Questions About Paid DLC's

The Admin Panel is not a Cheat Mod or a Work Around to get Free Paid DLC's

Even So you can see and Spawn in Such Paid DLC's, You still Can Not Use the Items / Dinos 

Example Shows thats A Fantastic Tame was successfully Spawned in , But came in Wild, and to Tame this Dino You need to Pay for the DLC

This Also Goes for Bobs Tall Tales and Future Paid DLC's from Wild Card

Force Join Tribe Gun

(Make sure your Target is a Actual Tribe, If your Target hasn't created a tribe in game, this will not work)

Take All Dinos Gun

(This gun Takes all Dinos Attached to the Target Tribe over the whole map)

(Again Target Must Have a Tribe created in Game)

Color Dino Gun

Teleporting Options and Custom Save Locations

Teleport option is pre set POI's for each map, Obelisk, Artifacts Ect. This will help you move around the map faster to 

get your Job done as a Admin

You will also notice that we have added the Ability to Save your own Custom Locations, So once you job is done you can quickly 

return back to your Admin Base and or Community Center or where ever your heart desires on the map

 Make your Own , Give the Same Warning to any Staff you Have.
