What is Osmium

Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element. Perfect for weighing down creatures so they cannot move even while set to wander.

A paperweight for your dinos!

They can still rotate in place and attack (if server setting allows this). Osmium will also allow your creatures to breed without the need of a breeding pen.

Place this in your creatures inventory to lock them in place. Simply remove this from their inventory to allow them to move again.

PLEASE NOTE: At the moment, Osmium does not persist through restarts. Please take your dinos off wander before restarts. This bug should be fixed soon.

Engram level / Crafting cost

The following will allow your creatures to rotate in place and also use their attack abilities if not on passive. Creatures will not rotate/attack by default.
