hey love the mod, I just was wondering if it would be possible to have the mana ice beam function similar to how it did on release where there was no damage falloff over distance. Just always found it a fun feature back when it extinction was new. Anyway thanks so much for putting up your work for us all to enjoy!

how do you disable the health bar? in the discussion with all the configs, the one for the health isnt there

Is there a way to disable the radial wheel menu feature? Currently it both overrides mods like quick ammo change if the key is held too long, and also causes you to have to navigate thrrough submenus when using dinos such as the Sinomacrops for its scream ability. I'd just as soon not have the option to toggle healthbar extended info, or limit it to a config setting.

Ah nice thx for the answer

@Maazzixx If the dodo's are mating then i guess there is a chance that they could affect eachother, gender shouldn't matter for which ones are set to wandering though, as for the scanner unfortunately i am no longer modding for ase as i am currently working on asa and the size of the devkit for that alone is over 700gb.. it would be hard to support both games at the same time for this reason.

oh and i used the Vulture ability and work almost great. it does find the highest lvl Dino. But i have one problem on my server. I have a mod that limit tamable dinos to max lvl 150, but wild dinos can be up to what i want, its 450 for now. But the vulture find those more then the ones i can tame. Would it be possible to have and .ini to tell it the max lvl dino to find ?

oh you were right, i found it sorry for the trouble. But could i ask how the Dodo scan thing works ? Do i need 2 Dodos to start, male and female on wondering ? and if i add more, do i need more female or male ? I saw only once the glow around the Dodos itself but not on my other dinos. I even have a Dino couple next to them ready to mate, and still no glow. For now i have 5 female and 1 male Dodo.

@Maazzixx this doesn't remap any dino's you have another mod that is doing that as this mod only adds buffs to vanilla creatures and nothing more.

This has changed the Blueprint path of those dinos. Can you give the new list of path plz.

does this mod add snow owls to other maps?

For some reasons on my server the magmasaur still requires lava to breed. And no other options works for them, like iron cost and food drain does nothing. I have no other mods that changes the magmasaur.

Hi, Im admin running a unofficial server in Korea.
Thank you for making very nice mode.
I want to ask a question because there is a problem to apply it to the server.
First, I was modify ConfigINI(Kaiju) but It didnt work.
'KaijuPreventStarving=false' but Titan was full food stat.

and Second, Dodo's doesnt mutated any dino...

Can you teach me what I to do?
It may be hard to understand because I am not good at English, but please take good care of me
Thank you

@magodanie.2022 everything can be disabled if there are any compatibility issues but it mostly should be fine.

does it works well alongside Kraken's Better Dinos?

how to close giga stamina

@danz0l99 That's great to hear, thanks for letting me know it's all working :)

I do plan on doing another big update for this mod but my priority right now is porting stuff over to ASA so i can't say exactly when this will be but if you have any idea's for any reworks you want to see i'm happy to take suggestions.

Perfect !!! Works excellent now and as it should, well done mate.

Have you any plans for any more reworks ? I was intending to use Shad's Critter Reworks but much prefer your configurable options to fine tune it for our cluster. I like you put the admin in control.

I understand ASE is end of life in favour of ASA but many wont be jumping to ASA for the foreseeable future until at least all the maps are available so there's still a lot of life left in ASE if mod developers support it.

@danz0l99 yeah that definitely shouldn't be happening but i think i know what's causing it, sorry about all the issues but i'll have another update up shortly after i confirm it's fixed.

OK had a chance to look at the new update and now we are generating milk and mutagen passively and accumulating, great job. However its doing so every 8 seconds regardless of the

WyvernHarvestInterval

I set the above to 120 (2 mins) but its still generating 1 milk and the amount set in

WyvernHarvestAmountMutagen

Every 8 seconds. Any ideas ?

@danz0l99 oops yeah that's actually my test build that i use before pushing out major changes, the update for this one should be live shortly.

Havent tested the new mod update yet for the recent changes as it has gone up as a new mod, not an update to this one

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3032492297

@danz0oI99 the new update is live and should now give more milk based on how much time has passed, this isn't what I went for originally because this was technically one of the first few mods I made for ase so I mainly just copied how wild wyverns produced milk and never really went back to improve it.

The issue with the config only affected milk, crystal and mutagen were fine and can confirm that they're working fine after running a test on my dedicated server, if it's not working for you still you may have not have your config settings setup correctly.

Ah never thought about trying a female lol Yes that works but doesn't work as expected. Again its just generating 1 mutagen in the time slot and you have to claim it for it to continue producing another even though I have my ini set to

WyvernHarvestAmountMutagen=3

Or is that the issue you've found with the milk config settings ?

Manually claiming isnt an issue if i can set the amount to be claimed. So say setting every 2 hours gives 6 mutagen for instance or 6 milk etc etc.

I was again expecting a passive amount per time set and for t to stack but now i see this wasnt what you was going for, which is fine, as long as i can set the amount per time period that can be manually claimed. Which is what i assume your i.ni settings related to yes ?

