About

The Empty Cryopod is a single-use item that freezes a creature into stasis, reducing it to an inventory item for easy transport and storage. Once a creature is cryofrozen, it remains in suspended animation indefinitely until the pod is used again to release it.

Admins use cryopods to manage creature populations, move tamed dinos between bases or servers, and preserve breeding stock without ongoing food consumption. Spawn them with the GFI code when you need to quickly outfit players or stock a breeding operation.
