I'll pop it on my cluster's test server and see what's what.

Gonna mess with those settings a bit; currently there are Dragons everywhere; every 100ft stretch a new one pops into view

In my area, gas and lightning - my test base sits around 43, 67 (just across from the pillar of rock with the metal nodes on top). Both elders and regular dragons.

I can't be sure, but it doesn't look like the 'MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow' is doing it's job. The spawns start off okay, but within an hour the island is full of dragons... I had to adjust the weight to get something approaching a sane (read: rare) spawn rate.

wel we all have different opinions what do you think is rare in your opinion weight makes them spawn less frequent but doesent affect their max amount spawned in
