[Unversioned Hotfixes]
* Fixed funky shadow casting from foliage destruction-meshes
* Fixed whacky bendy plant wind animation
216.3:
* Added a function necessary for Servers hosting 'Survival of the Fittest' Total Conversion. If you want to host SotF 4.0, you should upgrade your Server to 216.2. (Clients don't need to).
216.2:
* More server crash protection
216.1:
* Fixed a couple server crashes
* Re-added missing "Small Crop Plot" Engram
* Improved Stag jump animation

* Fixed issue with not being able to climb ladders on certain platform structures/rafts
* Fixed Mac rendering issue in Snow Biome (black screen)
v216.0
Server Admin Note: Server Admins may wish to run ONCE with -ForceRespawnDinos, which will destroy all Wild Dinos at startup and respawn them all from the current ARK biome values. This will get you a more clean immediate existance of the correct species in Snow, Swamp, etc.
* Server Admin Note: One-Time Auto-Structure Demolish on Swamp and Snow Zones: To do this, which you can only execute once after updating to v216, run your server or game with this commandline: -StructureDestructionTag=DestroySwampSnowStructures
* Fixed Dino unboarding offset

* Fixed a ladder issue
* Fixed issue with Turrets mounted on Rafts/Dinos not being able to hit targets reliably when shooting down

* Fixed issue where dinos wouldn't follow an ally target a moving platform structure
* Fixed IK issue where dinos legs could latch onto surfaces above them
* Fixed issue where Total Conversion custom Maps weren't listed in the Host Session UI
Server Admin Note: We are currently investigating performance and stability issues that appear to be related to use of "Raw UDP Sockets" server connection mode. We have thus disabled Raw Sockets Mode on our Official Servers until we have resolved those issues, and we suggest that 3rd party server hosts and admins do the same (namely, don't use bRawSockets commandline, which will instead fallback to Steam P2P API).
v215.4

Note: these are server-side changes for the most part, so any servers that want these fixes will need to update to 214.3!
* Trilobites move again
* Fixed status exploit with Fast Travel

* Wild Flyers will no longer get stuck on water and drown -- they'll fly out of water properly and head back towards landmass when necessary
* Fixed a savegame corruption case with large savegames: this is experimental, so try with "-noninlinesaveload" if you have any saves that don't load. We'll formally roll this loader change out in a subsequent patch after we're 100% certain it has no side effects.

* Fixed dinos and players falling through ground on Low-Memory mode

* Fixed crash when loading a save with platforms/saddles that have structures removed by a mod
* Option for server hosts to use direct UDP socket connections rather than Steam P2P, for significantly increased server network performance and stability! To enable direct UDP sockets mode on your dedicated server (for slightly increased networking performance & more optimized bandwidth utilization and potentially better long-term stability), use commandline option "?bRawSockets" (on Windows or Linux) -- you'll need to manually open ports 7777 & 7778 if you do so in order for your server to accept connections.
* Reduced Ptero Barrel Roll damage by 33% and increased its stamina cost by 90%

* Host Session UI no longer clamps the numeric values by sliders (i.e. you can input beyond-range values into the text boxes and they'll hold)
* Fixed Titanboas falling thru the air aboveground into Caves blow
v212.1
Note: Server Admins can change the maximum number of platformed-creatures/rafts allowed on the ARK (a potential performance cost) via this commandline option: "MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit=Number" (or in [ServerSettings] of their GameUserSettings.ini)
212.1: Fixed -SM4/Extreme Low Memory Mode crashes with Plant Species X / Raft.
