Extreme Dino Spawns?

Yo, I have a question for you Ark experts!

I'm very new to the game, never could find the time to get in, but enjoying a first serious solo playthrough!

I set up a base in the river going north not far from south spawn 3 (south east), around Day 7. Usually the spawns are quite mild.
On the way back from a mining run in the small mountain east of this spot (next to the swamp), i came home along the river to see :
- Titanoboa swarms on the swamp (10-12 of them)
- Alpha Raptor + Pack
- 3 Spinos
- More Therinosaurs than you can count
- Multiple Raptor Duos spread accross
- Multiple Troodon Packs

Usually, it's Parausaurs, Dilos, Trikes, someTheris.

Is there any player activity that massively increases the chance to get these crazy spawns or just a tough roll on the RNG?

Singleplayer mode?.

Good to do regulare wild dino wipes.

Cheat destroyWildDinos

This resets spawns

South spawn is right on the swamps. Boas often congregate because they chase after random smaller Dino's. Same happens with raptors.

The smaller Dino's tries to run away and attracts the attention of more predators.

SP spawning is also way off because the RNG tries to fulfil it's map requirements but only has access to the immediate zone around the player.

So you get massive skewed populations that don't occur on a dedicated server

Thanks for the info guys!

Was curious because in some other survival games (7days to die for example), player actions trigger some specific spawns to add to the challenge.
I just started farming metal ingots and was on a rampage with my squad of 3 Trikes while coming back from the mining run, so I thought this may have happened.

I'll try to survive but will do the destroy trick if things get too wonky and out of control :D.

Loving this game so far now that I've got my bearings

In sp "cheat" is not required, so only "destroywilddinos".
