Console Commands
If you're in a single player game or have admin rights on a server you can use console commands to control nests or fix problems that may arise from using the mod.

The supported custom commands in the mod are:

cheat ScriptCommand NSpawn *time*
This one controls how fast the nests spawn. For example, "cheat ScriptCommand NSpawn 1" will spawn a nest every second. Setting the timer to 0 (= cheat ScriptCommand NSpawn 0) will stop the timer. Resets back to default when game is reset (you can change default value with INI)

cheat ScriptCommand NDestroy
This command will find and destroy all the containers in the map that have the word "nest" in them. This means that this command will also clean the nests added by the old v2 and v3 versions of this mod but may also delete nests added by other mods. To check which ones your game has, you can use NFind.

cheat ScriptCommand NFindcheat
NFind will list all the nests and eggs within the game. It'll then tell the user something along the lines of "found X nests based on class and X based on name" and all the eggs it finds. The number before based on class means the new nests added by this mod. Based on name means it found a nest that has "nest" in its name but it isn't recognized as being one that DIno Nests 3 has added. This could be a nest added by the old version of the mod, or a nest added by some other mod entirely.

Sometimes you may find out that the NFind doesn't find any eggs, which is perfectly normal as long as it finds nests. The nests don't spawn the eggs unless a player gets close enough so 0 eggs just means you're not close to any nest. Keep in mind NFind gets all the eggs on the ground currently present on the map so if a wild dino has laid and unfertilized egg somewhere or a player has just dropped a fertilized egg to hatch it, NFind will list that too.

cheat ScriptCommand NDestroyEggs
This command will destroy all the eggs on the ground regardless of where it came from. Eggs in containers, dino inventories or player inventories are not deleted.

cheat ScriptCommand NDestroyBabies
This command destroys wild babies found on the map. Shouldn't affect tamed babies but as the command isn't 100% tested I'd recommend making sure no tamed babies are roaming around when using this.

cheat summon *nest*
You can use this basic summon command to instantly spawn any nest added by the mod. Check the list below. For example, if you wanted to summon an allosaurus nest, you'd write "cheat summon AlloNest_C"

If there is a nest nearby when you spawn it, the nest will autodestroy just like the nests added by the spawner, so if this happens either move away from any spawners or use NDestroy to destroy the wild nests.

AlloNest_C AnkyloNest_C ArchaNest_C ArgentNest_C BaryoNest_C BrontoNest_C CarboNest_C CarnoNest_C CompyNest_C DiloNest_C DimetroNest_C DimoNest_C DiploNest_C DodoNest_C GalliNest_C GigantNest_C IchthyNest_C IguaNest_C KairuNest_C KaproNest_C LystroNest_C MegaloNest_C MicroNest_C MorellaNest_C MoschoNest_C OviNest_C PachyNest_C PachyrhiNest_C ParaNest_C PegomaNest_C PelaNest_C PteraNest_C QuetzNest_C RaptorNest_C RexNest_C SarcoNest_C SpinoNest_C StegoNest_C TapejaNest_C TerrorNest_C TheriNest_C ThornyNest_C TrikeNest_C TroodonNest_C
