My server has no sharks (the big attacking kind) through multiple wipes/maps, do I need to enable them somehow?

"the big attacking kind".... you mean fish/simpleshark.prefab ? how did you check, did you actually do a report to verify? it's a custom map? unless you disabled them, no.

I think simpleshark is the one you can catch fishing, no? Anyway, it's a normal procedural map and I checked by swimming around underground labs and shipwrecks, there are none, my players have been telling me this as well. Is there a command to enable/disable them?

by default it's set to false but you can check with:

simpleshark.disable

simpleshark.disable has been set to False the whole time, so there should be sharks right?

normaly yes...

Merged post

if you have adminradar, use him for see if you've shark or not maybe? or you've solved the issue?

Definitely still no sharks...
