How to Adjust Growth Speed on Your The Isle Evrima Server
Tune dinosaur growth speed on your The Isle Evrima server using GrowthMultiplier — from realism-slow to ultra-fast event speeds.
GrowthMultiplier controls how quickly players progress from hatchling to adult on your server. This is one of the most-tweaked settings — different communities want very different growth speeds.
Change Growth Speed
Stop the server
In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and stop the server.
Set the multiplier
Under [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]:
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
GrowthMultiplier=2Save and start
Click Save Content and start from Console.
Change growth without restarting using RCON:
setgrowthmultiplier 2.0To toggle growth completely on/off:

|---|---|---|
0.5 | Half speed — very slow | Realism / hardcore servers |
1 | Default | Standard growth speed |
2 | 2× speed | Active community servers (most popular) |
5 | 5× speed | Casual / fast progression |
10 | Very fast | Players reach adult quickly |
20–40 | Extremely fast | Event servers, near-instant adult |
Warning: Do not set

Recommended Settings by Server Type
| Server Type | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Realism / hardcore | 0.5 – 1 |
| Standard community | 1 – 2 |
| Casual / high-traffic | 2 – 5 |
| Event / temporary | 10 – 20 |
A multiplier of 2–3 is the most popular for community servers — fast enough to keep players engaged without making progress feel trivial.
