Beaver dams not spawning in SP

[Uncle Hulka]

Has anyone else had any issues finding beaver dams in ASA in SP? The beavers are spawning where they were in Survival, but they're not building dams for some reason.

Has Wildcard radically changed the appearance of the dams in ASA and I'm simply overlooking them?

They are now under water. Scuba diving time.

I've been looking under water and still can't spot them. Even in Evolved the beavers would quite often build their dams underwater. They are (were?) very distinctive in appearance and easily stood out from rocks and other stuff you'd find at the bottom of rivers.

They still look like big bundles of branches and twigs, right?

Check in the woods near the water. I have found them about 5 or 6 foundations away from the water.

i find them regularly in the hidden lake and north west of the redwoods. also north east of it.

Thanks, I'm going to check now. That would certainly explain why I missing them. That's far from where they used to be, either along the river's edge or in the river itself.

Thanks. I'll check there. At this point I'm desperate enough for cementing paste I'm considering taming a frog and going bug hunting (That's fun to do anyway).

I can confirm Beavers and Dams are there in SP.

I had 2 Beavers right next to my base and they were building Dams on land and at the shore as well. But out of nowhere suddenly both Beavers disappeared from one moment to the other. And I didn't do the destroywilddinos console command.

Seems the whole spawn thingy is bugged somehow. But hey, it's Early Access.

Beavers exist rarely in my game but they don't appear to be spawning dams correctly at all. I've been searching for 3 hours and found 1 damn. I've followed all the guides and spawn maps and any info I can find. All the locations are desolate. Either no beavers and dams, or like 1 or 2 beavers and 0 dams. Penguins are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ too in SP. Not a single one spawned at all in 3 days of real time checking. dino wipes did nothing to fix it. Spawns are seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in this game atm.

I found beaver dams in my game, but the first one I found was empty. Subsequent dams were appropriately stacked.

yea sp is complete weird, i don't have beaver spawns even, let alone their dam.

Yeah, beavers/dams in SP mode are definitely bugged ATM. I'm getting castoroides spawns, but they're not building dams. Even using the dino wipe command several times hasn't helped.

With all the other performance and server related bugs that Wildcard is actively working to fix, I just hope this SP bug doesn't get tossed too far down the list of priorities. It would especially suck if it was left unfixed for so long that it became a dreaded legacy bug, of which there were many in Survival.

ill found one but i am searching doedi for about one hour^^

[Noxsa]

yes dino spawns in sp deff not as they should be, i'm bin looking for an anylo and when i FINALLY see one, it got eating by raptor pack of 10 (why are there so many raptor and other deadly preds djeezes)

[Wille84FIN]

Spawn just fine in my game. I leveled a 500m x 500m area around my base (river area) and dinos started spawning, including beavers and their "huts" or whatever.

I play of a unofficial server. The first time I looked for beaver dams I found two on land and one in the water around that big lake in the southeast (close to the starting locations). I've been back on 3 different occasions each time a real time day apart and I have not found another one since.
