The Isle's Evrima Branch Gains Kentrosaurus and a Wave of Fixes in Patch 0.21.720

Patch 0.21.720 has arrived on The Isle's Evrima Public Branch, following a Hordetest phase now concluded. Official servers were taken down during the transition; players unable to see the download are advised to restart their Steam client.

What changed

New playable dinosaur — Kentrosaurus arrives with a distinct combat identity:

• Hold RMB to charge a Power Swing; Hold RMB + LMB to release it
• Passive Reflection Damage: attackers striking the tail or shoulder spikes take damage in return
• Defensive Stance (Ctrl toggle) increases reflection damage and stability, and can block certain abilities if spikes connect
• LMB while in Defensive Stance triggers a dedicated tail attack

World and creature updates:

• Redwoods and Mangroves locations added (marked as work-in-progress), with supporting migration zones
• Additional human locations added
• Pteranodon terrestrial animations, speeds, adult weight (set to 90 kg), and landing angle tolerance updated
• Sea turtle added to deinosuchus' diet

Systems and visuals:

• Skin System updated with additional pattern and theme options
• Eye shader, gore textures, and HUD/menu UI icons updated
• Rain particles temporarily removed while a known issue is resolved; weather itself remains functional
• Envenomation visuals updated for dilophosaurus and troodon targets

Bug fixes and tuning:

• Resting regeneration rates updated across all species
• Eggs now auto-hatch if players do not manually hatch after appearing
• Pin retaliation attacks, swallow warnings, foliage collision for latched pouncers, weather issues, and fracture/mutation interactions all fixed
• Spearfishing default keybind changed to G
• "Traumatic Thrombosis" mutation temporarily removed for future reintegration

For players on Evrima, the patch represents one of the more substantive content drops in recent memory — a new playable species with mechanical depth, meaningful world expansion, and a long list of accumulated fixes.
