Does NPCShipNumMult affect wild creatures too?

[mojoroc 18]

We have SotD spawn set to 0 on our Kraken server, which also has a few small islands in the respective corners... HOWEVER, no wild creatures are spawning! The only thing I can think of is that the SotD NPCShipNumMult  is also somehow setting the wild animal spawn to 0??

OR is it because the Kraken spawn area is active - does it kill off all wild animals in the grid?

From what i heard the Kraken cancel all spawn in the grid. That's the reason people put only the Kraken on the grid, nothing else.

So we removed the EndBossLevel setting from the server we will (eventually) use for the Kraken spawn... but there are still no wild animals on any of the islands in the grid. Any ideas?

It's possible that the save file or the redis database of that grid still think that's it still there. Some settings on the .json file are like that, once you start the server the setting get harcoded into the save file. Trying to change the setting afterword would not work since the save file will not allow it to be overwrite anymore. What you can do is to delete the save file of that particular grid. Make sure no one is in that grid and if people built there ask them to remove there stuff, after stop the server for that grid, delete the save file then restart the server. Doing so will wipe that grid, since there's no more save file, it will be recreated on start up with the new settings. If the creatures still don't spawn after that, my guess will be that it got harcoded into the redis database, at this point the only option will be a complete wipe.

If you want to, you can wait longer and see if anyone else experience this issue and can help out. I nerver got this issue since we don't use the Kraken on our map, my community voted to have more islands then having an empty grid. Also from what they saw on youtube you don't get much as loot when you kill it, a song, kraken hat and some gold, not really worth it.

Cheers,

That's going to be hard (there are bases on some of those islands), but perhaps necessary if we want animals on those islands - all other things seem to spawn fine (including fish)
