No dino spawns single player
so i just cleared out carno island, been waiting over an hour, nothings respawned, is this a known issue for SP?

yes i know i can do destroywilddinos and i have no issues in using it, however i don't want to have to keep using it if it's nothing more then a band aid..

Killed Rexes and Spinos for their trophies, but they never respwned.
The only thing that helped was indeed destroywilddinos and/or putting -PreventHibernation in startup line.
The last one I'm not too sure if it's even a thing for ASA, but I guess testing won't hurt either.

What this startup line basically does is stopping every crature that's not in a certain range of you to enter a "stasis mode", preventing them from moving, attacking, dying, it can even prevent spawning. (was the case for some mods)
IF it works you need to be aware of chances for overspawning.
Normally on SP creatures spawn in around you the first time you enter an area. So it can happen that creatures spawn in naturally and when you come across.

How to prevent hibernation?
Put -preventhibernation in Steam's starting options for ASA

I found out i think you got to be in the general area for a little time for the dino's to spawn in....I went to carno island and each time i flew around it there would be a few more dino's spawned in ....so yeah in sp which that's what i am playing also it takes a good amount of time and alot of traveling around to get a good amount of dinos to spawn on the map

Wait, how did you increase the dino spawn rate? I am looking for information about that without success.

Edit: Nvm, I found it. Not sure whether the server settings section will affect Single Player, though.

I was hoping the mixed reviews was just haters, but legacy bugs are a huge red flag.

I'm reading through the topics and there's a ton of them.

To the guys who did buy the game, Keep on keepin' on, see you in a couple years when these bugs are fixed.

no need to mess the ini, dino spawn is a normal setting on the menus , but they fixed the spawn bug already, for some people the fix only worked deleting all singleplayer data and starting again

dino spawn and resource spawn bug was a thing when the game released, they fixed already in ASA 1 week ago, you are reading a old topic

I don't know if it works or it's due to the patch, placebo effect or a combination of the two, i just put the prevent hibernation start line and increase the spawn rate trough the menu and suddenly after a deletedino there were tons of them, like in carno island, 3-4 rexes, 10+ argentavis and a lot of other smaller ones, allo's, carnos etc, same everywhere else.
