How to choose the playable species on your The Isle server

Open Species in the left menu. Under Playable species, tick the species players may choose and click Save. On a running server the change applies straight away.

Choose the species

1. Open your server in the panel and click Species in the left menu.
2. Under Playable species, each species has its picture and a tick box. Tick the ones players may choose, untick the others.
3. Select all ticks every species. Select none clears the list so you can tick only a few.
4. Click Save.

The card says Every species can be played. or how many species can be played. Pick at least one: the panel does not save an empty list.

When it applies

• Server starting: the panel asks you to wait. Click Save again a few seconds after the Console says it has started.
• Server stopped: the list is saved and applies when it starts.

Ideas for your community

• A herbivore-only or carnivore-only season: untick the other diet.
• A limited roster for an event: select none, then tick the few you want.

Good to know

• Every new server starts with every species playable.
• If nobody can pick a species, see Players cannot choose a species on your The Isle server.
• The Species page needs permission to use the console, and saving the playable species also needs the permissions to read and create files. Owners have all of them.
