Possible issue report [FPS drop]
Greetings!

I have been playing and using this mod for quite some time, but after the update the game suddenly started to experinece FPS drops so heavy it caused the game to freeze for less of a second each time you moved your character/dino or when moving the camera.
I thought it was a bit strange as I had not changed any graphic settings or anything else, I tried a DestroyWildDinos but it didn't change anything, instead it seemed to get worse the longer I played.
So I figured it was either a mod issue or ARK itself, so I started with eliminate mods by disable them one by one (as I use 8 others including this one) When I disabled this mod and preformed a DestroyWildDinos the FPS drop stopped. So I would assume this mod is the cause, I did a search on the forums and only found 1 other topic mentioning the same issue I had, but I relalized that my graphic card isn't a top high end one (NVIDIA GTX 770) so people with higher end graphic cards might not even notice it. That or something went wrong somewhere, my ini files isn't set to spawn massive amount of dinos and as I have said before, I have changed nothing proir to the new update.

I am not sure what the cause is, I would say it might be a spawn issue or a coding that went wrong somewhere. But I am no expert, nor am I saying that this mod is actually the cause. I am only wriiting down my observation. Normally when you disable something and the issues stops its most likily the cause, but it could also be a combo of ARK have done something in the coding that can't be fix by a mod, so yeah. I just thought I wanted to share what I have observed. Whenever it will be looked into is up to the creator.
