before a restart can prevent your dinosaur from getting a reset in all of the mentioned stats. It will not be present in-game and is thus safe from any harm.Ī safelog, as part of the name, saves the files of your dinosaur upon logout. Food, Water, Stamina, Growth, Bleed, Damage and Position. No character will stay behind without you. Meeting the condition for a safelog lets you log out instantly. It will not react to any damage done to it. Just… without you. It can be killed and eaten, it can starve and die of thirst. Enough time for others to find you and kill you, because your character is completely ingame as if you were playing it. In a survival game, five minutes is a long time. And your dinosaur will be standing, sitting or crouching on the server, without you. For five whole minutes.

You are sitting in the main menu of ‘The Isle’ now, ready to close the game or switch servers. So what happens if you just press ‘Logout’? So if you think your character is safe just because you pressed ‘Logout’ in the ‘ESC’ menu, you will probably come back to the character selection screen upon your next login. As a survival game, even this mechanic is designed to not give you an easy life.

Most games let you properly log out the moment you hit the corresponding button in-game, but this does not work for ‘The Isle’. While some people still use the unsafe logout by just hitting ‘Logout’ without meeting the condition for a safelog, it is advised to use this implemented mechanic that can save the life of you character, be it after the logout or while you’re logged in. A mechanic that should be the last thing to do when playing on a server and the only one when you want to leave it. Safelogs have been there since the beginning. An unimportant aspect for some, an important detail for others.
