No tek Quetzal for me!!! ???

[Treveri]

I have two servers going, TheIsand and SE, which are linked and I thought the Extinction event was working on both since we're seeing all kinds of Tek DInos.

But my two players (yeah, sadly I'm down to two players, but they are like two of my only friends in like ... yes its sad) say they aren't seeing any Tek Quetzals, and they are afraid the event is going to end before they at least get a breeding pair.

They claim they have been looking since the 16th and haven't seen even one ... and that's after killing a bunch of Quetzals trying to get a Tek one to spawn.

Was I suposed to have done something I didn't?

Thanks

Nope. 5% spawn chance means on a rare spawn like Quetzes, you can go a long time without seeing one compared to other tek critters, which are common spawns otherwise.

I mean....

Yes. You should absolutely be sacrificing every available troodon to appease the Ark gods that live in the Volcano. Only when all the troodon are dead will they grant you favor and spawn a tek Quetz. Wildcard must have forgotten to put this in the patch notes.

Mods? Specifically flyer mods?

[Treveri]

Hmmm, ok, thanks guys.

You could always force spawn in a couple for them but don't tell them where they are, that way they still have to hunt but they will be there :)

Shhhh. I told him he has to kill troodons. Don’t ruin it. What are you, some kinda troodon lover?

Are you using Classic Flyer or Speedy Flyer mod by any chance ?

The tek dinos are always gonna be there. Its just the dino colors is the event

[skyguard]

if he is using the CF or the SF mod, the TEK Quetzal will not be there, not yet, not until the Devkit gets updated..

Update: CF mod was updated to have VANILLA TEK Quetz to spawn only for now, they are normal TEK Quetz and not CF TEK Quetz (cannot level speed).

SF mod still has no TEK Quetz, maybe Friday according to the mod maker.

No flyer mods ... the only mods I have on my servers is Structures Plus and Tavan's trough.

And ... I already did a DestroyWildDinos, then I spawned one for them I haven't told them about.

Your suggestion that I do it makes me feel better about the fact I did. I fall all over myself not to cheat on my servers.

But they really are BBFs in real life and I feel bad that they have been trying for over a week to find one. We're all in our 50s and 60s, so we don't have much time left to find one!!

The Tek Quetz has nothing to do with the Extinction Event.

If you have Structures Plus then if you have the S+ Tek Transmitter (not sure you got that far yet) just use that to locate a Tek Quetz.

[KitsuneShiro]

What map?

[GM]

Tek dinos are perm they will be there permanently

Op’s problem is less the locating of them than the fact they weren’t spawning at all, most likely due to a5% chance on something there is rarely more than 2 of on the map at any one time.

A young photographer sent to cover the occasion of Winston Churchill’s 75th bday went up to the great man in awe and tried to stammer out well wishes.

“Sir I would just very much like to shake your hand and say that I hope to be able to cover the occasion of your 100th birthday.”

Whereupon Winston looked the young man up and down appraisingly, third scotch in hand, removed the cigar from his mouth and announced:

“You appear reasonably healthy. I see no reason why not.”

In effect he was saying the question mark was not himself, but the young man. Old age is a state of mind more than anything. Live forever or die trying I say.

But how does the OP know they weren't spawning at all? Can they see all dinos that are spawned? No, unless they use the S+ Tek Transmitter. So no, their issues is not necessarily that they aren't spawning at all.
