Dragon taming lvl cap and overspawning of dimetrodons
We've installed this mod on our private pve server using The Center map and it works great. I've done a lot of reading here and we've had none of the issues people are signaling. We've had constant spawns of dragons on the half burnt island next to the volcano. When there were none, we did, as suggested, clear some of the mobs and pretty soon a dragon popped up. However, we have 2 major issues which I'd like to address.

1. Is there a max level for dragons after taming?
I've tamed a lvl 125 dragon last night. Perfect tame, using rex kibble and right at the very end, before he ate the last piece, it was 98.2% effectiveness and it said 61 bonus levels. Yet when he was done a second after, it was lvl 159 instead of 185. So is there a max cap on the after taming levels? If so can we remove it via commands or ini changes?

2. Massive spawns of dimetrodons on the Volcano island
So with the dragons pretty much working great, the only downside I've seen is that after a few days of having the mod installed, was that the Volcano island got literally covered in dimetrodons. Like thousands of them cover the beaches of the island. Other than the Dragon mod, we only have 2 other mods installed, building mods such as Advanced Architecture and Bridges. The massive spawn started after the first time that we didn't get dragons on half burnt island and we cleared it to hasten the spawn of a dragon... So a bit later, we noticed the hoards of dimetrodons literally as far as the eye can see...

Now, while this did provide a great way to farm xp for the newly tamed dragons, it completely messed up the Volcano mini biome and I really wanna fix that. Is there any connection to the Dragon mod and is there any fix? We've tried wiping all dinos, but it didn't work. You kill all of them, they respawn...

Cheers

The massive overspawn of Dimetrodon is a bug with the vanilla game that has been hot-fixed. You'll probably want to run destroywilddinos so that your server can naturally repopulate itself, or if you can't afford the temporary performance drop that destroywilddinos brings, go full exterminator mode and mow down every Dimetrodon you see on the volcano isle.

I have put in the hard work to kill all of them off, as we tried the wipe all server reset, but I think it was before they hot fixed it. I've actually had to do the killing twice. For some reason, it first happened on the south side of the volcano, and when I was done there, the north side got overtaken as well.

Today it was all clear. I mean still quite a few, but nowhere near the insane levels of the weekend spawns...

still trying to find out if there's a level cap placed on taming these dragons. Anyone knows?
