Enable or Disable Dinosaurs in Path of Titans

Path of Titans lets you toggle dinosaur species on or off in single-player and private match settings, which is useful for creating a custom experience, reducing lag, or focusing on specific creatures. This guide walks you through the exact menus for both game modes, what the toggle actually does, and how to fix it when the setting doesn’t stick.

What You’ll Need

• Path of Titans installed and launched (any current version, PC or console)
• Access to a server you own or a single-player world (you cannot change dinosaur spawns on official or community servers you don’t administer)
• For private matches: the server admin password or ownership of the server

Step-by-Step

For Single-Player Worlds

1. From the main menu, select Single Player.
2. Choose the world you want to edit and click Continue to load into it.
3. Press Esc (PC) or the equivalent pause button (console) to open the pause menu.
4. Select Settings (gear icon).
5. Navigate to the Gameplay tab (or “World” tab depending on your version).
6. Scroll down to the Dinosaur Spawns or Species section. You’ll see a list of all playable dinosaurs, each with a checkbox or toggle switch.
7. Uncheck the box next to a dinosaur to disable it, or check it to enable it. Changes apply immediately to new spawns; existing dinosaurs in the world are not removed.
8. Close the settings menu and continue playing. The setting is saved automatically with your world.

For Private Matches (Owned Servers)

1. From the main menu, select Private Match.
2. Click Create Match (or select an existing server you own).
3. Once the server is running and you’re in the world, press Esc to open the pause menu.
4. Select Server Settings (or “Match Settings” on some versions).
5. Go to the Rules or Gameplay tab.
6. Find the Dinosaur List or Enabled Species section. This shows every dinosaur with a toggle.
7. Toggle off the dinosaurs you want to disable, or on to enable them.
8. Click Apply or Save at the bottom. The server will update, and new spawns will respect your choices.
9. If you want to remove already-spawned dinosaurs, you may need to restart the server or use the admin command /cleardinos (if enabled).

Using Admin Commands (Alternative Method)

1. In single-player or as a server admin, open the chat console (press Enter on PC, or the chat button on console).
2. Type /spawn followed by the dinosaur name to manually spawn specific creatures, bypassing the spawn list entirely.
3. To disable a dinosaur globally, the settings menu method above is the only reliable way; commands do not persist across sessions.

Common Mistakes

• Changing settings on a server you don’t own: Official and community servers have fixed spawn lists. You can only modify dinosaurs on single-player worlds or servers you created.
• Expecting existing dinosaurs to disappear: The toggle only affects future spawns. Dinosaurs already in the world remain until they die or are removed manually.
• Looking in the wrong tab: The dinosaur list is not in “Graphics” or “Audio”. It’s under Gameplay, World, or Rules depending on your game version.
• Forgetting to save: In private matches, if you close the settings without clicking Apply/Save, your changes are lost.
• Disabling a dinosaur you’re currently playing as: If you’re controlling that species, disabling it may cause issues when you die and try to respawn.

Tips

• Disable large carnivores like the Tyrannosaurus or Spinosaurus to make the world safer for smaller herbivores you’re trying to grow.
• Enable only a handful of species to reduce server lag on older hardware, since fewer AI spawns means less processing.
• For a themed world (e.g., “only raptors”), disable everything except the species you want, then set the spawn rate to high.
• If you’re hosting a private match for friends, share the admin password so they can adjust settings too, but be aware they can also change other rules.
• Use the /spawn command to place specific dinosaurs at locations rather than relying on random spawns, which is useful for screenshots or roleplay.

Troubleshooting

Changes don’t save when I restart the game: In single-player, the setting should save automatically. If it doesn’t, try exiting to the main menu before quitting the game entirely. For private matches, ensure you clicked “Save” and that the server has finished writing its config file before you shut it down.

I can’t find the dinosaur list in settings: On some versions, the list is only visible after you’ve loaded into the world, not from the main menu. Load your world first, then open settings. If it’s still missing, check that your game is updated to the latest patch.

Disabling a dinosaur doesn’t stop it from spawning: This can happen if the game has a “global spawn” override or if the dinosaur is part of a group spawn (e.g., a pack of raptors). Try disabling the group leader species as well. Also verify you’re looking at the correct list—some versions separate “playable” dinosaurs from “AI-only” ones.

After disabling, the game crashes or freezes: This is rare but can occur if you disable a dinosaur that is referenced by a quest or tutorial. Re-enable that species, complete the quest, then disable it again. If the crash persists, verify your game files through the launcher.

Private match settings reset every time: This usually means the server config file is read-only or the server is being restarted from a template. Check your server’s file permissions, and if you’re using a hosting service, look for a “preset” option that might be overriding your changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I disable dinosaurs on official servers? No. Official servers have fixed spawn rules that all players must follow. The toggle only works in single-player and private matches you own.

Does disabling a dinosaur affect my current character? No. Your current character remains playable until it dies. After death, you won’t be able to respawn as that species if it’s disabled.

Will disabling dinosaurs improve performance? Yes, especially on low-end PCs. Fewer species means fewer AI spawns and less memory usage, which can reduce stuttering and load times.

Can I enable a dinosaur that’s not in the list? The list shows all species available in your game version. If a dinosaur isn’t listed, it may not be released yet or may require a DLC purchase.

Do my settings apply to other players in my private match? Yes. In a private match, the server owner’s settings apply to everyone. Other players cannot override them unless they have admin rights.

Is there a way to disable all dinosaurs except one? Yes. Uncheck every species except the one you want. The world will then only spawn that dinosaur, which is great for focused grinding or a specific roleplay scenario.
