Hello,

I have made a mistake in my server console. A rookie mistake rather. I accidently deleted the Prefab assists for the Animals. And now I don't know how to restore/reset/redownload them. Does anyone happen to know the command for that? I have searched Google and the forums on here and can't seem to find anything samiler to what I need to restore the animals I had deleted. I was up late trying to fix the common "Red Error's" in the server console. Not realizing what I had done would permeantly delete the animals from their existence.

With any help would be nice,

Thanks,

How did you delete them?

How did you delete them?

I used the commands:

del assets/rust.ai/agents/chicken/chicken.prefab
del assets/rust.ai/agents/bear/bear.prefab
del assets/rust.ai/agents/stag/stag.prefab
del assets/rust.ai/agents/wolf/wolf.prefab
del assets/rust.ai/agents/boar/boar.prefab

Maybe running a Steam Update will bring them back?

del assets/rust.ai/agents/chicken/chicken.prefab
del assets/rust.ai/agents/bear/bear.prefab
del assets/rust.ai/agents/stag/stag.prefab
del assets/rust.ai/agents/wolf/wolf.prefab
del assets/rust.ai/agents/boar/boar.prefab

in the server console. It deleted them alright and now there gone.

You didn't delete the prefab from your files. That command only deletes any spawned prefabs from your map.
They will respawn back over time, or when your server restarts. Alternatively you can use spawn.fill_populations to have them spawn back.

I thought the same thing, unfortunately I didn't have a Steam update. Usually try to keep that updated at all times.

It does take an hour or two, how are you sure they are not respawning? Did you do a server.report?

that command only deletes the entitys from the server and does not stop them from spawning back

I actually tried that. Restarting the server. Didn't work. I also tried the command you gave and I think it worked? I am not sure I don't see any animals spawning in yet. Maybe it takes time to respawn all of the ones that I had deleted by mistake? I am not sure. It has me rather stomped.

I managed to start realizing that. By how long it takes.

I believe it's fixed now. I noticed in the server console a chicken was killed by one of my active running scarecrows. The map I have running on my server is quite large. My server specs are unusually high for a server to be running a game like Rust. I am still shocked by how long it's been taking to load in all the aminals.

-Edit- for Chrome's post:

Do you have any plugins that are stopping them from spawning? EntityReducer possibly?

I looked for that plugin and don't have it on my server.
