I went in to the Magic Ark Settings and used the customize dinos settings. I selected Chalicotherium and used replace with Gacha. Now i've done dino wipes and i can't seem to find chalico or gacha's anywhere on the island. Did i do something wrong or is there some other way for me to do what i'm trying to accomplish here?

any help appreciated. Thanks!

there are no natural dino spawners that have gachas on the island you will have to add them to a spawning container first

The "magic" replacement tool, only works if you replace Dino A with Dino B in SpecificSpawner, otherwise it applies to GlobalSpawner. Chalico's, by default, are weighted a bit lighter than other Dinos to avoid them creating a flashmob after a dino wipe, so given enough time you should still see them spawn. However, since Chalico's are NOT in the global spawn table, you'll not see them replaced with a Gacha.

The GlobalSpawn thing is something I've brought up to the Staff, but their guy who handles website stuff has been super busy lately, so it may take a bit for them to respond and update the tool to include the disclaimer.

You need to figure out what spawner you want Gacha to appear at, and then add the ini info to the Game.ini file to update the spawn points appropriately.

any good info on how to know how to do that? or what the spawner names are? I'm going to look it up also but just trying to get a bump in the right direction a little more if i can.

Thanks for the reply

If you look at the ARK wiki on gamepedia, the official maps will have their spawner names, as well as the spawns attached.
