Giga spawn weight
The new map runs great for me, except for that on my single player game, there are about 20 gigas just by my tiny base, and when I checked the lava island, there were another 20 or so. Is the Center giga-heavy on purpose or am I running into a bug?

Also noticed a slight issue with the destruction animation for rocks. They disappear intstead of 'shattering'.

If you have so much Giga on The Center - your game is buged...
I played on this map 3 months when it was mod. I dont think they changed spawn rate of Giga.
Giganto was extremaly rare on this map. Spawn only on lava island and on swamp. Only one every dinowipe... So looks like you have some problem with spawn rate.

actually after it became official giga spawn rate is increased, about 3 on lava island, and about a couple on the main land, though not as much as 20

Noticed same, was playing The Center as a mod and it was fine, as we're not using gigas, then I had them completely disabled in end. But now after TheCenter turning into official DLC I'm seeing gigas again, even if my ini file change should prevent their spawns completely. That's the part what I don't like, my ini settings being ignored suddenly, when they worked perfectly fine before update.

Yep. I tried disabling them in game ini, but still there were a lot. Tried destroying all wild dinos too. Dunno.

Looks like a problem we had with Gigas on Valhalla map. First, there were only a few. But since one or two patches ago, the number increased more and more. No server setting we made had any impact. End of the song: we had to disable them completely... in the end we had groups of 8 to 10 Gigas running havok all over the island.

Custom maps and Gigas don't seem to cooperate well.

Im running into a similar problem on my own server atm.
I have Giga's replaced with anky's as I dont like them. (in Game.ini NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Gigant_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Ankylo_Character_BP_C") )
They are still spawning in tough.

The line worked fine on the Island map.
Any way to disable them on The Center now?

Cant even remove the animal with admincheat destroymytarget command?

it does work on other dinos

using the command 'kill' does work for me, but this giga problem is really bugging me. I've replaced them with dilos and they seem to have stopped spawning, but I don't see dilos where they were spawning either.
