Description
Mod ID: 2953890191

== MOD OVERVIEW ==

This mod adds an array of new Aberrant variants to the Arks!

You can use it alongside Additional Aberrant Dinos- There is no overlap between them (and I will not be adding anything that already has an AAD version)

This mod is compatible with the Extra QoL Items mod's variant converter, so you can turn your vanilla creatures into their EAV Aberrants, and vice versa
This mod also includes a costume, so you can make normal or modded dinos of the correct creature look like the EAV one. All creatures that have buffs in Kraken's Better Dinos should work with the BuffsIncludeSource config in that mod. ExtraAberrantVariants is the mod folder name you need for that config (KBD remaps require support from that mod's end, however you can still use the costume on KBD remaps)
If any dino remapping modders would like inbuilt compatibility, please join my discord and ask- I'm happy to support whatever mods want it!


Creatures this mod adds (more to come, see bottom of description!):
  • Luminescent (Aberrant) Rock Drake (Radiation Immune, uses a custom colourset)
  • Luminescent (Aberrant) Karkinos/Crab (Radiation Immune, uses a custom colourset)
  • Luminescent Reaper (Has No Untameables mod compatibility. Radiation Immune, uses a custom colourset)
  • Aberrant Onyc (Radiation Immune)
  • Aberrant Bloodstalker (Radiation Immune)
  • Aberrant Compy
  • Aberrant Desmodus (Radiation Immune. Can be disabled with the flier prevention config, see configs discussion page)
  • Aberrant Fjordhawk (Radiation Immune)
  • Aberrant Gasbags
  • Aberrant Managarmr (Can be disabled with the flier prevention config, see configs discussion page)
  • Aberrant Maewing (Can be disabled with the flier prevention config, see configs discussion page)
  • Aberrant Icthyornis (CANNOT steal from players, this will become configurable in the future)
  • Aberrant Microraptor (Radiation Immune)
  • Aberrant Rhynio (Radiation Immune. Can be disabled with the flier prevention config, see configs discussion page)
  • Aberrant Thorny Dragon
  • Aberrant Summoner (Has custom summons and a different visual corruption effect)
  • Aberrant Sinomacrops (Radiation Immune. Can be disabled with the flier prevention config, see configs discussion page)
  • Aberrant Vulture
  • Aberrant Basilosaurus
  • Aberrant Dunkleosteus
  • Aberrant Icthyosaurus
  • Aberrant Leech
  • Aberrant Liopleurodon
  • Aberrant Leedsicthys
  • Aberrant Megalodon
  • Aberrant Megachelon
  • Aberrant Mosasaurus
  • Aberrant Plesiosaurus
  • Aberrant Tusoteuthis

Also remaps the engrams for Gasbags and Thorny Dragon saddle to make them learnable on Aberration. On Aberration only, changes the crafting cost of the Thorny Dragon Saddle to use Blue Gems instead of Clay (upon first adding the mod, the server will need to restart, or, existing structures will need to be replaced for the updated costs to be visible in older structures).

You do not need to own Aberration to use this mod, and it will work on all maps. Spawns are only naturally on those that use the same spawners as Aberration, but you can add them to any maps with spawn INI. When I make an eventual Aberration spawn mod, it will be set up for these creatures too

Thanks to aR0y2810 for the mod icon art!

Yep! If you join my discord, https://discord.gg/V5ymA8UGDk you'll find the Commissions channel, and you use the dropdown button to create a new form.
We can definitely do a CI Bonus Spawns mod if that's what you're thinking ;)

But no queens for the surface, as there’s no radiation zones on CI. Gotcha. Next question. Is there a place to discuss possible commissions of creature mods from you?
Eclipse  [author] 23 Jul @ 11:42pm 
They'll natrually spawn in any Aberration area that uses the spawners they're put into. So you'll get all of the Molten Element spawns on Eldritch Isle, for example
Vulcan Lives! 23 Jul @ 8:12pm 
Also, what way besides INI shenanigans would be a good way to get these to spawn on Crystal Isle? Would combining it with Rhynio Everywhere work? Or if i go to the Aberration areas will they just spawn naturally without things like Rhynio Everywhere? Sorry if already mentioned on the description but I wanted clarification.
Eclipse  [author] 22 Jul @ 11:31pm 
Yep, all of my mods will be kept up to date with Aquatica once we have the DevKit :)
Mod can be used with Lost Island Additions but won't add any extra dinos
Vulcan Lives! 22 Jul @ 9:36pm 
Will this mod be updated for the post Aquatica dev kit? I really would like to get my hands on an Abberant Rhynio on CRYSTAL isle
poo muncher 30 Apr @ 11:08am 
is this mod compatible with your other spawn mod lost island additions?
Eclipse  [author] 18 Apr @ 8:05am 
It's very possible, but outside the scope of this mod
Aee 17 Apr @ 8:51am 
Yo bro like the claws of the bloodstalker are always yellow is there a way you can make it change colors
like If i use the command to change the colors on it to also affect that area
Eclipse  [author] 2 Apr @ 6:52pm 
I will continue to update it with any unique new aberrants I make, yes! (Excluding any that AAD covers). Just had commissions to prioritise so I haven't had time to work on Aberrants recently
