set it to 1 that = difficulty 4
aka max 120 dinos

that was the bit i was confused with, so in 'difficulty offset' option, should that be '1'? thanks

The table on the site shows you the settings and dino levels you get.

so there isnt actually a way so more lvl 120 dinos are spawned, just still luck?

[Smithy164]

just takes a long time to find a 120 wild dino.......i believed increasing difficulty would spawn more high lvl dinos.......but is this not the case?

You should set the difficulty,then use the admin command destroywilddinos,then restart the server.That would be the best way to start to see lvl 120's.

hmmm ok then, ill try that, does it need a 'destroywilddinos' command using? or would they start spawning regardless, ive already reset the server since i changed to '1'

[OGNocturnal]

or just the command in itself would work fine.

[Smithy164]

ok i havent used the command yet.....so without doing that we wouldnt see then spawn, or they would only spawn once there is room? cheers

Thats the admin commands incuding how to input it.

Edit: you would see them spawn but dinos would have to die first across the island and even then getting a level 120 would be a dice roll.Personally,id wipe all of the wild ones.better chance of high levels spawning then.

ye thanks, i know how to use the command, just wasnt sure how the mechanics worked, whether they would spawn without using the command, just when more wild dino space was free for them to spawn

basically ur world is FULL. with old dinos. as they fight with each other and u kill them CHANCES are they fill with 1-120 dinos ranging MORE on the lower end side, very rare 100+. wild dinos command kills ALL dinos not owned by anyone on the server. so the server will instantly *over a few minutes* repopulate the server with new dinos with the new difficulty code.

also a good command to use when we get new dinos like later today with the dung beetle and what ever it was, so they get even spawns without having to go out and kill a bunch of ♥♥♥♥ first

[OGNocturnal]

^exactly that :D

[Smithy164]

ok cheers for clearing that up......it has been at '1' for the last 2 days maybe........so i guess by this point that process will already have started happening, i guess i dont really have to use the command :)
