Pugnacia Dinos *UPDATED*

Boss Spawns, Ascension Portal Question
I ghosted into a couple of player bases and found a couple of uncessary ascension portals, so admin destroyed them. I've also hidden the Ascension Engram to prevent players placing anymore.

So in theory my ascension portal should be the only one left, unless I've missed a base somewhere..

However now Bosses don't seem to be spawning at all. At least I haven't seen any, and ACM doesn't show any. I've tried a fuill wild dino wipe, server restart, and destroying and replacing my ascention portal.

I have the following in my GameUserSettings.INI file: (not changed since before where bosses were present)

[Pugnacia]
MaxBossDinosAllowed=6
TimeBetweenBossSpawnsMinutes=60
MaxPrimevalDinosAllowed=14

Q: Should I expect only 1 boss to spawn every 60 minutes up to 6 max (ie 6 hours for all to spawn), or should all 6 will spawn at once checking every hour?

PrimeVal's are all showing up okay in ACM.

All 6 should be showing up at the same time for the most part

What map, and is Pugnacia top of the mod lists?

Thieves Island. Yes Pugnacia Dinos 833379388 is my first mod in ActiveMods.

It was spawning bosses fine before I destroyed all the player placed ascension portals... reason I hunted and removed them was I had some users getting disconnected not long after connecting - repeatedly, and wondered if having too many ascension portals was the problem..

I have the same issue......my settings are now...
[Pugnacia]
MaxBossDinosAllowed=5
TimeBetweenBossSpawnsMinutes=120
MaxPrimevalDinosAllowed=10

Had defaults before, now they just dont spawn.

I left it a couple hours and checked again. Third Trike and Spinebreaker are now showing. Can't see the other 4 though, unless I'm missing them in the ACM list.

I have the same issue.
But i haven't seen any Primal, Primeval or Bosses.
I have placed the ascension portal but i can't find any.

I've been having this problem for quite a while. I've checked the gameusersettings many times and its correct and i have the portal placed. Getting no bosses or primevals.

Still not seeing all 6 as configured. I flew the entire map hunting for over 3 hours and only found 2 of them. Normally no trouble to find them.

Although since"moving on" from this, I've noticed that other spawns aren't normal either since it seems the 18th patch.. Normally the green oblisk on Theives Island would be overflowing with spawns pretty quickly after destroying wild dinos - particually the bat.. now it's taking hours for anything to spawn at all there, and when they do it seems much reduced on what was there before.

Overall ACM is reporting ~19k total wild dinos - so they're spawning somehwere... a little light? recall seeing 24k before.

Don't think you have the same issue. I'm getting Primals, Primevals, and Bosses spawning.. just not the number of bosses I have configured

Do you just need to put what you put here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/833379388/3377008022019374718/
in the GameUserSettings.ini file in steamapps - common - ARK - Shootergame - Saved - Config - WindowsNoEditor - GameUserSettings.ini?
