Overspawning Salmon in swamp - TheIsland map
Was farming CP today when I experienced a MASSIVE frame drop. Moved forward a few more hops and saw this: http://imgur.com/a/7sfC4

I understand early access and whatever, but I'm just (hopefully) making the devs aware and I'm curious to see if anyone else has had this as well.

Was flying around redwoods searching for high-level pteras and also noticed that fps drop. Just logged on to check if the reason is the same - and yeah, there's really fishies for life :).

I have seen the Fish-crowd there too. It is like all fish (most salmon) swim to this point. Killed some with a Dragon (Fire) and seconds later it was full again. :)

Is there a game.ini for having less fish spawn in.
I understand that there is
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=<DinoName>,SpawnWeightMultiplier=<priority>, OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=<percentage>)
But how do I set it to spawn less, salmon and Coel. because if i can summon less of those I know i can get my local host running better, because it only runs into super processing issues when there are a ton of fish around.

OMG lol I just came across this last night and I was like "Wtf?" I seriously got like 6000x fish meat in 5 seconds. Coords are 58.9, 58.9 for the fish spawnfest on my server.

I haven't used this before. It might just be worth using the DestroyWildDinos command on your server once a day or something.

I have used destroyWildDinos before, I just want a way to have less fish respawn after DestroyWildDinos has been run. Because Then I could also lower the dino spawn rate. And save me a lot of extra loaded dinos (which were mostly fish).
