Just me or are there missing creature's?

[Wolfang]

So I have been traveling the map and notice there where no penguins so only way to get organic poly was the small ducks, I also havent encounterd or seen any jellyfish or eel's (not complaining there XD ) but it feels like there are less dino's every where, though I also notice that the respawn is faster,
(still having a fun time in the game, just woundering if any one ells have notice it)

I walked through the entire redwood without a single peep from any creature. No bugs, no thylas, not a single thing. I went up to the snow mountains, no yuty, no carno, no wolves. No daeodons, no mammoths.
Oh but we got 3000 seagulls on the beaches.

Yeah, and we got 5000 Pegomastax as well. While not seen a single Beaver. Very annoying.

My theory is that some creatures were justbreplaced by trees. When you fly over the island, you realise that there are trees everywhere. Only few rare spots left where you can build without having to cut down a whole forrest.

They Removed 90% of the Dinos from the dino game to help with the lag. It's brilliant...

This is incorrect. The lack of dinos is due to a spawner bug on servers that is disabling the spawn points entirely on the save files.

If you are referring to specific species, so far everything from the island has been present that I've seen. Specific species were added with DLCs. So once those get released they would be readded.

I haven't found any (yet) because I'm still in early stages, but it's worth mentioning that Equus are usually victims of rare spawns. Not because they don't spawn, but because their lack of defensive mechanisms means predators will attack them, and they'll either get stuck and die or drown in the water, making their sightings few and far between.

I bet it's just very hard to spot them between all those dense trees and bushes that are polluting the whole island now. Same with sheep.

i encounterd same problem.just fly around the mountains looking for a anky.but theres barely any creatures on the mountain you can see

[GoldfishEater87]

Missing creatures... yeah, once you clear a cave, the wilds don't respawn. sooo no bugs for the CP cave, no wilds in the Ice cave (but I'm okay with that lol) good for farming drops but not good for gathering CP.

Dinowipe did not fix the issue though.

Hopefully respawning is fixed;

Sad i'll be at work for another few hours. If you run a dedicated server, let us know if the spawners are fixed!

Yes, not as many. What are these small ducks you are talking about.

I've pretty much given up on actually playing a normal game, although somehow I see some players collecting the normal amount of tames. No idea how they do it. Maybe they play 24/7?

'Yes, not as many. What are these small ducks you are talking about.'

Hesperornis.

Today's patch addresses dino respawn issues.

[JMAN]

I've seen everything so far except for a Giga, and for some reason there are almost no Kairuku spawning. When I did my usual flight over the frozen areas I only found 10 in total, all of them on the beginning of the ride north. None of them on the glaciers in the snow etc.

[wildbill]

I saw a Rex near my base today. My base is near where they would normally spawn, but this is the first I've seen, so maybe the patch today is working.

[JMAN]

So after testing today (I did a destorywilddinos to see how the spawners are functioning) I've seen literally no penguins whatsoever. After 10 in total the first run I'm wondering if they're supposed to be more rare now, or something?

[dragonsphotoworks]

Only raptor ive seen is one Alpha. Thats it.. Otherwise all I have seen are para, turtle, some dilos, handful of trikes and dodos. Oh and 2 of those that pickpocket you and about dilo sized and looks. Oh and 2 pteras.. and some seaguls. No beavers, or other dinos and while havent gone whole map. Have looked around a bit.
