How to Adjust Growth Speed on The Isle Evrima
Change how fast dinosaurs grow on your The Isle Evrima server using GrowthMultiplier in Game.ini.
Growth speed controls how quickly players progress from hatchling to adult on your server. A higher multiplier means faster growth — useful for keeping players engaged. Here is how to configure it.
Changing Growth Speed
Stop Your Server
Access the XGamingServer Panel and stop your server.
Open Game.ini
Go to Files → /TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
Set the Growth Multiplier
Under [/script/theisle.tigamesession], update GrowthMultiplier:
[/script/theisle.tigamesession]
GrowthMultiplier=2Growth Multiplier Values
| Value | Effect |
|---|---|
0.5 | Half speed — very slow, hardcore/realism servers |
1 | Default — standard growth speed |
2 | 2× speed — popular for active community servers |
5 | 5× speed — fast progression |
10 | Very fast — players reach adult quickly |
20–40 | Extremely fast — nearly instant adult |
Do not set GrowthMultiplier above ~40. Very high values can cause the growth system to break entirely, resulting in dinosaurs that never grow. Stay at or below 40 for reliable behaviour.
Enabling / Disabling Growth
To completely disable growth (all dinosaurs stay at current size):
[/script/theisle.tigamesession]
GrowthMultiplier=0To re-enable, set it back to 1 or your preferred value and restart.
Changing Growth via RCON (Live)
You can change the growth multiplier in real time without restarting using RCON:
setgrowthmultiplier 2.0
togglegrowthmultipliersetgrowthmultiplier [value]— sets a new multiplier immediatelytogglegrowthmultiplier— toggles growth on/off
See the RCON guide for how to connect and run commands.
Tips for Choosing a Growth Rate
| Server Type | Recommended Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Realism / hardcore | 0.5 – 1 |
| Standard community | 1 – 2 |
| Casual / high-traffic | 2 – 5 |
| Event / temp server | 10 – 20 |
A growth rate of 2–3× is the most popular for community servers — fast enough to keep players engaged without making progress feel trivial.
For all Game.ini settings, see the Server Configuration Guide.
