Bug with cave spawns on the center?
So basically I was just flying around the center on my solo game when I suddenly got huge fps drops and some freezing. I looked around on the ground and saw hundreds, maybe thousands of araneo, titanboa, and arthropleura covering a section of the surface. This was right by the southeastern cave, about 75 and 70 on the gps. I also took a quick look inside the cave right there and it was the same inside it. So my question here, is this intentional or a bug. Since I dont think hundreds of cave creatures should be spawning on the surface even if they are spawning near the cave entrance.

lol, yep. That's single player for you, doesn't happen if you are running a dedicated server. This was my original reason for switching over to ASM, I wanted to go caving on The Center.. but millions upon millions of spiders and sneks.
Never found any way to fix it apart from a DestroyWildDinos, but that only works until they've respawned and once again turned the ground black with chittering chitin. I asked the map creator more than once and he never gave any hint he intended to fix the map for SP so I gave up and started a server.

SP players really need to understand that Ark is a multiplayer game. Designed as such through and through. Just because a SP mode exists doesnt change that fundamental design philosophy.

The SP is literally just a shoe horned server and client in one. And since its not the core game it gets about as much support and focus from the devs as you'd expect.

Like Necaradan66 mention, it is a known singleplayer bug that isn't going to be fixed.

I found that It doesn't kill my frame rate as much if I entered using the big cave water entrance on the southeast coast though. I found if i entered that way and killed my way towards the other side, that it wasn't too bad and i could get the artifact.

I also looked at it as a plus: If I entered from the southeast coast cave and killed my way though, it was insanely good for leveling dinos. (i often had to turn off harvesting on my mount though, as i would get full with meat and chitin in no time. Not an issue if you use a stacking mod, i imagine)
