Tyrant Hunting Made Worthwhile

Description
📜 Tyrant Loot Expansion

I felt that the drops from Tyrants were way too low a reward for their sheer strength and physical size. This mod expands and rebalances Tyrant loot tables, adding unique trophies and scaling drops more closely to the size of these creatures. It will now be much more worthwhile to take one of these down and harvest. In addition juveniles, which previously dropped nothing, now yield small amounts of resources (but no teeth). Descriptions were added where there were none at all before and to my newly added items. I wanted to display them here but I feel like you'd enjoy it more reading them for the first time in-game. I am a bit of a sucker for item descriptions, they're like little nuggets of world building or humor that enriches the game world.

- Spelling correction from Juvanile to Juvenile

The tooth weight is unbalanced in comparison to vanilla teeth items. In vanilla a human teeth item weights a kilogram. That's literally about how much a human brain weighs. I always thought it was unfair for an item that would realistically weigh less than even a pound to weigh a kilogram and I plan to make changes to other items in the future. But that's for another mod for another day.

This mod really is a must-have for its simplicity of edits and addition to immersion. You'll never regret downloading it :)
Thanks for taking the time to check out this mod. If you like it, please show it. Now go forth and obliterate Tyrants for their succulent cheek meats.
Just a side note, don't forget the TameBeasties patch if you have that mod and Waste Tyrants: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/?id=2717589444

Do you know if this mod touches the family spawn groups for them? Only with the original mod being quite broken in that regard, it might interact with the mods out there that fix their spawns?

these mods are far from perfect. and a saddle for a robospider exists in this world, but without a beautiful rider)

@victor1957 Not in this mod but I'm sure that's a possibility since the horse and bull riding mods exist.

Can we ride the animal today or should we wait for Kenshi 2?

Very good. I've had a patch on the backburner for these guys for a while now with some similar logic to item drop changes. Good to see others were driven nutty by the strange drop rate. Also a very cathartic rant from Dagoth Ur.
