Ragnarok - Giganotaurus spawn problem
Hello,

I saw a Gigano on the Highlands 2 days ago and yesterday he wasn't here, so he despawned :/
So, yesterday and today, i spend my time to search another one, but no one spawned.......

In the hope to find a Gigano, i tried the destroywilddinos command several times yesterday and today, but, .... nothing, just 1 titanausor (he fell in the wyvern cave :/)


I'm going to give up ..... so what's the problem ? It is a glitch ? Or the gigano is very rare ?
Where I must search for him ? When?

Thanks for the help!

Its not a raptor, you won't find 100 of them on your server at the same time.
As for the despawn, this happen for many different reason that I don't know (Never needed to search info for this).

Doing a destroywilddinos wont make it spawn faster.
And not sure but game allow some spot for them to spawn but I never heard it was forcing every server to spawn at least 1 of them at all time.

By the way, if you play in single player, theres a lots of problem with the spawn. Better create a non-dedicated with password.

Hey, thanks you very much for the answer :)

Ok i will stop destroywilddinos
Why it's better to create a non-dedicated server ? But i'm lazy to restart a new world.

Naturally, the giga is very very very rare ??

No its not. Non-dedicated has the exactly same bugs as SP, cause it's basically the same thing.

To avoid SP problems you need a full dedicated server. ASM makes this easy and you can copy your save files over.

@OP there should be like 1 giga up somewhere. If you have s+, you could use the s+ transmitter to check spawns and get coordinates.

To increase giga spawns you would need to add them to a new spawn group in game.ini. Or easier, use the simple spawner mod.

There are also giga spawns in the vast desert area (the southeast area of the map), and near the green obelisk. You might check there. I do believe that there is a max spawn value for wild gigas, and if there are already the maximum number on the server in other areas, one will not spawn in the highlands until one of the others dies, or despawns.

Hello, thanks for your answer.

I finally found a Giga, but now I can't open his inventory http://puu.sh/BllW6/c2c27439e3.jpg

Did you build walls?
Hugo Aug 27, 2018 @ 12:17pm 
No
Hugo Aug 27, 2018 @ 12:20pm 
But a part of the giga was under the ground

It's probably clipping. Just try a bunch of angles
Hugo Aug 27, 2018 @ 12:28pm 
I knocked him down again , and I have the same problem :/

Move around a bit. The Giga is a big dino and you have to be close enough and looking at the right spot to be able to open its' inventory. Just seeing the name doesn't mean you are at the right spot.

Don't fool around too long, they wake up fast.

Sadly, I spammed the E touch all around the giga. It is just showing me his life :/
