Badass Drake and Wyvern spawns
Hey everybody!
I need some help.
I flew over the island several times, but i couldn't find ANY Drakes, not even Wyverns.
So i tried to set Spawn Weights in the Game.ini, but the tag for the Badass Drakes are not correct i think. I don't want to spawn Drakes manually I want to find wild ones.
I hope you guys can help me with my issue, why I have zero Drakes and Wyvern spawns.

Pretty sure the tags on the Docs sheet are correct. Try to increase it to some absurd level like 1000 and destroywilddinos and see if you see a bunch to test if it matter that much.

Okay i can give it a try, but I increased the spawnlimit to a 100 and the spawnpercentage also to a 100. So normally the Badass Poison Drake is the only mob that should spawn, but thx I give it a try.

Okay I tried it. I added this to my Game.ini file: DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=BadassDragonPoison,SpawnWeightMultiplier=1000,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.5)
And I did not found any Poison Drake, but I found a wild Fire Drake for the first time at Far's Peak. Wyverns btw are spawning normal (I did not change them in ini file).
I'll just play on my map and maybe I'll find a Poison Drake. I just want to have one, because they're so damn cool looking and nice for tames too.
So if you have any ideas about that just let me now ;)

You do t want to set the spawnlimit lower than 1 if you want more spawns. A value of 1 means "take the game's default". So setting it to 0.5 means you're limiting it by 50%. I always keep it to false and just change the weight multipler, it seems to work just fine that way.

But if you want more, you should make it 2.0 or something higher than 1 at leasy.

Okay, that makes sense Yea i tried to set it to false and just set the WeightMultiplier very high and no changes at all even after destroywilddinos :/ I'll give that a try, again. But thx for your answer

You are restarting the server/game after you change the game.ini file? It does not automatically change the settings real time. You must restart server or the game if you are on singleplayer and make sure the settings is still changed before launching again. Then try destroywilddinos

I play SP and yes I restart my game every time I change the Game.ini. I raised the spawm multiplier to 3 now and I just play and hope they will spawn.
