Extinction Spawn Rates - Non-dedicated single player
I am trying to get more Alpha's to spawn on extinction map.

I have tried all combinations of the following:
In my WindowsNoEditor\Game.ini just under the last line after [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
...
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Elite Carno",SpawnWeightMultiplier=5.000000,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.500000) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Elite Raptor",SpawnWeightMultiplier=5.000000,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.500000) DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Elite Rex",SpawnWeightMultiplier=5.000000,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.500000)

Does anyone know if this works? I have tried a range of values for both WeightMultiplier(1-10) and Percentage(.5,.75,1.0). I have only seen one Alpha Rex next to Sunken Forest before making any changes.

After each change, I start server, destroywilddinos then wait for them to respawn. I have also cleared areas where Raptors, Rexs, and Carnos spawn to see if Alphas would replace them. Nothing has worked.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If im not mistaken those Alpha's dont even spawn on Extinction, what you are looking for is the dinotag "Elite Rex Corrupt" (https://ark.gamepedia.com/Creature_IDs). Code looks fine otherwhise though.

Thank you, I will try that. Do Elite corrupt raptors and Carnos spawn? I havent seen any of those.
*Nevermind, I didn't see it in the list for Extinction. I have seen one Alpha Rex on Extinction but maybe that was a bug.

So far i have only seen the Elite Rex in the wild, and the Elite Trike only on OSD's.
But im only the one person on a relatively big map, so i could be wrong, i did use the S+ transmitter a few time to check overall spawns, but have never seen anything else alpha like being listed as spawned.

I tried the following:
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Elite Rex Corrupt",SpawnWeightMultiplier=5.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.0)

I did not see any Corrupt Elite/Enraged/Alpha Rexs after restart and destroywilddinos.
Anyone else out there have any success?

I have seen alphas spawn but they are very rare, we have had 2 alpha raptors since release. I think a major problem is there are a lot of rexes on the map.... like dozens upon dozens in the forbidden zone area where the corrupted deathworms spawn leading up to the king titan's arena. You could put a limiter on rex spawns, shaving their numbers should get more rex classed creatures like alphas on the map. Might take some trial and error, as we dont know what might try to overspawn in the rex's place.... and we thought the beavers were bad XD.

I have an alpha rex and alpha raptor in the wasteland near my base at 50:30. :( A corrupt giga spawned in near the sunken forest entrance where I have a ton of corrupt things running around. Hope they don't drop into the forest... :(

Playing single player no mods.

2 Alpha Raptors at once on Extinction - they do spawn :D

Thanks everyone for your replies. After two week still only one Alpha Rex. I moved my single player instance to a second pc. I will give the trimming regular rex's a go since they are everywhere. I may even try the above lines again to see if they help any on a dedicated server. We have now encountered 1 alpha rex since dlc launch and three normal gigas.
