The Isle RCON Command Reference
Complete The Isle Evrima RCON command reference. 27 commands across 6 categories (Communication, Moderation, Info, Server, World, Admin) with exact comma-separated syntax, opcodes, arguments, and examples. Evrima is RCON-only — every admin action runs through here.
Every The Isle Evrima RCON command, organized + searchable
The Isle Evrima dropped in-game admin consoles — every admin action runs through RCON. That means to kick a player, announce a restart, toggle AI, wipe corpses, or change the growth multiplier live, you need an RCON client connected with the right port + password from your Game.ini. This reference lists all 27 documented RCON commands with exact syntax, the opcode (for RCON libraries that need the raw hex), required vs optional arguments, and copy-paste examples.
Unique Evrima quirk: arguments are COMMA-separated inside the command, not space-separated. `directmessage 76561198000000000,Hey there` — with the comma between the SteamID and the message. Get this wrong and the RCON server returns an error or silently ignores. Every command in this reference has the exact syntax format.
Six categories. Communication (announce, directmessage, toggleglobalchat). Moderation (ban, kick, togglewhitelist, addwhitelist, removewhitelist). Info (playerlist, getplayerdata, serverdetails, getqueuestatus, getplayables). Server (save, pause, togglenetupdatedistancechecks, custom). World (toggleai, aidensity, disableaiclasses, toggleailearning, togglemigrations, wipecorpses, togglegrowthmultiplier, setgrowthmultiplier). Admin (updateplayables, togglehumans).
Compatible with every standard RCON client — mcrcon, rcon-cli, BattleMetrics, RustAdmin, Evrima-RCON-specific tools like The Isle Manager and modernham's Evrima server tools. Most libraries need the opcode; we list every opcode we could verify. Commands without a documented opcode use the text-protocol command string (supported by most clients).
Set up RCON on your server using the companion <a href="/tools/the-isle/server-config">Server Config Generator</a> — generate Game.ini with bRconEnabled=True, RconPort (default 8888), RconPassword. Restart the server, connect your RCON client, paste any command from this reference. Works on XGamingServer hosting by default (RCON is exposed on the same port range as the game).
The Isle RCON Command Reference — FAQ
How do I connect to an Evrima server via RCON?
Use any RCON client (mcrcon, rcon-cli, BattleMetrics, Evrima-specific tools). Connect to your server's IP + RconPort (from Game.ini), authenticate with RconPassword. Once connected, send any command from this reference. The server responds with command output or a confirmation/error.
Why are RCON arguments comma-separated instead of space-separated?
Evrima's RCON protocol uses commas between arguments inside a single command, not spaces. So it's `directmessage 76561198000000000,Hello world` (comma between the SteamID and message), not `directmessage 76561198000000000 Hello world`. Most other games use spaces — this is Evrima-specific.
What's the opcode in each command?
The raw hex byte Evrima's RCON protocol uses for that command when speaking the binary protocol. Most RCON clients handle opcodes transparently — you just send the text command. If you're writing your own RCON library (like Theislemanager/evrima-rcon), the opcodes are what the library sends as the first byte of each RCON packet.
Can I teleport players or spawn dinos?
No — Evrima deliberately omits teleport/spawn/heal commands that existed in Legacy. Admin powers are limited to moderation (ban/kick/whitelist), information (playerlist/getplayerdata), and world settings (AI density/migration/growth multiplier). For GMs, the lack of teleport is a design choice to preserve Evrima's simulation integrity.
Why doesn't my command work?
Check: (1) RCON is enabled in Game.ini (bRconEnabled=True), (2) you're using the comma-separated format for multi-arg commands, (3) your RCON client is authenticated, (4) the command exists in Evrima (some Legacy-era commands like teleport don't exist in Evrima). If a command is listed here with a verified opcode, it works.
