v2.4.1

-Cosmetic-

Lowered Spinosaurus run animation speed to better match its actual movement speed value

Increased Parasaurolophus swim animation speed to better match its actual speed value

-Content-

Several creatures sporting lengthy usage cooldowns for their abilities now display a countdown timer to remove the guesswork from when you'll be able to use it again.

New creature! Elder Dilophosaurus. Has a relatively low chance of spawning in jungles, swamps, and redwoods, and like most other ancient & elder creatures, prefers meat cake as a taming item. When tamed, Elder Dilophosaurus is capable of delivering a buff, but only when normal dilophosaurus are around.

-Balance changes-

The stuns delivered by Paraceratherium, Diplodocus, Ankylosaurus, and Titanosaurus have been downgraded. They no longer dismount riders, and instead of disabling attacks the damage output is set to 0. The inflicted debuff has been renamed to “Dazed.”

Dazed duration for Diplodocus, Brontosaurus, and Paraceratherium lasts 2 seconds.

Sped up growth & taming time of Carnotaurus.

Titanoboa now has the attribute properties of unarmored mounts.

Yutyrannus attack speed increased somewhat when attacking & moving, and gains a significant increase when not moving. Yutyrannus can acquire Dryptosaurus, Utahraptors, and Direwolves as followers in addition to Carnotaurus.

Therizinosaurus bite damage doubled.

Lowered attack speeds of T. rex, Giganotosaurus, and Triceratops.

When roaring, Spinosaurus now gives a unique buff compared to T. rex; damage bonus lowered to +15% (-11.5%), but this is offset by giving +15% damage resistance, and Spinosurus's buff stacks with the buff T. rex gives.

Lowered stamina cost of Triceratops & Pachyrhinosaurus taunt & enrgage from 200 to 50 stamina. (-75%)

Berserk damage bonus removed, but now causes it to be immune to Titanosaurus's stun debuff.

Ankylosaurus stun drag weight lowered to 446 – the largest creatures it can disable are creatures like T. rex. Creatures in the size class of Spinosaurus or larger are immune.

Brontosaurus stomp usage cooldown lowered from 6 to 3 seconds.

Diplodocus trample damage increased from 24x11 to 36x11 (+50%), trample usage cooldown decreased from 18 to 13 seconds (-27.7%)

(-16.6%) Stamina increased from 250 to 375 (+50%), running stamina cost increased from 66.9 to 78.1 (+16.7%) Dodorex is now capable of eating berries & veggies. Dodorex's drag weight set to 781 and is affected by Titanosaur's stun.

Stegosaurus's bleeding debuff changed; bleeding damage lowered from 97 to 65 (-32.9%), but the debuff now causes the opponent to take 50% more damage from all attackers.

Triceratops's Taunt damage debuff increased from -25% to -35% (+40%), attack damage lowered from 65 to 56 (-13.8%)

Parasaurolophus swim speed increased from 1375 to 1500 (+9%)

Wyvern flight speed lowered from 1875 to 1750 (-6.6%), stamina increased from 281 to 312 (+11%), increased stamina cost of all breath attacks by 50%. Poison wyverns should no longer attempt to lead & predict targets when you're riding them.

-Bugs & Issues-

Attempted fix: Dung beetles not crafting items in their inventory. Removed the slaughter option for dung beetles to preserve the dung beetle's original scriptwork.

Update: 31 Dec, 2017 @ 8:37pm

v2.3.1

-Cosmetic-

Increased Brontosaurus size by 5%, scaled animation speed to better match the character's actual movement speed

Increased Sarcosuchus size by 33%

-Balance-

Lowered the affinity totals of all creatures to match intended tame times (things will generally tame much faster. Large creatures like T. rex and Giganotosaurus can be expected to tame out at rates for the most part equivalent to vanilla values, small creatures can be expected to tame out faster.)

