Dinos Spawns Issue [SINGLE PLAYER]
Hey guys, I'm still having issues with dinos not spawning. I already dino wiped and changed dino counter...

People are saying they patched a fix for this but my single player still has the same issue. Do I need a delete and start over again?

Same with me, No dinos in the world except for when I relog but there is only a few where I re spawn and thats it.

How do you do a dino wipe and does that get rid of ur tamed dinos?

It's a command entered in the console. It only kills all the wild dinos not tamed ones.
To open the console hit the Tilde key (the ¬`¦ key just underneath escape), then enter the command "cheat DestroyWildDinos" (without quotations).

It will wipe all the wild dinosaurs off the map and they will slowly repopulate as you play.

Also a tip, if you want wild dinos to be able to reach max level (150) you will have to set your difficulty to hard and set "Maximum Difficulty" under world options to ON. Do this before loading into the game and wiping all the wild dinos.

Here's a guide someone made that makes it easy to follow:

New patch just dropped. You might want to try this again, as it has a fix for dino spawn issue in SP.

I wonder if we have to delete the save and create a new one so that the patch fix actually fixes something

I really don't understand how they don't catch these spawning errors during tests

weird... last 3 days or 4 days ago those dinos were able to spawn JUST FINE
if my guess is... something has to do with their little "fixes" that caused this.

neither with or without mods this still happends.
its been reported this in their forum soo far... but as soo far its silent response from them

I wiped the dinos a couple days ago and now I'm tip-toeing on the southern beaches to avoid about 4 max level Baryonyx... :ccskull:

It's got pros and cons lmao

I guess you lucky then... but the problem isn't about the dinos lvl, its their spawning... The map is almost empty, even if I spend 1 hour in one chunk nothing spawns besides 1-2 dinos.

So far I only went to carno cave and that cave has dinos all the time. I killed them after 30 minutes they spawned. So I assume cave spawns are ok, but the rest its all fcked
