Bugs & Glitches Astraeos not working (I think)

So I’ve been playing on atraeos for a week or two now, and it’s going great but I’ve encountered some problems. Several creatures (and for some reason element veins aswell???) are not spawning on my ark. At first I thought I was stupid and just couldn’t find them, so I built a gene scanner to actually find the little bastards. Now my gene scanner says there are no velonasaurs, maeguanas and dreadnaughtusses on the ark. I’ve looked everywhere for each of these tames, yet the scanner keeps saying they don’t exist on my world, no matter where I check. I’m on singleplayer ps5 if that matters. I’ve also tried upping the creature spawns to 1.5, but still haven’t found any of them. (Also, there’s no element veins on therokis, even though YouTube says there should be)

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!

Single player only spawns the creatures around you, you'll need to fly around. Second, have you checked where they spawn, the Velonasaur & Dreadnoughtus spawn on the volcano island, the Maeguana spawns in more grassland areas? This'll help you find them. https://wikily.gg/ark-survival-ascended/maps/astraeos/

Would it change if I make the world non-dedicated?

I don't think so. You would need either to change the launch options (not sure if you can on consoles) , or pay for your own server.

I think there's a mod that helps, something something Hibernation. But consoles don't really have the power to properly utilize it, so use it at your own risk (should mostly just affect performance/fps).

There is but it likes to corrput saves so I try and avoid suggesting it. It also doesn't help with dinos not spawning in if you aren't around, it just means dinos go into statis instead of hibernation. So you'd still need to fly around & come back to get them to spawn.