Carnivore mate boost scaled back up to vanilla values (+33% damage, -33% incoming damage.) Herbivore mate boost scaled up to +16.5% damage dealt, -49.5% damage taken. Maximum imprinting bonus adjusted to -45% damage taken, +15% damage dealt

Titanoboa is now rideable! Land movement speed increased from 500 to 750 (+50%.) Attack damage lowered from 15 to 10. (-33%) Titanoboa has acquired new attacks & abilities; it can be pet to acquire stealth in the same fashion as Megalania, and now has a non-torpor inflicting, 20 damage melee attack, and can spit venom which reduces the movement speed of struck targets by 50%, disables sprinting, and impairs vision. The venom spit debuff lasts 7.5 seconds and is usable every 5 seconds, but only affects smaller creatures and is resisted by the gas mask. Titanoboa's mass has been dramatically increased to make it more resistant to knockback.

Stunnable drag weight of Ankylosaurus, Paraceratherium, Diplodocus (when stomping), and Brontosaurus increased back to 669.

Dodorex firebreath stamina cost lowered from 102 to 78 (-23%), usage cooldown lowered from 17 to 8 seconds (-52%), projectile speed increased from 2100 to 6300 (+200%), now uses herbivore style mate boost. HP increased from 1875 to 2187 (+16%), weight increased from 937 to 1093 (+16%.) Drag weight increased from 669 to 1339

Titanosaurus stun now affects boss creatures, and anything up to 1338 drag weight, hence affecting Giganotosaurus in its enhanced berserk state, but other Titanosaurs, Rock Elementals, and Dodorex are immune.

Diplodocus's trample affects Giganotosaurus in its berserk state, increased trample cooldown from 9 to 18 seconds.

Giganotosaurus rotaton power increased by 9%. Giganotosaurus's berserk mode causes it to be considered a boss creature and hence becomes immune to a wide variety of debuffs, including stuns and slows that would normally affect it.

Raised Triceratops damage back to 65, up from 56 (+16%)

Purlovia & Polar Purlovia are now virtually immune to any form of knockback. Increased Purlovia HP from 200 to 262 (+31%), weight from 100 to 262 (+162%), increased speed from 1250 to 1500 (+20%), Polar Purlovia HP increased from 250 to 393 (+57%), weight increased from 125 to 393 (+214%)

Doubled Pegomastax's carry weight

Purlovia now has access to a gang boost up to +3, dealing 5% more and taking 5% less damage for every group member up to a maximum modifier of 15%.

Lowered Tusoteuthis base damage from 97 to 33, and maul damage from 291 to 132 to better reflect the intended damage values for Tusoteuthis and not tread on Mosasaurus so heavily.

Dung Beetle now uses herbivore style mate boost

Coelacanth now uses herbivore style mate boost

Kairuku now uses herbivore style mate boost

Megatherium now uses herbivore style mate boost

Dead Triceratops now have the harvesting properties of a large creature, dropping prime meat

Increased Kaprosuchus swim speed from 1500 to 1625 (+8%)

Increased wild speed of several marine creatures to better indicate what their tamed counterpart operates like.

Adjusted the tamed speed values of several marine creatures to more accurately reflect intended relationships

Lowered Parasaurolophus swim speed from 1687.5 to 1375 (-18%)

Lowered Castoroides land speed from 800 to 600 (-25%), lowered swim speed from 2000 to 1200 (-40%)

Lowered Spinosaurus swim speed from 1687.5 to 1250 (-25%)

Lowered Procoptodon knockback from 500000 to 375000 (-25%)

Lowered Mavrodon speed from 1750 to 1500 (-14%)

Lowered Hyaenodon speed from 1625 to 1500 (-7%)

Beelzebufo swim speed lowered to 1500. When at the surface of water, Beelzebufo is capable of jumping! Rotation power increased by 50% on land, increased by 125% in water, increased climbing power from 67 to 80 degrees.

Doubled Sarcosuchus walk speed, land running speed increased from 375 to 500. (+33%) Swim speed lowered from 1687.5 to 1625. (-3%) Sarcosuchus now allows players to stand on its back.

