About
GiveDinoSet spawns multiple dinosaurs at once, organized by combat tier or map-specific groups. Each tier contains a curated list of creatures: lower tiers offer basic mounts and pack hunters, middle tiers add apex predators, and higher tiers include endgame creatures like Reaper Kings and Managarmrs.
Use the first argument to select which tier or group you want. Use the second argument to control how many individuals spawn: enter 0 to receive the full roster for that tier, or any positive number to spawn that many dinos from the tier (the selection is automatic).
This command is most useful for testing, arming a faction quickly, or stocking a breeding program without hand-spawning each creature individually.
