About

TakeTribe immediately transfers all structures and tamed dinosaurs from a specified tribe to your character. This is useful for reclaiming resources after a tribe is banned, inactive, or abandoned, or for administrative cleanup without manual demolition.

The command requires only the tribe ID. You can find a tribe ID through game logs, the tribe list in your admin panel, or by using other admin commands that reference tribes. Once executed, all tribe property becomes yours, use with caution on live servers.
