in the panel and click Gameplay in the left menu.
In Creatures and plants, change the values you want.
Click Save changes.

The settings

Setting	What it does	Range	Default	When
AI creatures	Spawn the creatures that are not players: deer, boars, compys and the like.	On or off	On	Live
AI density	How many AI creatures spawn. 1 is normal; lower it on a full server to save memory.	0 to 2	1	Live
AI spawn interval (seconds)	Seconds between waves of AI creatures.	1 to 3600	40	Next start
Plants	Edible plants spawn on the map.	On or off	On	Next start
Plant spawn multiplier	How many plants spawn. 1 is normal.	0.1 to 10	1	Next start

Good to know

To keep only some AI creatures off the map, use the Species page: How to stop AI creatures spawning on your The Isle server.
Herbivores need plants. Switching Plants off makes life hard for them.
If your server is short of memory with many players, lower AI density first. See How much RAM does a The Isle server need?
