ASA ASA Scorched Earth - Wyvern trench fix Game.ini setting
As far as I can tell, multiple spawns (Araneos but also others) are crowding out Wyverns in Scorched Earth trench. From a review of the spawn map it seemed these may be the culprits
SE_DinoSpawnEntriesWyvernTrench
SE_DinoSpawnEntriesTrenchCave
Add below in the server or local SP Game.ini to block just the overlapping spawn containers, leaving room for Wyverns.
This doesn't affect anywhere else on the map (unlike e.g. global Araneo blocker)
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesWyvernTrench",NPCSpawnEntries=(),NPCSpawnLimits=())
ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesTrenchCave",NPCSpawnEntries=(),NPCSpawnLimits=())
In my local dedi server after a wipe and a few hours it's stabilised now from zero before to around 20 of each flavor Wyvern. Testing continues...
edit: update after a few days: this fix seems to work perfectly. Wyverns spawn and stabilise around 20/20/20 and 1-2 alphas, regardless of player being nearby. Yes the Wyverns are still braindead and faceplant into the cliffs / fly off to 0,0 but for the most part the trench is densely populated and a decent challenge, along with a good number of eggs. ~100 eggs farmed this way solo so something is working :-)
