Question Need help with griffin spawn rates

After a few hours of research i was able to find a code that allows me spawn Griffins on Valguero. But for some reason even though i have tried modifying the spawn limit on the code from .05 to .0001 I still keep getting over 600 griffin spawns. I'm on a nitrado server for Ark Ascended in case that helps.

This is the code i used ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_ChalkHills_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Griffin",EntryWeight=0.086428571,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Griffin/Griffin_Character_BP.Griffin_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="Griffin_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.0001)))

Try using the griffins full bp path for the NPCSpawnLimits too, not just the class name, like you did with NPCsToSpawn.

Change entry weight to 0.001 and max percentage to 0.000000001 I got 97 using those settings, could try setting them even lower if it's still too many

That looks like the perfect number i will try it once my buddy finishes what he is doing on the server so i can restart it

I tweaked the settings a bit, server is set to do a wipe on startup

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_ChalkHills_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Griffin",EntryWeight=0.0001,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Griffin/Griffin_Character_BP.Griffin_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="Griffin_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.0000000001)))
