Its less a mod thing and more Gen2's ocean. It's an exceedingly unstable biome as a whole. Anything added in even low intervals will tend to start spawning abundantly.

Both its percent chance to spawn and the maximum desired number to allow for it out of the total biome population is 0.01.

Meaning it has a 1% chance to spawn and is allowed to make up 1% of the total amount of creatures in its biome at maximum.

Due to the fact there's just so much in the Gen2 ocean biome, though (mostly due to the metric ass-ton of coels everywhere), even low rarity things start being spammed everywhere.

For instance, the Harbinger in my atlas mod has spawn rates of 0.002 (0.2%) and there's still at least 10-15 on the map at any given time.

Don't worry i fixed it, ark was just being weird with the ini file perms. I had to use the server ini access instead of the file itself. The change stuck when i did that.

Now my xiphactinus army can turn things into a whirlpool of blood and death in peace
