No Majorly Important Spawns On The Island

[TaintSauce]

im trying to find rexes, gigas and megatheriums and none of them are spawning anywhere on the map, even using the m+ transmitter to scan all dinos, im damn near tech illiterate, so it may be my fault, but it seems as though many creatures simply wont spawn, Help, please, i loved this game back in ASE and i dont wanna give up on this one because of a spawning error of arguably the most important dino.

According to the aforementioned modded tek transmitter dino scan, rexes, gigas and megatheriums arent even a spwnable option, is there something i have to enable/Disable?

By default they should be spawning, did you try a dino wipe and populate the areas?

Like i said i am tech illiterate lol so i apologize in advance i did "destroy wild dinos" and it didnt do anything to solve the issue , im unsure of how to "populate the areas", mind explaining that to me like im a moron? lol. i spawned in some rexes and megatheriums and then i was able to find a couple outliers after that with help from the m+ transmitter, but literally only one or two outside of the ones i force spawned

Did you intstall some mods which add new creatures/dinos?

Yes , i did have one but i removed it and did destroy wild dinos several times, now i have a singular rex spawn and still no megatheriums, are the ceratosaurus taking up the spawn slots for rexes? and if so can i remove their spawning?

The spawning in Ascended is very slow, Ceratosaurus shares spawns with Carnos, visit Carno island, cull everything, also Megatheriums are spawning in mostly low level on the Island

megas tend to spawn in the snow biome. rex spawns in general have been toned down for ascended. carno island tends to work out or sticking around the rivers in the northern part of the map. you can just use the gators or the relatively common tickle chicken if you are having too much trouble.

gigas just suck to find in general since you rarely get more than two or three. if there isnt one in the volcano well good luck then. there is a mod that makes them spawn more.

if in single player nothing spawns if you're not nearby so tracking mods wont help much after a wipe. turning off hibernation helps with this.
you right click ark and go to properties option. on the general section there should be a line where you can add this under launch options -preventhibernation

This is the most important part if you have spawning issues on SP. The option allows the dinos on the map to spawn and despawn, even when you aren't close by. The only requirement I have seen is, that you need to have been in the area once to initiate the spawns.
If I start a new map, I tend to just use the cheat "ghost" and "fly" and fly across the map once. Make sure to load the caves once too, since the cave drops won't spawn the first time a cave is loaded for some reason.

Edit: Use cheat "walk" to end ghost and fly effect!
