How to increase golden dodo spawns?
I have a small server which is running genesis and a few other mods on the center map. We are now at the point where we need to tame drakes/better creatures, though we have found very few golden dodos after hours of looking.
I looked on the forums and typed this into my game.ini file though have seen no changes:

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=Dodo,SpawnWeightMultiplier=300,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=False,SpawnLimitPercentage=10)

If anyone knows how to increase spawns or maybe just spawn them in it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

They only spawn where normal dodos would, along the beach. Just comb the beachs of all of the islands. I find tons.

We are on the center map by the way... we search beaches for hours and find one very rarely...

increase it? I'm on the center as well and there pretty much everywhere. Just scan the beaches and tropical north/south island. I have two roaming around my north tropical base right now

Do you have any custom settings on?? We have a base next to the south tropical island and search the beaches of both + the other tiny islands often. Since we have only found 4 golden dodos after around 80 hours of play... I think there's something wrong.

The only custom settings I added was to lower badass spino spawns and lower alpha and prime alpha dodos as all of em were over spawning to insane levels. (five spinos and three alphas in oen bend in the centers river with two more spinos and two dodos further down the same strech) as well as disable the wardens. Outside that and boosting max exp, taming time, and egg hatch time... nothing that would hinder the spawns or spawn rates to anything else. the rest is all default.

You have difficulty offset as 1 I'm assuming?

Yep. I already have seven of the things tamed and using them on wonder as guards as my dino pen still gets some wild spawns inside.

What do your golden dodos look like? as I have seen on someone's server they are large, yellow-gold and fleecy. The golden dodos on my server look dark gold and are only a little bigger than normal dodos...

Not at my base atm, but I only had to cross the river to find one.

If you go around killing all the dodo more should spawn, with a chance of being gold.
or just use this

Are you sure you're not mistaken elite dodos? They do come in a muted golden color and are half that size.

There's a gold one roaming around my old base location.

We 100% do not have these in the game, and go around killing the dodos all the time.
