So I am not sure if anyone else has noticed, but since these new caves and dinos got added it seems all other dinos are far and few. Now I don't blame the caves directly, I blame the fact that the caves are designed to fill up with small creatures and players are constantly loading them up to explore. This has to be affecting the rest of the worlds dino pop, I don't think I have seen more than 10, maybe 15, dinos in one area since this update.
Again I can't blame the caves fully since this game world is just not designed for the players/basses that we currently support, maybe if they add more landmass that can be built on ( I know that we all know about those oh so fun spots on the map that can't be built on because of snap point issues) it will help resolve the issue. I don't think that increasing the dino spawns will fix this issue either however, since you can't restrict per region spawns... ( so no way to say dont spawn 10000 bugs in caves)

Today (if im right) they purged all wild (not tamed) dino's.
Perhaps thats why some area's aren't as full as before, but again, i wasn;t online while day, but if i remember well they would purge them this weekend.

we did kill them off in an effort to populate the land. caves seem to ignore all ini settings as well. perhaps i'll do 2x again on the next restart and see what happens.

Active Players, Multiple Bases and "taming trash" left behind from taming etc also contributes.
- Tribes should remain reasonable and actually use the land they take.
- Destroy (and raid) old tribes that have timed out buildings. If they are too big, report them to an admin, we can nuke their stuff really fast.
- Tribes leaving the server should drop a line in the forums, so admin can destroy their stuff faster.
- Players should report "taming trash" in the forums with location for admins to destroy.
When dino pop is low stay at your bases for a bit, if every player starts "looking" then it will snowball effect and reduce overall spawns on the server.

It also dont help that people have multiple bases around the map, i know it makes stuff easier sometimes, but when i see people taking land, fenced it, and then only have a foundation with a bed on it...
On the old server i played there where rules, max # of base locations. also people where forced to register the tribe on the forum, once a month they would purge non-registered tribe to keep the server clean. offcourse a warning was ingame.

"taking land, fenced it, and then only have a foundation with a bed on it..." This type of land claiming is specifically prohibited on the server rules and can/should be reported. Please PM a admin with the cords so one of us can look into the to see if any violations are taking place. |

Yes land must have a functional base on it. unless it is a pen close to the main base.

I was going to start another thread, but i'll just add to this one while we are on the subject. Can we have Az's walls removed. Everything except the metal shell and walls has been despawned. A few of us have claimed rex's in there that wont make it out till they are gone.

I understand that it was about the game, not the server, sounded like they would return after the game developed more.
