Game Development: Crystal Patch

Sometimes i can't find any in hours, sometimes when I pull 1 to my claim I find 2 more on the way, same as in previous worlds.

That's because mammoth are pooled. The pool is localized (you can deplete it in one region but they will spawn in another). And any changes to spawns happen when you kill a mammoth, not when it spawns.
So when spawns are available you can spawn them infinitely. You kill one, and they stop spawning. You will stop finding more mammoth on the way if you kill mammoth as soon as you find them instead of kiting them to your trap.

Is this a fact, or just a rumour? I've heard a lot of unproven info about the world pools . .

more like rumours, their spawn rate isnt that huge to find one very grid u go lol, just bad lucky, if u run around in both new and old world u will notice that sometimes u can walk around for 5h and find nothing and also u can walk this same 5h other day and find 20+ mammoths, its just rng, at least for them, cachalots for example, it can spawn 3 in the whole world and once one is killed, another one spawns 1 or 2h later somewhere, afaik this is the only animal that has actually a spawn pool..
