Ceratosaurus are EVERYWHERE!!!
How do i reduce spawn rate? These dudes are EVERYWHERE.

This is not working:
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="CeratosaurusAA_Character_BP",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.02,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=.03)
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Cerato",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.02,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=.03)

None of my other spawnweightmultipliers are working either, for example:

DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Troodon",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.01,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=.01)
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Pegomastax",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.01,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=.01)
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Steggo",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.09,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=.06)

- Right now each dino has it's own Line Item.
- I tried "Combining" into one-long-line-item-with-all-dinos-within-parenthesis-and that still doesn't work.

I'd like the Ceratosaurus at a ~ 0.02-0.05 spawn rate, within it's place holder.

Suggestions? Thanks!

There is an awful overspawn of Ceratosaurus on my Island singleplayer and I can confirm that none of these work, at least, for me so far.

EDIT: Currently, it seems the only way that works is to control the spawns with SimpleSpawners. I'll keep messing with the ini and see if I can get it to work.

Great topic! I just wanna mention firstly that this creature is great. It looks terrifying and sounds even more terrifying. Can't tell how many times it has jumpscared me when roaring.

However, I must agree with the OP, the Cerato spawn rates are way off the chart. Also considering how terrifyingly strong they are. These two values really need to be balanced out.

Strong Creatures = Less Spawns || Weaker Creatures = More Spawns
The Cerato as is, goes as a strong creature without a doubt.
That's my logic anyhow. Too often I see lower end level Ceratos dumbster entire plains of other creatures. They murder everything, and rarely die.

I also noticed how the Carno spawn rates are way down. Now, I dunno if Cerato spawns take up Carno spawns but I'd say for every 4-5 Ceratos, I see 1 Carno. :((

How are you blocking the spawns with Simple Spawners? Trying to stop these things from covering the map but nothing has worked so far

Edit: Nvm, managed to fix it using the "Spawn Blocker" mod, took no time at all and worked perfectly!
