Simple Spawners

I need help with setting up the most basic creature spawner there is.... pls dont be rude
Hey, im totally confused rn.. looked into the spawners and I dont get how to set them up in terms of numbers, like how many creature per interval and where the limit is.
If i click left in the column on the wanted creature and type in 2 there, does that mean it will spawn 2x every (force) spawn/interval or is thats meant to be the max limit where it will not spawn any more? Cause right where all the settings are is the "Max # of creatures" entry which i took as max/limit but it does not work either way <.< lets say "achatina 2" on the left and "10" at max# on the right side
supposed to: spawn 2x achatina every X minutes and stop when there are 10x in total
what it does(after apply): 1st Forcespawn spawns 2x achatina, 2nd Forcespawn nothing and so on - weird is that if we change the limit from 10 to 1 and leave the amount (on the left) at 2 it will only forcespawn 1x achatina, so it respects the limit i set but only in terms of LIMITING if its less than the amount per interval (left side) ..... how does that make sense? If it is not continuing to spawn X amount per interval UP TO the max and only limiting the initial spawn....................isnt that max# nonsense or am I using the whole thing like an upside down book at the moment? before update it was a bit easier to understand, have something in memory along:
-Interval= X min
-amount per spawn= 1 - 9999
-max creatures/spawnlimit= 9999
so i thought its the same idea but either im doing it wrong or there might be something buggy(?)

thanks for the time to read that chaos and for any potential help/input
and please try not to be rude with me if im right now not seeing the butter in this fridge >.>

It just limits the total number of creatures spawned by that spawner. The number next to the creature is the total number of that specific creature you want.

So... I cant tell it to spawn only a small amount every interval until the max is full?
When it will only spawn the amount 'next to the creature', why are there 2 numbers to enter? am so confused ..
I mean it was possible to set it up like that before, is that option gone?
I had for example an alpha wyv spot in a big cave, it was set up to spawn 1x Wyvern only every 60minutes BUT up to 3 in total, so at 1h it spawned 1x, 2h it spawned another one and stopped with the third until one (at least) got killed.

edit:
putting the number next to creature to double the wanted amount and cutting the chance of spawn down to 30% has the wanted effect of spawning over time if pool has room, but I feel it was much easier and easier to control/finetune before the update, just my view tho
