232.8 and out of control Dino spawns on Herb Island
So, for some time I have been using Herbivore Island as a safe haven for egg farming and have maintained an open air base there with some simple walls blocking off the the two Northern arms of the bay.

These walls have been working properly for more than 2 months and I have never had any dinos walk around/through in all that time.

Since the latest (232.6 or 232.8) patches which were installed yesterday, I have had 3 or 4 Brontos randomly spawn in the middle of my base in one night and they ripped everything up (one time it was provoked by me trying to "encourage" it to leave, the second time, it aggro'd completely at random).

I have also noticed an absolutely ridiculous amount of Trikes, Stegos and Ankys spawning outside of the gates, to the point where they are an impediment to navigation to the rest of the island.

Has anyone else noticed out of control spawning around Herb Island lately? It was very annoying to loose all my storage and eggs/kibble, but it does give me the nudge to build a proper set of buildings and some real infrastructure there at least.

This would not be the first time a patch mesed up the spawns. We had major issues with alpha raptors spawning along the southern beach were no alpha raptor ever spawn before the Biome update but it's been quite some time since we've had a raptor incident.

The spawns u described are normal its to small for the game to move them to another pat so they sawn at back of hill and can walk into denter of island the fall can aggro

These Brontos were spawning inside the base on the Northern side, not at the back of the hill in the South. There was no falling as-such, they just appeared and immediately got stuck in the middle of my tamed dinos.

This has never happened before, and is only after one of the two latest updates.
The fact that the spawn rate of the other dinos also increased dramatically was cause for concern too.
For the few months I have had the base, Herb Island would have one or two trikes wandering around the front gates, but in the last day or two, there are no less than a dozen wild dinos crowded into a square space maybe 20 foundations on a side.

Anyway, this post is less of a whinge and more of a general query to see if any others with bases on Herb Island had suddenly had issues like this.

I am finding bats all over the place outside of caves at the moment. Spawns must've gotten messed up again.

Keep logging on with parasaurs inside my base. Definitely something up.