Increased Anglerfish attack speed by 50%

Lowered Cnidaria attack period from 8 seconds to 5 seconds (-37%)

Halved the bleeding damage of most bleed inflicting creatures from 1% per second to 0.5% per second. Argentavis (at 0.75% per second), Giganotosaurus, Megalosaurus, Megalania, Carnotaurus, Allosaurus, and (when successfully pouncing) Thylacoleo retain higher percentage bleed effects.

Carnotaurus rotation power increased by 10%. Horn swipe damage increased back to 67, but movement speed debuff has been removed.

Lowered wyvern flight speed from 2500 to 1875 (-25%), increased stamina from 250 to 281 (+12%)

Lowered Pelagornis stamina from 500 to 421 (-15%), increased cruising speed from 1250 to 1500; fast-flying speed unchanged.

Increased Argentavis rotation power by 9%, wild speed raised back to 1406.25

-Bugs & Issues-

Adjusted Brontosaurus & Giganotosaurus capsule components in an attempt to lower collisions, especially those which cause Brontosaurus to become “air-locked”, and increased the attacking distance of Giganotosaurus by 20%. Overall, Brontosaurus should be much less helpless against Giganotosaurus, and the balance between each other can be more fairly judged.

Lystrosaurus correctly uses herbivore style mate boost

Pegomastax correctly uses herbivore style mate boost

Paraceratherium correctly uses herbivore style mate boost

Update: 27 Dec, 2017 @ 6:21pm

v2.2.1

-Balance changes-

Lowered the conscious torpor recovery of all creatures from -1 to -0.1 (-90%) The reason for this is because it appears to be that the actual recovery rate of torpor was closer to 10 per second rather than the intended 1 per second, though it does seem to vary per creature somewhat, with larger creatures recovering more. This should go a long way towards helping making KO tames more reasonable for smaller creatures.

Unconscious torpor recovery of all creatures lowered by 50%.

The food consumption rate of all unconscious creatures has been lowered from 7.5 per second to 0.75 (-90%) – carnivores can be expected to consume meat once every 67 seconds, and high quality foods can be expected to be eaten once every (roughly) 3.3 minutes.

Passive tames will be ready to consume food once every 32 seconds. Non rideable passive tame feeding interval increased to 16 seconds.

Damage taken after being knocked out now harms taming effectiveness once again.

Increased the torpor gain rate for attacking without stamina from x0.5 to x1.5

Lowered Wyvern stamina from 375 to 250 (-33%.)

Baby Wyvern food drain & HP loss when starving lowered by 90%. This should go a long way towards allowing tamed female wyverns to sustain wyvern babies.

All Wyvern breath attacks are now set to have their damage types to be a “child” of their vanilla counterpart. This should create better mod & item interaction by allowing items or creatures specially made to resist vanilla wyvern breath attacks to also resist Zero to Hero wyverns by extension.

Lightning Wyvern breath attack now inflicts torpor vs pets and players again, at an effectiveness of x0.25 damage dealt. Breath attack now has a 9 second cooldown between uses.

Poison Wyvern breath attack projectile speed lowered from 5000 to 4500 (-10%), now has 6 second cooldown between uses. Can be resisted by gas mask again, wild poison wyverns no longer have a special variant of the breath attack.

Fire Wyvern breath attack has a 14 second cooldown between uses, projectile speed lowered from 6750 to 4500 (-33%)

Unchecked “Blueprint Can Use Attack” for tamed eel's electric shock, they should now always use this ability whenever it is off cooldown. This was added in Sunday's patch, but wasn't documented.

Lowered Ankylosaurus damage reflection from 50% to 25% (-50%)

Increased Kentrosaurus's static damage reflection from 10% to 25%, increased Kentrosaurus's scaling damage reflection from a base of 20% to 25% (+25%)

Doubled Electrophorus's health, weight, tamed swim speed, and maturation time. Increased base torpor from 87 to 262 (+300%), halved egg hatch speed

Lowered Plesiosaur running rotation power by 50%

Doubled tamed Cnidaria swim speed

Lowered Liopleurodon attack speed by 23%

Antivenom removes an additional 120 torpor over 5 seconds when it's used, separate from the longer lasting buff. Requires only 1 stimulant to craft instead of 5. Requires 1 Tranquilizing Toxin to craft rather than 1 Titanoboa venom.

