Lack of spawn after a dino wipe
At the moment, when i start a new Center map I find i have around 20,000 dinos up after i fly all over the map ( some reason I still need to do this even though I have the -preventhibernation command on the launcher ) Now, after I dino wipe, i am lucky to have 5 or 6,000 dinos after flying all over the map. Are the buggers just very slow to spawn ? is anyone else having this issue ?

island too, did a wipe and only surrounding area filled slow. Flew over the map making holds for about 15 min. Preventhibernation was on and dino finder mod was a help to see them spawn take ages.
Dunno about Cener, that one seems to have all problems we knew so far

I've read somehwere that after a dino wipe it'll take around 1 ingame week, so 7 ingame days, before the map gets fully filled in again.
Don't know if that includes cave spawns, if yes then there easily could be a massive overspawn in them aswell.
Plus ARK beeing that buggy mess it is, things like to spawn in the mesh or breakable rocks.

Dino wipes take ages to recover from on single player, even with -preventhibernation, dunno why. Restarts don't help. Flying around and spending a while in various different areas helps in my experience. You could also try upping the dino count to 1.2x or something, but that will just increase the density in any area you load, it won't help respawn rates in unloaded areas. I don't do dino wipes any more, unless I need to because I've added a mod or something.
