Not sure why ejecting from the saddle in the water places you far forward above the head, and on land or air you generally eject in the saddle seat. Turtle in follow mode can make you eject inside the belly of the turtle as it swims forward to follow you I guess. This also happens in fly mode from time to time, falling into it's neck area. Mounting and dismounting again seems to fix it from time to time unless follow mode is the reason, and then it will repeatedly/always happen. A bit glitched there, But if you manage to fall all the way through, or find a way out of the belly, the parachute is infinite. Bugs are minor and not likely this mod. Ark alone is far from glitch free.

I did run into some sea bottom poisonous lobsters of some kind, and I thought I was stuck on a wall somehow. It wasn't the case, the megachelon was attacking with bubbles and everything paused while it continued to miss with the bubble attack. Trying to attack what was out there myself got me inside some bubbles from time to time and floated to the surface until I figured out I can pop them. Once they were killed I could stop the bubble attack and continue movement. Don't know if the freeze of all controls from the bubble attack being stuck is a glitch or not, but it couldn't hit the small creature and kept trying. Loss of control of the turtle was fixed once I managed to kill them myself and battle mode stopped. Thought it was going to be stuck forever for a bit.

Also note that if you use a spawn command provided for the turtle, it will be wild and will have to also use the DoTame command when it is in your cross hairs running under it as there will be no way to tame it on wrong maps. Industrial cooking doesn't stop underwater, and rain catching tanks don't fill underwater, so you will have to go out of the water and wait for rain to get your tanks filled up, if they are somewhere to be rained on in your build.

One parachute forever is great, I probably use that the most. Haven't tried the multi tools yet, but I am satisfied enough as is, to love this mod! Thanks Gage.

DOES NOT NEED GENESIS!! Now I won't get genesis, this turtle was what I wanted out of genesis anyway. He does not seem to grow foliage when out of water, but it is fine, I may not have waited long enough. Jump in the air from land or sea surface and jump again when airborne to start fly mode. Does not take fall damage and can jump high as is. Almost walks up cliffs but if that is not enough can definitely jump or fly over them. Need to find something in the forest? Plow it down with this monster then have a look. All terrain vehicle base, extend out from the shell, and down to almost the belly, and up from the top of the shell another 5 stories or so. All build mods like castles work on top of it. Draw bridges with a maxed lowered down angle is super helpful getting out without damage, and docking along side structures without need of the impossible exact line up in elevation while still flying.

is there a way to change the lvl to craft the turtle?

When I work out the rest of the issues maybe I will try and make an .ini config to change the in game dino name to Syrup

Somehow Maple had something to do with that turtle........(let's see who gets the reference)

I'll give it a try! :)
