It appears currently all the dinos from the three caves are marked as untameable.
Normally only dinos that are outside the normal level range is special caves are marked as untameable, but it appears all three caves on Extincation are currently marked as untameable

thats not true, you can tame stuff in the forest cave, i havent tried the desert cave yet since im lacking the deathworm horns but you can tame stuff in the forest cave.
also the stuff that spawns in the desert cave isnt higher level than the usual difficulty. besides the achantina everything spawns within range.

just tested it out actually, seems like they are untamable

Patched in to fix it or patched in to make them untameable?

Lets hope they fix such a horrible mistake as abunch of creatures only spawn in those caves and whats the point in adding them to the map if they are untameable.

Patch to fix a bigger issue.
All three caves used to be all tameable, but the ice cave had dire wolf that were L300+ and tameable!

So the quickly marked all caves as untameable as a hot fix.
No idea if this is the end solution, or they are going to correctly change it so those dinos in the normal level range are tameable again

I wouldn't view it as the "Bigger Issue" Cause tbh while having high lvl wolves is good, they are hardly useful in the map, especially since they have no armor/saddle at all, so I think that they just made a bigger problem to cover the smaller problem, cause now there's other dino's that are untameable, or are harder to find, which brings up another problem. For example, trying to find a Therizino, they're mostly in the Forest, and since we use S+ for easier building, we have a Tek Transmitter that can show us dino locations (While it's very useful, we still need to fly out, trap and tranq, and there's no guarentee that surrounding dino's won't be a threat, so it's still fair.)
Now, using this, we try to go find the highest level, and it's stuck in a wall! So we keep going down the list, and the next 1-2 are also in the wall, and finally we get to the 4th highest level Therizino on the map, and it's in, you guessed it, the Forest Cave. Now how are people supposed to get their dino's when they constantly spawn under the map, and the only other option to get a decently leveled dino is in a cave. They made a bigger problem, and are just piling it on top of the other bugs that are currently on the map.

found plenty 140 - 145 theri's roaming around while checking what gacha's were dropping in the forest .

but yes , we need some of the dinos ( mantis ) that spawn in the cave's to spawn also elsewhere .

Also, I just realized Rock Elementals are a thing, and need Mantis Kibble, and I'd think people would want the highest level Golems for those super ridiculous Orbital Supply Drops and Element Veins, so yeah, that too.

the rock elementals get full damage from corrupted dinos , useless vs osd's as they have bad dps .