Lowered Triceratops headshot damage reducer from -75% to -25%

Removed headshot damage reducer from Stegosaurus, lowered plate damage reduction to 25%. Total ranged damage reduction now totals at 80% unless taking headshots (in which case it totals to 75%)

Dodorex fire breath attack cooldown increased from 15 to 17 seconds

Pteranodon roll attack cooldown increased from 3 to 5 seconds

-Bugs & Issues-

Terror bird now correctly take x3 damage vs headshots

Alpha creatures have been hand-placed in various spawners to ensure that ascension can be achieved once again in natural play

Pulmonoscorpius displays its correct name.

New item! “Chitin patty.” Made to serve as the actual usable form of chitin as a taming item, craftable out of 50 chitin and has the properties of the various fish meats (including the augmented health return compared to normal meat when eaten by creatures that accept it for taming.)

-Balance changes-

Restructured torpor: Lowered the base HP:Torpor ratio of ALL creatures to be anywhere from x0.5 HP to x1.5 HP (decimals dropped), with smaller creatures having a lower base value. Increased the gain per level from +1% to +5% per level. Altogether this should make traditional KO taming more attractive as the extremely fast and agile creatures such as raptors and sabers have taken an overall reduction to their torpor totals.

Restructured torpor recovery: instead of a flat 0.25% per second recovery rate, the recovery rate is individualized per creature category (anywhere from 1.5% to 0.5%), with small creatures recovering proportionately more than larger ones.

Lowered feeding interval of passive tame mounts from 10 seconds to 7.5

Lowered food consumption rate of KO tames by 25% (creatures being tamed with meat will consume once roughly every 7 seconds up from 5. Berries are consumed once every 4 seconds, up from 3 seconds. High quality foods are consumed in roughly 20 seconds intervals, up from 15.)

Reworked the taming of all creatures by assigning them an individualized base affinity value and gain per levelup for every creature to give a more fine-grain feel to each creature's taming time that better reflects its actual power level – generally, tame times can be expected to take significantly longer compared to what Zero to Hero was previously sporting.

Increased affinity gain of all maximum quality foods from 250 to 400, matching vanilla kibble values.

All herbivores now accept vegetables with the same effectiveness as prime meat (creatures with modified vegetable effectiveness, like Titanosaurus or Achatina, retain their modified effectiveness values.)

Re-introduced taming effectiveness degradation. It is a very low reduction per consumption, but it is there once again, as part of restructuring Zero to Hero to dial back the total conversion elements that would put it at odds with other mod creatures. To maintain the originally introduced level cap of 300 (assuming a perfect tame), an additional domestic level has been added that pets may earn.

Onycs now accept chitin patty with an effectiveness comparable to mutton.

Compsognathus now accept chitin patty with an effectiveness equivalent to (its increased affinity for) prime meat.

------------------------------------------------------

If breeding multipliers are currently disabled, it is HIGHLY recommended to set them up, otherwise babies will be taking *days* to grow and fully imprint, unless that's actually what is desired.

*Every * creature has seen its maturation, and incubation/gestation time be rebalanced and individualized to the creature, to account for the fact that breeding is in reality about boosting the power of the creature, and to better enhance compatibility with other mod creatures and single player settings. Discussion threads containing detailed creature info will be updated to include all info on maturation & incubation/gestation.

Overall, creature reproduction should make MUCH more sense now, both in relation to vanilla and what Zero to Hero was previously setup with. The time it takes to breed is now about the creature's actual power in battle instead of simply its saddle or lack thereof.

The saddles for Brontosaurus, Carbonemys, Megalosaurus, Paracer, Rock Elemental, Titanosaurus, and Triceratops are now “children” of their vanilla saddle counterpart – they should now be counted as a crafting material if another mod requires the creature's saddle to craft.

Mammoth now moves at the correct speed (25% increase)
