It felt very weird - I wanted to see Deathcaps and Herders and the crystal shard guys, but all there was was a bunch of easy-to-kill rocks. Any advice?

The level 50 Devouring Earth are from the missions in Portal Corps which are indeed only Granite and boulders. To get the other enemies you need to force the mission to spawn in a lower range. Depending on your mission there are a number of ways to force a lower level range spawn. Perahps the one that will work best for you is to create a custom group with one of the lower level DE. Call the custom group Devouring Earth. Now set up a spawn in your mission to "fight a boss" make the boss the DE from your just custrom group DE and making the surrounding spawn normal DE. This will force your mission into the level range where the DEs that you want can spawn. That's the best i can come up wtih.

Also, unlock the enemy group that has more Devoured Earth in it by redeeming your tickets upstairs.
I ran into the same problem when I wanted a map filled with Herders but kept getting Boulders...I eventually gave up on the concept but discovered there was a DE pack in the unlockables that has your Crystal enemies and such.
Craft your inventions in AE!!
Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!
Hm! I didn't realize the DE Monster Pack also changed high-level DE. I'll try that!
If it doesn't work, I may give your method a shot, Draggynn.
Thanks to you both for your ideas.

I wanted to put Devouring Earth in my final mission, rampaging all over the place terrifyingly, but when I tested the arc with my 50-Unyielding, all that appeared were level 51 Granites and level 49 Boulders and nothing else. I tweaked the mission a few times and could occasionally spawn a 51-Greater Devoured, but that was it. It felt very weird - I wanted to see Deathcaps and Herders and the crystal shard guys, but all there was was a bunch of easy-to-kill rocks. Any advice?
Thanks in advance, Z
