How to unlock the Maximum Dinosaur achievement

    Dinos level up 59 times, regardless of what their starting level is.

    Being near a dino, petting a nearby Lystrosaurus, riding a dinosaur while someone is crafting (or you), killing things with your dino, and harvesting with your dino gives it XP.

    Or just go to single player, ride a dino, use the command "addexperience 999999 1 1" and the achievement will pop when you put in the stats for your dinosaur.

    The above guides are perfect, but I was still struggling to obtain this achievement, after commenting in the section of a solution @Outsider Fenix had mentioned the single task each guide had left out in order for the achievement to be obtained.


    1) Spawn a dinosaur using the admin console found in the top of the pause menu, I used "summon ptero_character_bp_c" (NO QUOTES).

    2) Unpause the game after entering the command into the admin console and then re-pause the game after the dinosaur name is in visible view.

    3) With the dinosaur name in visible view and the pause menu open, open the admin console found in the top of the menu and type "forcetame" (NO QUOTES).

    4) Unpause the game after entering the command into the admin console and walk up to your newly tamed dinosaur and press the "Y" button to ride it.

    5) Pause the game and open the admin console found in the top of the menu and type "addexperience 99999999 0 0" (NO QUOTES).

    **BELOW IS THE KEY PART THE OTHER GUIDES ARE MISSING**;

    6) Unpause the game after entering the command into the admin console and we will now be riding or tamed dinosaur with experience points to spend on leveling up. Instead of accessing your inventory to level up you will want to press the "X" button opening the dinosaurs inventory and then scroll over to the skill point section and apply your skill points with the "A" button until the dinosaur is fully leveled up.

    Once you're done fully leveling up your dinosaur the achievement will pop!

    Exe the HeroYeah, I feel like I've tried every possible option to try getting this achievement (other than actually legitimately leveling up a dino haha) and nothing is working. Seems like it's an issue on PC currently, too. There was even an update yesterday (7/16), but that didn't fix it.

    Poopdog M60RiotThis just worked for me, but I didn't spawn in anything. I just found a wild parasaur and started from there. So maybe find a wild passive rideable Dino and then start from step 2.
