Unicorn spawn time
How long does it take for the Unicorn (Equus variant) to spawn after being tamed?
I caught two over two days, so the "one tame per server" rule I hear people citing definitely doesn't exist on the server I play on.
However I was wondering if the unicorn took the standard 45-ish minutes to spawn back in like other dinos, or longer.
Thank you!

Server setting page on the Ark wiki, not sure how accurate it is, but there seem to be configs for it.

From my adventures on the Island, the respawn timer is the same as any other dino, as long as it can spawn due to other spawn rules.

That being said, i do have to upload my tamed once for it work regardless of using the setting that should by-pass it.

1 untamed * unicorn per server

It seems i was incorect, was looking up what the setting for multiple tamed unicorns was, and it seems the default spawninterval is 24h (min respawn time 24h, max respawn time 48h).

So it kinda depends on the server settings ?
Wiki is a bit outdated and unclear on certain settings that might or might not be map specific, like the unicorn.

I know, just trying to locate the untamed and make sure I don't search too early. :)

I did a decent bit of googling and couldn't find an answer even on there, so I'm amazed I missed that. Thank you again!

Yw, sometimes i hit the nail on it's, and sometimes i hit my fingers really hard. Its not easy to find via google either, that's why im questioning how accurate it is, there are a lot of questionable topics about this subject as well. So its hard to tell what actualyl works as intended and what could potentially be broken AF.

I should for example not have to upload my unicorns for a new wild one to spawn, but for some odd reason thats the only way i get it to work on The Island.
