what is region 1-5? east west mid north south i can tell but what number is which
 * Do you mean something like "Cnidaria (1-5)"? This is the name that the developers gave this group. As far as I see the numbers are a quantity. It means that up to 5 Cnidaria can spawn in this group. There are no regions with numbers. --Flachdachs (talk) 16:51, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Query string for automatically selecting creature
I was hoping to better integrate the Wiki's spawn maps into the Dododex app. Would it be possible to add a query string that automatically selects a creature when the page loads?

I took a stab at the code, but I'm not that familiar with integrating Javascript into the Wiki, so I'm afraid I'd break it (or worried it might cause unrelated issues).

For example, with this URL: https://ark.gamepedia.com/Spawn_Map_(The_Island)?creature=Achatina

// Get creature name from URL var defaultCreature = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search).get('creature')

// Find the option, select it, then trigger a change event. $select.find('option:contains("' + defaultCreature + '")').prop('selected', true).change

Let me know if this is something that could be added! --Danlev (talk) 09:40, 16 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Added automatic selection based on location hash upon page load.

 * Also, I don't know anything about your specific usage, but if you'd ever want to integrate the spawn maps, into your app, directly using our data, feel free to get in contact. Alexrmski (talk) 11:49, 16 July 2020 (UTC)


 * To add to this, you can join our Discord (link is in the wiki sidebar) if you would like to discuss it further. The Wayward Wolf (talk) 12:25, 16 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks guys! This is amazing! Integrating the data would be awesome. Building maps has something that's been on my to-do list to look into for a while -- though I'm worried it would be too much to handle. I will reach out once I have some spare time to take it on. :) --Danlev (talk) 06:38, 19 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Well, if you'll need a test implementation, please let me know and I'll make something in my free time. Alexrmski (talk) 13:16, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
