On our server we have a lot of solo players and small companies and I've been doing things to try to accommodate them. We are mostly a PVE community but we run PVP events. We average about 9 islands per map square on our existing map. With the climate templates Ships of the Damned (SoTD) spawn frequency is set about about .75. Some of our players really have difficulty with the existing Brig ships of the damned. Part of what makes it really difficult is how they seem to spawn in groups NOW
FWIW I'm currently testing the following in Game.ini only, no JSON changes in the grid and no wipe:
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=ShipNPC_Brig,SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.1)
After server restart and destroywilddinos in all grids and another restart, so far so good. We had swarms before, and now we get 1 or 2 in open sea, or 5-6 near PVE islands. I chose 0.1 so that I could actually see the change, if any. However, they do seem to accumulate
