Ragnarok Spawn Entries

[Lunatic]

Hey, I'm trying to figure out which Spawn Entry I have to edit to change the spawn on the southern islands. Or maybe someone knows a map which shows all entries and the location?


https://ark.gamepedia.com/Spawn_Entries#Ragnarok

The ark wiki isnt really telling much about the exact location and trial & error would take alot of time.

You can narrow it down by looking at the creatures which spawn in those areas. For example the 'monkey island' spawn entry is that small island in the south west at around 85, 31, because only jerboas, dimorphs and dimetros spawn there. And the western islands south of the swamp use the 'damiens atoll' spawn, the same as herbivore island on the Island map, because no predators spawn there.

The islands in the south west obviously use one or more of the SE containers, because Scorched Earth creatures spawn there. I know I've seen a yuty on one of those islands once, so one of the spawns must be the SE mountain spawn, as that's the only one with that dino in there. Also a while back I tried adding basilisks to the desert and from that found that the SE greendesert covers some of those islands too. But the dunes entry is not used there, as no mantis spawn in that area.

So that only leaves the badlands, canyons and oasis spawns left to check^^

Ya, well ... your Posts on Steam helped alot already and thanks again for this Post. :)

Was hoping I can alter the spawn points better than large containers like "Redwood", which is not only Redwood. Guess I have to deal with that somehow.

let me just bring this back from the dead, i recently got back into ark after a very long time away. i decided to rent and run my own ragnarok server for my friends and i to play as close to legit as possible with some sped up tame timers.
i have been trying to add just two creatures from aberration to my rag server (ravager, karkinos) i have successfully gotten the autolearn to work for both saddles and have changed the resources required for the saddles so no gems or fungal wood are needed but i cannot for the life of me get the creatures to spawn. i found another post from you mr hermit talking about this exact thing tried copy and pasting it and still cant seem to get it to work.
any advice?

[Splićo]

where do you want them to spawn ? can you post your code ?

[talon68]

I Have Most Aberration and Extinction Dinos spawning on my Rag server if anyone still needs codes

[🦊 Hermit]

We can try to help, yeah^^ As Splico said, could you post your code as you pasted it into the ini file? We may be able to proofread it and see if there are any issues.

Also, I assume you did a dino wipe on the server when you started it up after adding the code?

[ilovedragons1994]

i need codes please

[🦊 Hermit]

There's a few codes in this thread here:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/1620599015870921875/

They don't cover every creature in Ark, but they cover a lot of them, and you could use those codes as a template to add any that you are missing.

can some please proof read this code:

Rusteze,
For a start, container names need the _C as well ' DinoSpawnEntriesMountain_C ', and your 3rd and 7th entries both name ' DinoSpawnEntries_DarkWater '. Not sure if first gets overwritten or if they cancel each other, been too long since I messed with this.

Fix those things and see what happens. I have not checked through it all or tested in game, hopefully someone else can do a comb thru of the entire thing for you...


EDIT - had to change some brackets I had used to separate names.
