Hey, it looks that we’ve had a same idea.
Well, I was playing “The Dicaprio Cataclysm”, before it become “The Dicaprio Cataclysm” 😃
For me it was called “Long Dark Cataclysm” (no zeds, only wildlife, 1 city size and la-a-a-arge distances between them, very low item spawn)
Playing a “Walking Dead Cata” for a while with setting almost similar to yours.
I was trying to play a “Mad Max Cataclysm” (like yours, but without ‘weapon pack’. Also used it on experimentals that have a ‘desert’ world type.)

I’m doing Ye Olde right now and might try Jurassic once Churl of Windsor bites it. How would one increase the frequency of dinosaurs in the latter scenario? Does Spawn Rate Scaling Factor apply to wildlife?
