  • Hi All,


    I've been trying to alter the dino spawn rate multipliers for some time now but having difficulty in getting the settings right.

    My assumption is that Spawn Multiplier is the modifier for the max number of that kind of dino on the server, but then what does spawn limit do?


    Here are some examples of what i'm trying to do and the settings i've applied...


    *Remove all Eurypterid:

    Name of the Dinosaur = -custom-

    = Euryp

    Spawn Multiplier = 0

    Overwrite Spawn Limit = true

    Spawn Limit = 0


    *10x more Alpha Raptor:

    Name of the Dinosaur = -custom-

    = Elite Raptor

    Spawn Multiplier = 10

    Overwrite Spawn Limit = true

    Spawn Limit = 100


    Has anyone found a good guide on how this works?
