How to change growth speed and day length on your The Isle server

The IsleUpdated Oct 19, 20263 min read

Open Gameplay in the left menu. In Growth and time, change Growth multiplier to make dinosaurs grow faster or slower, and Day length (minutes) and Night length (minutes) for the day cycle. Click Save changes.

Change them

  1. Open your server in the panel and click Gameplay in the left menu.
  2. In the Growth and time group, change the values you want.
  3. Click Save changes at the bottom right. Discard throws away the changes you have not saved.
The Growth and time group on the Gameplay page

The panel says which settings it applied to the running server now and which apply at the next restart.

The settings

SettingWhat it doesRangeDefaultWhen
Growth multiplierHow fast dinosaurs grow up. 1 is the game's normal speed; most communities stay under 20.0.1 to 1001Live
Day length (minutes)How long the day lasts, in real minutes.1 to 60045Next start
Night length (minutes)How long the night lasts, in real minutes.1 to 60020Next start
Corpse decay speedHow fast bodies rot away. Higher is faster.0.1 to 101Next start

Live means a running server takes the new value straight away. The others apply the next time the server starts, so restart it after saving.

Good to know

  • A value outside the range is refused with That is outside what the game accepts.
  • A faster growth multiplier is popular on small community servers, so new players catch up sooner.
  • Live changes need permission to use the console. Without it, your value is saved for the next start.
  • All gameplay settings: The Isle server settings reference.
