halp (spawn issues)
long story short, I am doing a basically complete overhaul of Fjordur spawns using .ini code (I had to make an automated formula for the project, it's a whole thing) but for whatever reason completely overwriting spawn zones does not seem to be applying to AoA creatures? for example, I've overwritten every spawn entry that appears in Jotunheim and *none* of those include timber wolves (I've checked several times) and yet timber wolves *will not stop spawning* in Jotunheim. I'm having the same issue with cave lions & aberrant corvus in Vanaheim and hella overspawn of timber wolves in Asgard, at least as far as the ones I've noticed. (the issue is also persisting specifically with stygiomoloch and styracosaurus from Kraken's Better Dinos, but no other creatures as far as I can tell).

for Kraken's, the fix will be easy since I can just disable those creatures entirely. however, for the AoA creatures, I do want them to spawn, so I don't want to manually override their spawns, but if I can't solve the problem I may have to and then add them back in where they're supposed to using Simple Spawners. I try to limit SS usage though since too much can corrupt a save.

basically, I'm wondering if anyone has any insight as to why that could possibly be or what I could do about it. knowledge as to specifically what spawn zones each of the creatures use, or how to find that information, would also be very helpful if anyone has it.
