Adding Dino Spawns to The Center
Anyone have experience adding dino spawns to other maps? Trying to add the Rhynio and the Quetzal to The Center. I have successfully added them with the following lines:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Rhynio",EntryWeight=0.01,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=0.0001)))

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesJungle_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Quetzal",EntryWeight=0.01,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Quetzalcoatlus/Quetz_Character_BP.Quetz_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=0.0001)))

Exact same spawn chances per container problem is there are 2 quetzal's which is what we want... and 209 Rhynio's murderizing the swam.

Any suggestions?

Where do you add that code to? Game.ini or GameSetting.ini?

@Scooby You have to add this code in the Game.ini.

@Chubchub try to change "NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=" to "MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=" this should work the way you want it.
Also did you try do add Dinos from Scorched Earth to the Center? Ive tried the Jerboa but it didnt work, maybe you know whats the problem?

There's already 3 quetz spawns and a crap ton of rhinos up in the snow zone.

@grizzly I had tried that before and it still wasn't working. We had MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow set to .001 and was still getting 100+ spawning.

Got a hand on the discord and currently have this:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwamp_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Rhyniognatha 6",EntryWeight=0.005,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP_C","/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP_C","/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP_C","/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP_C","/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP_C","/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(0.0001,0.0001,0.0001,0.0001,0.0001,0.0001),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=2500.0)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.001)))


Now somewhere between 5 - 15 are spawning at any given time. Not ideal but still way better than before.
