Random Island/SE/Aberration Level Spawns

[ItsThePaddy]

When I play these maps I find that lvl 150's/120's (Depending on difficulty) are incridibly rare, which always led me to not playing them compared to rag or the center. Is there ANY reason why they are so rare. On ragnarok, if I walk around I find it just as likely to find a 145 as a level, say, 60. But on the island 120's are very rare and I have NEVER seen a 150 spawn. Whats the deal.

Is there a mod that can make spawns actually random?

I've noticed this as well so I'm curious to see if anyone has an answer for it. I have seen some high levels on the Island but they are so rare. I probably see one or two a week at most but on Ragnarok I usually see a couple 150's every day.

Ragnarok and the Center were modded maps and intentionally have increased higher level spawns...this does make the game easier compared to the cannon maps.

Good to know someone else has the same deal. Hopefully someone has an answer.

But then how can I modify the island for instance?

Center and ragnarok are larger maps, with more spawns. So you'd see more high level stuff on a regular basis. The Island is (in my mind) the smallest map of the bunch. I've played it a lot, and 150's are to be had, but there's so much in the way of low-level crap it's hard sometimes.

You might could map a mod that does this.

You could consider this mod. Just make the setting for your highest level creatures.

Best way to get regular high-levels spawns on the island is to do daily dino wipes, if not more often.

This is good but not quite what i'm looking for.

Does anyone know if there is a mod or ini config to change spawn lvl chances?

It dosent exist as an ini option.

I don't know of a mod, but there are too many to know them all.

Oh well, I guess I'll just go have a browse XD. If I find anything I'll post it here so anyone who is wondering the same question has something to go off.

there is no way to make the map spawn more higher level dinos or lower level ones, its hardcoded in the map itself
solution
a dino overhaul mod that makes this by itself, a map mod that does this,but the island and Se and aberration are meant that way

Correct me if i give a bad information, but on the center and ragnarok the minimum lvl dino is 15 instead of 5 on the island/SE/aberration. This may also explain we see less Hl dino, or at least have the feeling to

Lowest and highest level dino depend on your/the server's ini difficulty settings. A setting of OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5 makes animals level 5-150 (190 for wyverns/drakes). The frequency of finding high level animals however is hardcoded into the map, i dont remember the exact name when i saw it but its basically the spawn level distribution percentage, and ragnarok and The Center have it set differently from The Island, SE and Aberr. If this could be an alterable config i imagine you could tweak it to influence animal spawns to be in a range to suit your gameplay.

This mod does that, however it requires you to manually place spawners, set spawn levels, etc...

If you're on a Windows server, there's the Beyond ARK API plugin.While it doesn't make spawn levels random, there's a plugin to make TheIsland spawns similar to Ragnarok and TheCenter. Perhaps that could be modified to make levels random... see links below! Never tested the API as I'm too stubborn to change from Linux...
