Dinowipe

Sounds good @Chris

I'll need convincing on this, what benefits would this bring?

As I see it a dino wipe is likely to be more of inconvenience if you are tracking a Shiny dino over the restart period, or if you are planning on taming a dino after a restart. If you are unhappy with the quality of the dinos in your area you can always kill them. I do not see a legitimate reason for this either from a gameplay or technical perspective. The easter event has just ended what's the harm in finding some easter dodos to chase a chibi you want, or finding a dino with colours that would only be otherwise obtainable through breeding?

You can still place eggs even though the event is over as I have done that myself on the server. Killing dinos to get one you want to spawn is just part of the game. How are dinos not repopulating correctly?

I believe the dinos are over spawning causing issues. We might have to tone down some dinos spawning. This would reduce the need of having to do this every day. Maybe once a week / two weeks could help maintain the server but I do agree once a day is excessive and could cause issues as it did previously. It corrupted a map for us before.

Okay so I am just going to drop this as there's no point in spending time coming up with a response as there's already been made a decision. 

Emma we are debating the issue. If there is an issue which there seems to be, As a idea was added for this.

So could you help us with fixing the actual issue? I don't want to do a dino wipe every day but if there is over spawn we can sort it.

Just now, Emma said:

You do not have to go in every single day and do a dino wipe, there's a setting for it?

This is not the point. The point is to fix the overspawn if there is one and to possible do a dino wipe now and again if the population does grow too much after that

I don't see any issues with overspawning. Let's work on a compromise here and decide on a day and time once per week to do a wipe. I'm thinking Thursday nights, as it gives enough time before the weekend where we are likely to have more players.

I have now implemented a weekly dino wipe on Thursday mornings approximately 10 minutes before restart
