About

DestroyAllEnemies removes every wild creature from the current map in a single command. It does not affect tamed dinos, player characters, or structures, only unowned fauna.

Use this to clear an area choked with wild spawns, reset creature populations after a long server uptime, or troubleshoot spawn behavior. The command executes immediately with no confirmation, so run it during maintenance windows or when players are not actively exploring.

Because it targets all wild creatures at once, avoid using it during active gameplay unless you have a specific reason to reset the ecosystem.
