About

The Canoe is a unique Genesis entity that functions as a player-controlled watercraft rather than a conventional tamed animal. Despite carrying the Dinosaur creature type classification internally, it behaves as a vehicle for traversing water rather than a combat or utility tame in the traditional sense.

Admins working with Genesis maps may encounter the Canoe in spawning tables or entity references under its entity ID Canoe_BP_C. If you need to force-spawn or reference it via console commands, use that entity ID directly. Because it is tied to the Genesis DLC, it will not appear or function correctly on maps that do not include Genesis content.
