This guide will show you how to wipe wild dinos on your ARK Survival Evolved Server
Over time, your ARK: Survival Evolved server can become cluttered with low-level or outdated wild creatures, especially after changing difficulty settings or installing new mods. To refresh the ecosystem and allow new spawns including high-level dinos or event creatures you’ll need to perform a dino wipe. This process removes all untamed wild dinosaurs from the map, forcing the game to repopulate the world with fresh spawns.
