The IsleUpdated Oct 19, 20263 min read

Open Gameplay in the left menu and change the switches in Players and chat, then click Save changes. Humans and Global chat change a running server straight away; the rest apply at the next start.

Change them

Open your server in the panel and click Gameplay in the left menu.
In Players and chat, switch the settings on or off.
Click Save changes. Restart the server for the settings that are not marked Live.

Setting	What it does	Default	When
Diets	Dinosaurs need a balanced diet.	On	Next start
Mutations	Dinosaurs can gain mutations. Which ones is chosen on the Species page.	On	Next start
Humans	Allow human characters.	Off	Live
Global chat	Lets players chat with the whole server, not only nearby players.	Off	Live
Join queue	When the server is full, players wait in a queue instead of being turned away.	On	Next start
Allow replays	Lets players record replays on this server.	Off	Next start

Good to know

With Join queue on, VIPs skip the queue: How to add VIPs to your The Isle server.
Mutations in detail: How to turn mutations on or off on your The Isle server.
