Ark: Survival Ascended Players Are Having Major Issues With Aberration's "Safe" Spawns

players are currently enjoying, but a strange bug is resulting in some fun, if somewhat confusing, overpopulation problems. The latest expansion for the beloved survival game features one of the most unique and popular maps, shifting the action underground into a series of gigantic caves and tunnels. Within this space, survivors can discover all manner of oddities, but a bizarre addition that no one was expecting is the amount of Paraceratherium running around the place, even in zones that should be marked as «safe» spawns.

Posting to Reddit, user castDragon3 shared their confusion in a brief clip that sees them flying around a cavern that's absolutely overrun by Paracers.

The generally docile dinosaurs can be seen on every level of the cave and while it's undoubtedly good for those who want to bring home a massive stack of meat, it's certainly odd to see the population exist on such a scale in such a small area. Commenter Baron_Cartek pointed out that they've encountered a similar Paracer boom close to Fertile Lake, while user jharris2017 also noted that spawns have been particularly out of hand in their single-player game.

The massive amount of Paracers seen in is widely regarded as a glitch given that the version of the map didn't feature the dinosaurs spawning at such a rate. Some players have noted that the issue isn't exclusive to Paraceratherium either:Survivors have experienced an abundance of frogs and snakes, upwards of 30 on screen at any given time. The bug doesn't appear to be persistent though as hunting the creatures brings the spawn rate down and seemingly ensures the population doesn't spike again.

The broken-down Ark in the Aberration DLC is one of the largest and most challenging in the franchise, making these spawn points great areas to start.

Another solution to the spawn bug is to conduct a Dino Wipe either with console commands or mods that carry out the process automatically. This solution quickly kills off wild dinosaurs, allowing users
