EXTINCTION CORE spawn problems
Hello guys.I decide to create that discussion here, because is all abouth EXTINCTION CORE and it's problems with missing or overspawn creatures on all 3 main maps of Ark. Has all we know, after last mod update and multiple game updates, extinction core now have problems at any single map. I've got huge game experience with this mod last 3 years (around 3600-3700 hours) and know it very good, that's why i decide to share with all of you my observations. But first let's start with the list of the problematic creatures:

1. Brown Tribesmans - not spawn on center and the island
2. Alpha Quetzal - never spawn on all 3 maps
3. Alpha Megalosaurus - too rarest on Center and Island, not spawn on Ragnarok
4. Nagini - not spawn on Ragnarok, too rare for island, ok on the center
5. Easter Bunny - Too rare on Ragnarok, ok on the Center, not spawn on the island
6. Tek Giganotosaurus - Extreme rarest on all 3 maps
7. Apex Giganotosaurus - not spawn on Ragnarok, extreme rare for other 2 maps
8. Scion of Nature - Terror bird - not spawn on all 3 maps
9. Scion of Nature - Bigfoot - not spawn on all 3 maps
10. Scion of Fire - Direwolf - not spawn on the Island and Ragnarok
11. Scion of Fire - Sabertooth - Not spawn on all 3 maps
12. Alpha Dunkleosteus - too rarest on all 3 maps
13. Alpha Mosasaur - rarest on Ragnarok, Ok for othe 2 maps
14. Shinehorn - never spawn on the Center
15. Prime Shinehorn - never spawn on the Center
16. Psycho, the Supreme Warchief - Super Extreme Rarest on the Center
17. Odracir, Supreme Reaper - Super Extreme Rarest on Ragnarok
18. Omega Megapitec - Too Rare on the Center
19. Reaper King - Rare on the Ragnarok
20. Reaper Queen - Rare on Ragnarok
21.Alpha Reaper King - too Rare on Ragnarok
22. Beast of Darkness - too Rare on Ragnarok
23.Manticore Warlord - never spawn on the Center and the Island


Many of you will tell that some of this creatures havent problems, but that is not exacly right, because this 3 different maps have close and at same time different problems.

Let's start with maybe the most loved map for this mod - RAGNAROK. Most loved and maybe most problematic from the maps. On this map problems are big by my oppinion because:
Supreme Reaper King, Beast of Darkness, Easter Bunny, All Reapers, Tek Giganorosaurus, Alpha Giganotosaurus, Maguma, are extreme rarest and is very hard to spawn most of them. Dodorex is rare, especially good lvl ones Except that there is a few creatures, wich never spawn there - Alpha Megalosaurus, Alpha Duncleosteus, Alpha Quetzal, Apex Giganotosaurus, Scions of nature - bigfoot and terrorbird, Scions of fire - Direwolf and Sabertooth, Scion of Winter - Challicotherium and Leedsichthys. Yes many of you will tell that most of this creatures are not important - yes but NO!!! Reapers spawn only at volcano top, is rarest and if you want to get supreme armor and Supreme Reaper King you need to spare months to farming resources. The only good is that is easy to spawn omega's to create primordials and to catch few Ultimate bokito's. And that the map give you and Scorched Earth engrams and brown tribesmans, 2 wyvern zones, Manticore Warlord (wich is totally pointless).
MAJOR MINUS - can't learn all tek engrams, because we have only dragon and manticore bosses on the arena.

Next on the list is the Island - The original and main map for everything. Unfortunelly and here have problems. Let's start with creatures wich i didn't saw there - Easter Bunny, Alpha Quetzal, Scions of fire - Direwolf and Sabertooth, Scion of Nature - Bigfoot and TerrorBird and brown tribesmans. And that is!!! That is the creatures wich not spawn on the island. With the exception of the Easter Bunny, others are irrelevant. Too rare spawn have Tek, Apex and Alpha Giganorosaurus, Alpha Duncleosteus, Alpha Griffin . All other creatures are spawnable, some of them little rare, but spawnable. Even Psycho, Odracir, Beast of Darkness and all Reapers!!! Look's like the ISLAND is the map with less problems. Major minus - because this map is the original one, most of the spawned creature are low lvl and need patience to can catch high lvl dino's. But let's not forget that on the island we can learn all tek engrams and we have the TEK Cave, wich give to us +15 lvls on the players and offcourse the final game experience with final boss.

And to finish the list i can't miss the Center - the best and the worst at the same time. WHY? The BEST because there is a paradice for all the REAPERS, Dodorexes and Beast Of Darkness. The map where easyest can go to the final creatures and final armor, but with 1 condition - if you manage to spawn Psycho!!! Yes Psycho is very big problem there. And here is why is the WORST!!! The map is HUGE, is hard to clear and to force spawn Psycho and Omega Megapitec. Yes Omega megapitec is the other creature wich is very rare there.Except them very rarest are and Tek, Apex and Alpha Giganorosaurus.... Prime Shinehorn, Alpha Quetzal, Skeletal Giganotosaurus, Scions of Nature - Terrorbird and Bigfoot, Scion of Fire - Sabertooth never spawn. Except that because of the 2 monster areas on the center we have and extreme spawn of Zomdodo's and Alpha Zomdodo's. I recomend for this map to put fix for Psycho and Omega Megapitec to increase theyre spawn, because, believe me, this map is very hard for cleaning and this zombdodos very fast respawns and block other spawners. One more minus is that cant learn all tek engrams - broodmother and megapitec are the arena bosses.

At the end of this i want to put here something like a universal spawn fix for Psycho and Tek Giganotosaurus. Universal, because that spawn zone exist on any single map, but it need to be adjusted to the map, because that area is with different size on the different maps. At this case this fix is created for the Center, but if you use it on ragnarok or island you will have overspawn of this 2 creatures. So be carefull with this and adjust them to your wish

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesGrassland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Psycho",EntryWeight=0.001000,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Psycho_Character_BP_Core_C")),(AnEntryName="Tek Giganoto",EntryWeight=0.002000,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("TekGigant_Character_BP_Core_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Psycho_Character_BP_Core_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.500000),(NPCClassString="TekGigant_Character_BP_Core_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.000000)))

2 3 6 7 and 13 never been found,4 5 and 12 aren't sure, others can be found.
But unlike what happened to you, to me, alpha tex, alpha giga nor Titan the dino never found on my Ragnarok, not sure why. :steamfacepalm:
But, mod is not going to be updated any time soon, so just cheat spawn what you want.
