Not finding high level rex's
My server setting has the following:

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5
DifficultyOffset=1.000000

And I've only seen a 35 rex after like 2 or 3 weeks (I've done a dino wipe). are there any other settings i should be running? (Nitrado hosted)

Since you see lvl 35 it seems like you have lvl 150 creatures spawning (since 35 is a multiple of 5).
On The Island it has always been spawning mostly low level creatures with high level being very rare.

I am not sure if the mod called "Custom Dino Levels" exist for ASA yet but that mod changes it so that it is equal chance for any level or even higher chance for high level creatures to spawn.

Can you use mods on your server? If so, I'd recommend using the Custom Dino Levels mod and enabling Ragnarok levels. I find the Island is intolerable without it.

These are the instructions provided by the modder KitzyKatty:

If you want to activate Rag-like levels, then this is what the [CustomLevelDistrib] section of the GameUserSettings.ini file should look like:

[CustomLevelDistrib]
MinLevel=1.000000
MaxLevel=30.000000
WantsEqualLevels=False
WantsRagLevels=True
WantsHighLevels=False

So i change max to 150?

Yes. In addition, as the mod states, you'll get Ragnarok-like levels across the board. That means a much higher and better balanced (IMO) distribution of higher level dinos across all species on The Island, including Rexes.
