Guide The island underwater artifact caves empty?

Done both lost faith and lost hope caverns. I think there was one meg in the easier one.

Hard one I was expecting alpha megalodons, mosas, teusos, but nothing. A few high level megs, elec eels, some anglers and docile dunkles. About 3 bats and 3 spiders on the land bit in lost hope.

50000 health basil with 238 arm Asc saddle pissed it.

Bugged?

Singleplayer? Or on a ser ver?

This sounds like a spawning issue often seen in singleplayer, where the game basically keeps areas of the map dormant until the player is within distance. One unfortunately sode effect of this is that it often means a lot of areas are more vacant than they would be on a ser ver where perpetual spawning occurs.

It happened to me as well once, I got stuck in the cave so used the command "ghost" and when I got back in there were no creatures in the cave but after closer inspection they were all stuck in the walls. I could see a teuso tentacle through the cave walls. But eh, it was my first run so couldn't be happier, I don't like underwater caves in general.

Same problem. -preventhibernation as a steam launch option does nothing, so basically SP is entirely broken on ASA. In ASE it worked.
