Bug Fixes

• Using Cryopods on dinos with specialized harvesting levels no longer removes those levels when deployed. This will also refund any missing level up points on currently broken dinos.
• Disabled the enemy check for Cryo deployment on PVE servers. This can be overridden in GameUserSettings with DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=False
• Using Cryopods no longer removes Nuetered/Spayed state on dinos when deployed.
• Fixed a server crash.

Additional Changes

• Soft Tame Server Limit

These changes are still disabled by default on all platforms, but here's a look at what's to come.
Implemented a new Soft Tame Server Limit, default value set to 5000 dinos.
This functionality is currently DISABLED BY DEFAULT on Official and Unofficial servers, but can be enabled with the configurations further down. We’ll be looking to enable this on our Official Network in later January depending on the impact of cryos on our servers.
Dinos above the Soft Tame Server Limit will be marked “For Cryo” and display an icon and a timer indicating how soon they need to be cryopodded before they are automatically destroyed.
Dinos marked and dinos destroyed by this system will be logged in the tribe log.
This differs from the standard tame limit, as it still allows new players to join servers and tame creatures above the 5000 limit, whereas previously, they would not have been able to tame or breed creatures at the server cap.
Soft Tame Server Limit configurable settings in GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]:

   DestroyTamesOverTheSoftTameLimit=True - enables destroying tames over the limit, default is false
   MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit=5000 - set the server-wide soft tame limit
   MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit_CountdownForDeletionDuration=604800 - set the timer for destroy in seconds
