Dragontail
Spawn rates of dragons.
We've had to remove the Dragontail mod because of the spawn rate. So many dragons all over the place. They are everywhere and tons of them.
This makes me sad as I thought this was fixable.
Anyone else having this issue?
The "rares" are not rare and dozens of each type of dragon every where.
I really love the dragons, but it's gotten to the point we can't land anywhere or try to tame anything because there are always 3 to4 dragons around any given area.

Seriously love the the Ice dragon and Lightening dragon. Makes me really sad.

Do you read patches? I've halved them at the very least, you just need to destroywilddinos to get the new spawns to work.

Yes, we both read the patches and we did do the destroywilddinos, twice since the 30th of January.

Would love to have them back on the server.

My partner had wiped the server last night. When he logged in I asked if he would try the mod again, he put it back on and so far I've only seen one, but have not ventured far as I'm only lvl 30 instead of the 86 that i was yesterday. Thank you!

Maybe You Can Post the Command to reduce the ammount of their spawn if possible?

there is no other command other than Destroywilddinos at the moment.

We do a dinowipe every morning after our server does a daily restart. There are still at least 3-5 of every type. Welplings are as common as dodos at the moment. Toxics are as common as phiomia in the swamp. Even the pygmies are pretty common place. Oddly there are two dragons that are as rare as we wish all the others were. Fire and Ice. Been all over the redwoods and snow biome on the center, I've personally only ever seen 2 Ice and 3 fire. Compare that to seeing at least 10 earth dragons in the jungles and trop islands. Lightnings are very abundant in the redwoods, id say as common as doedics there maybe. We are playing on The Center. I don't know if that affects spawn settings. Hopefully this information is helpful when you're trying to tweak things. We'd do dino wipes more oftend but it crashes the server and boots everyone off the map, so we try to just let the server do it on it's own. let me know if you need more info.

I've tried to get them down to reasonable counts, 3-5 of each type sounds good enough for me concidering the amount of tinkering and how much there were before.
Whelplings are supposed to spawn like the dodo do, commonly, even when I have shrunk their spawn ammount a tad.
for some reason, swamp does that in the center, no real clue why or how to fix it on my end, have tried many things though.

I am playing on a Center server aswell, both to have fun playing the game and testing out the mod, and I've only once or twice wiped the dinos, so far, I've seen maybe one toxic on tropical south since last patch I did. Haven't looked at other areas yet, so might be all the "overspawns" are on the other side of the map.

do you have any other mods installed?
Iirly 10 Feb, 2017 @ 12:49pm 
Yes we do, quite a few. But only two add dinos. one adds to spawn tables, The other requires a placed object to cause the dinos from it to spawn. I know about the center swamp spawns. Belive me that has NOTHING to do with your mod and everything to do with how the swamp on the center works. I've mentioned it before, Seven's mod and Monster Ark's custom spawns both removed spawns from the swamp all together. Your mod produces the smallest 'overspawn' i've ever seen, so you must be doing something right! compare less than 10 toxics spawning in the swamp to when Monster Ark's Gobul was spawning between 150 -200 creatures. I'm not gonna complain about 10 dragons XD. I was just giving information and feedback. Its still a fun mod. Also if that's how the whelplings should spawn then they are fine. let me know if i can give any more information that might be helpful.
Crazienous  [developer] 10 Feb, 2017 @ 11:21pm 
well, spawns are currently the best they can get without going too impossible to find, so feedback on other things might be good? I'm still working on things like breeding and stats for example, good info on those might help me along. :)
Iirly 11 Feb, 2017 @ 9:03am 
Ok. Funny you should mention breeding. I was just about to ask if pygmies can breed XD. I would be happy to try breeing these guys. If I can breed pygmies I will scream like a little girl in a princess store. XD. ACTUALLY.. don't tell me. Let me just try on my own. Seriously. I'll figure it out.

I play on the Island and did several Dinowipes- Early this AM actually and they are all over the place again. There is def an issue with spawn rates.
I will also add that this is THE BEST Dragon Mod to date that I have seen :)
Ty for all your work :)

In most places there are about 6 dragons in sight of one another, in swamp area, its 10 plus.
