Question about spino sails.
So you need spino sails for one of the bosses on The Island. However, as we all know, spinos on The Island are pretty rare. I am not going to be boosting the rates for that. We do have four maps in a cluster though. However, spino sails don't seem to be transferable. (not sure about this). I do have all options open in my server settings. I have not goten to the point in the game yet where I am looking to kill this boss, but a player has mentioned there frustration at getting sails. Any ideas?

this goes in Game.ini under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] heading (note:no returns/enter, all one line)

Just go up and down rivers until you find the spinos you need.
It may be difficult if there are lots of bases at rivers blocking spawns, but that's really all you can do for it on the island afaik
I think they might also be able to spawn in the swamp maybe.

Options.... add them to custom loot drop containers.... or... use simple spawners mod to increase spino spawn (verry adjustable, can be turned on and off)

I do not wish to add mods. At the end of the day, I believe I will be spawning a bunch in and offereing them for trade. What do you think would be a good price? PVE servers.

Or increase the spawn weights of spinos?


Can also recommend this Discord... owned by Moderator 1david25 ... set up for a brains trust of pc/server owners/modders

However, I dont like this idea, I find anything making the game easier is bunk, we all ready have s+ and boosted rates, I come from EA, officials, when the rates were half what they are now, and times were tough, kids today, that want it all the easy way..lol

You could trade for x number of tRex arms

Aberration has loads of spino's if that is a map in your cluster, you can add a ticket mod that allows transfer of apex drops and similar things (i use this to localize all my trophy's to 1 map). The downside would be that you would have to remove engrams for the things you dont want to allow transfer on, like boss trophy's and artifacts.

That being said, mass murdering the rivers always got me enough spino's sails to kill bosses, but i can see how farming the monkey might cause a MP server to not have any spino's on the map.

You could add spinos sails to one of the artifact containers. Custom beacon code.

Or alter the alpha loot tables to include this item and other rare items.

I think trade might be the best option... simply because editing loot tables adds a whole new grind on top of farming spinos.

On our cluster we use a very small, simple mod that allows players to convert items like tributes and artifacts into "tickets" in their own inventory which can then be uploaded and download between servers via the usual means. Those tickets can then be converted back to the artifact or tribute in the users inventory again. It's brilliant.

Spinos live along the shallow rivers in the map. Yes they are rarer than the rexes, but I generally see 1-2 in the wild a day without looking for them

Spinos on the Island rare?


*Stares at the rivers littered with them on his SP Island* Ah......ooook ._.

I think the stackmemore mod allows the same transfer of artifacts and tribute build into the mod.

Spinos are pretty rare, biggz, but boss fights are hard, maybe its a cost benefit thing. If a player wants the boss fight, they may have to spend some time farming them. worse case you bump the rate a tad, but it isn't like lvl matters when killing them. all up to you.
