About

The Microbe Swarm is a fantasy-type creature introduced in the Genesis DLC. Unlike conventional animals, it behaves as a swarm hazard rather than a traditional tameable creature, making it more of an environmental threat than a companion or mount.

Admins working with Genesis maps may encounter this creature in the wild and need to account for it when adjusting spawn rates or clearing areas for players. Use the entity ID MicrobeSwarmChar_BP_C with SpawnDino or related server commands to spawn or reference it directly.

Because it is a swarm entity rather than a standard creature, standard taming or knockout mechanics do not apply. Keep this in mind when configuring difficulty settings or custom spawn configurations on Genesis servers.
