Do you maybe have your dinocount reduced below 1.0? I ask because this can cause rare animals to not spawn.

If you are playing single player only 1 will typically spawn unless you raise your dino count in the options. Be careful though, raise it too high and you'll get more than you want!!! There is also a respawn wait time if you just tamed one or killed one.

i havent changed dinocount so it shouldnt be under 1.0 right? the thing i have done is to change only quetzals spawnrate to 3.0 but it didnt seem to change anything

do i have to change dinocount in the game files or can i do it in the single player settings?

Correct.

Well in case of the giga it could be that the spawnslots are occupied by other carnivores in the area where the gigas should spawn. Killing them all off might help but the spawnchance for giga is still very low I think it is something around 3%.

No clue in regards to quetzals. I have had the same issue on the island in the past and I never really figured out why they sometimes seem to not spawn. Maybe someone else knows.

Both does the same. If you do it ingame it will change the value in the config as long as it isn´t set to read only.

if you have the loot and tranqs just spawn one in on single player
