Why are there no Rhynio spawns???
I know there are already a few discussions on this but I just need to confirm that no one has no idea why they aren't spawning on single player. I hopped on my island map and searched around, but no luck so i installed the s+ plus dino scans to see if there was any. I dino wiped 3-5 times but still nothing. I then thought maybe they weren't picking it up out of render so I spawned in a snow owl and thermaled along the spawn areas in the swamp. Not a single rhynio.
I really don't understand what is happening, as most of the solved spawn problems are for servers, and as stated im on Single player. Does anyone have any clue? Or is it something wrong on my end.

I have seen one, and I mean ONE, naturally spawning rhynia ever in single player. Ever. It was a level 5 female.

There's a mod in the workshop called Rhyniagnatha everywhere. If you add that, it fixes the issue completely. They'll spawn normally in the swamp. In fact, after a while they're sort of a nuisance. But at least they will spawn :)

If you're on the island, they spawn normally in the swamp on the south side of the redwoods, and the entire chunk of swamp from the east end of the redwoods all the way out to the beach in a very wide area (literally wider then the rewoods). I have never seen one spawn on the north side of the redwoods.

From what I understand they're rare and limited spawns, you're not always going to find one. :steamsad:

What i ve seen is that they take around 3 -4 hours to spawn on our sever even after a dinowipe but are instantly there if it is a server restart including a dinowipe that you cant make in singelplayer.
Stinks. I gave up on them.

Ive seen two in about 15 days on The Island in SP. They were both female and under level 20 and were sighted in the center south beach starting area.

So Im guess they spawned in the swamp.

They might require difficulty of 1.0 and max difficulty checked to spawn?

The new BUG definitely has universal balancing issues thou I don't think its in its status so much as other functions such as Spawn rate, conversion rate, and incubation amidst other things.

1 roughly every 3 hours on the island at best if it doesn't die immediately after it spawns. Typically males spawn low level and get themselves killed quick. From what my crew has been able to deduce this is about what we think the spawn timer is.

I've been playing my single player for hours yesterday and about three hours today, Am on Lost Island, and have not seen one Rhyniagnatha , Am wondering are they even in my game lol , Do I have to start a new game for them to spawn ?

The spawn pool info is busted. Doesn't matter how many dinowipes or how many dinos you kill in the area.

Just install the Rhyniagnatha everywhere mod (if you can), and problem will be solved. High level rhynia are still rare.

Thanks everyone, good to know that this is ongoing, though not sure if they did this intentionally with extremely low spawn rates cause they so op. But then again shadow manes seem to have no spawn issues so idk. I might just wait till ascended to give the old bug a go.

Rhyniognatha only spawn on two maps: The Island and Lost Island. Why?

I had more luck hunting for Carchas than Rhynios ..
RNG is either super bad or the spawns are busted.

I still cannot get one to spawn naturally so i settled for adding custom spawns via .ini
This is frustrating on a whole new level. I finally found a lady rhy and she's low health cause she's getting her little stinger kicked by the many stegos live in the LostIsland swamps. I mean a high level tek stego can pack a punch and she has riled all of them plus a paraceratherium. That's by the time I find her. She's already bleeding green goo. I net her with the gun but I have seconds to get them off her. AND SHE DIES. omg this is frustrating
Now I have two pheromones sitting in my frig kinda dumb as frig base is back on Fjordur I don't feel like making a base on Lost and TheIsl just to catch one dino. gah This is more like a job. Honestly going back to pouting and breeding purple sinos.
