Can't find Alphas! Option to spawn with supply drops.

[Phantom]

Hunting for alphas can be a real PITA. Please give us a percentage option to spawn an alpha rex with the red, alpha carno with the yellow and alpha raptor with the purple supply drop. Also give us the option to set the total alive so they don't end up overrunning the map. Now make it happen! :)

Might actually help new players(inc myself on restart) as they'll know where NOT to go as well as existing alphas in newbie areas will despawn because of new spawns if left alone. Another option would be to just bind them to their supply drop location.

Maybe I'm asking too much. How about an option to just spawn the alpha with the supply drop? I want some action! :D

Any new player would end up chopped when trying to go to the beacon ...
Theres already a ton of whining about insects, what do you think would happen when they get instantly killed whenever they try getting a drop? In singleplayer, it would end up with maybe 2-3 alphas per beacon area .. gg?

Alphas are extremely common now after the latest spawning fix, some nights i'm able to kill half a dozen in a few hours.
Having them spawn at item drops would cause a lot of issues.

Check around the mountains, clear our spawns there. You will find them eventually.

What's why I asked for a setting and also to only make them spawn at higher tiered drops. Also mentioned a tethering to the drop which should be nice to solve alphas from wandering to newbie areas.

I can still go for ages without finding any and I'm really not a fan of killing animals for the sake of respawning although I still do it sometimes.

Thanks for the responses though guys.

Alpha Dinos at drops? This is not what I was asking for....

you made a comment on my thread saying you've made this suggestion a while back?

VanillaAlphaRexChance=2
VanillaAlphaRaptorChance=2
VanillaAlphaCarnoChance=2
use these under server settings in GameUserSettings.ini or something like that, if there is no server settings make one. default chance for alpha to spawn is 2 percent when that type of dino spawns changeing the number increases the chance, 10 instead of 2 would equal 10%, etc.

Yes, and who said you asked for that?

The similarity in the posts are that people want beacon drops(some in my case) to be more challenging hence my reason for posting on the thread you created. Having a larger group of people asking for something SIMILAR would have a bigger chance in getting a change in that direction.
