no wild level 150 dinos
i play on the scorched earth map on singleplayer, and i cant find any level 150 dinos. i have singleplayer settings turned off and the game difficulty set to 1. i also modified the .ini settings to help. they spawn in increments of 5 levels, but the highest ive seen is 120, and they all spawn at around level 20 on average. how can i fix this.

Make sure you have done a full wild dino wipe after changing your difficulty settings.

Due to official balancing, wild creatures tend to spawn in lower levels on SE as well as other story arks, so high levels are rare. To resolve this, you need to make use of mod.

You can't. The level randomizer for spawns is hardcoded to make dinos more likely to spawn with lower levels than with higher levels. You just have to be patient until you eventually find a dino with more than half the maximum level and it's even extremely unlikely to ever find one of maximum level.

You can, and it's not hard-coded, one example is custom arks, where creature levels are more evenly distributed.

To get the same effect on story arks, mod may be used:

Is there a single player console command to set a targeted wid dinos level to a specific level?
I know you can use command to spawn in a custom level dino but what about setting a wild dinos level that is already in the game to 150 or a specific level?

If you already know how to cheat and want to cheat, why do you want a more complicated way to cheat to achieve the very same result??

If you find a color you want since spawning them in is random

I don't think there is any command to modify a spawned wild dino, your only choice is to note down the color you want and spawn a high level one in and set the color, which is much easier.