Great mod btw and nice to see a developer still supporting ASE and responding quickly. Some of us don't have any intent to move to ASA for a very long time :)

@danz0l99 Make sure you're using females as it won't work on males.

The milk production is also working like that by design, i just never bothered to implement anything to allow it to produce more over time since i didn't really feel a need to, i did find there was an issue with the wyvern milk config settings though so i'll release a quick fix for that and tweak the system that handles how milk is generated.

So testing on our test server before introducing into the cluster and I've already hit a few issues.

Void Wyvern doesn't produce any mutagen passively (checked the settings) and other wyverns only produce 5 milk on first spawn and wont produce more unless that is taken out of inventory. After that, the countdown to produce more milk will start but will never show in the inventory on conclusion and the radial shows to take milk, but only 1 is given. Countdown never starts until that 1 milk is extracted.

Nothing stacks or accumulates passively. Is this by design ?

Mod looks great but the passive stuff was one of the main reasoning for inclusion.

@danz0l99 A dino wipe i believe is needed for the changes to take affect properly but otherwise the mod works fine for tamed creatures without doing anything, it just adds a buff and nothing is remapped, the only thing you could possibly lose from uninstalling this mod is the defense unit.

So this looks interesting. My question is, if introduced to a live server will this change all the tamed and bred ones to the better variants ? I assume a wild dino wipe sorts the wild ones.

add the raptor

@P. For crafting speed you will find that it's always capped to 100 so unless lower values aren't working this is not really a problem.

I've updated the page to have the correct config settings for the magmasaur so thanks for letting me know, i had no idea that it was incorrect though the config should have been generated automatically.

I found out what went wrong:

1) Smelting speed - MagmasaurSmeltingSpeed
My setting value was 40. I think this setting has a cap. The value 10 is working.

2) Metal cost - MagmasaurMetalAmount
The setting MagmasaurMetalAmount is wrong, the right name is MagmasaurMetalAmountPerShot .

[b/MagmasaurMetalAmountPerShot=0[/b] is working fine.

The config page might be outdated, I can't find the setting MagmasaurMetalAmountPerShot in this page:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2936669457/3781371939908479229

@P. Unfortunately i am still not able to reproduce it even on a dedicated server, smelt speed and metal cost changes all appear to be working, have you tried a cryo to see if there's any changes?

@P. I'll look into it, if it's not working for dedicated servers i'll have a fix in the coming days.

MagmasaurMetalAmount=0

Also, "MagmasaurSmeltingSpeed" has no effect. But every other settings are working.

I've tested on a dedicated server.

Is [BetterCreatures] the header for all settings?

@P. What do you have this set to? it works fine for me and i haven't been able to replicate it.

the setting "MagmasaurMetalAmount" isn't working

@8015 I'll look into a fix for this.

@FedeRama Are you sure vanilla doesn't do the same behaviour? sounds like an issue when the creature goes into stasis from being too far away from it.

The Magmasaur does not seem to be smelting metal while I'm away.. I have them set to x5 speed, on a metal spot close to my base but they only smelt when I go there

I'm playing on extinction with your mod and defense units are extremely aggressive. They come from a great distance and kill me on sight, even if I have just spawned in. I have no idea whats going on, but they hunt me as a player specifically and ignore dinos.

@Tormound there are config settings to disable the mod for any creatures that may be conflicted by other mods.

Is this compatible with Kraken's better dinos? Specifically if the two mods have changes for the same creature what happens?

Will there be an ini setting for hiding BC buff icons? the old version was clean but some dinos don't work, awesome mod anyway

@pastalion you need to hold R while you have the vulture mounted on your shoulder for the radial wheel to pop up, this is a basic menu that many vanilla creatures have, all you need to do is click on the scanner option from the vulture settings.

Hi, just a question. How do you use the vulture? Like, where is the Radial wheel? WHAT radial wheel specifically. Is there a button to press? Is there a option in the whistle/emote wheel that I can't find? Is there apparently an option somewhere in the vultures settings? I'm stumped...

Probably ARK bug. I haven't messed with the food consumption settings. Might double check just in case.

@LeoTalon if it's still consuming even after a cryopod then its likely just an ark bug or an issue with your food consumption settings

I'm having an issue where Daeodon healing is still consuming food. I tried resetting buff with a cryopod but it still didn't work.

looked so long for something that either KO tamed a shadowmane or alt, finally this seems like the fix for me

Yup! it seems compatible! although, untill right now, the only creature that doesn't have the "Better Creature" buff its the Maewing, wich is weird, cause even Mod creatures like the Dearc, Neovenator and Anzu from Prehistoric beasts have it, even displaying the health bar down the screen.
STILL, loving it so far! keep the good work mate :D

Man,i really look forward for this mod! (like finally a good use for the vulture)
I still have to check if it's Compatible with Kraken Better Dinos, tho it seems the only dinos that are affected by both mods are the megalosaurus and wyvern, so with probably all the other creatures it should work correctly

Again, i really hope this mod gets better and better! props to you man ^^

Hi I’m interesting in adding this to my dedicated server. I’m fairly new to any mods that require using the game ini as I just instal them through the steam workshop installer on the server host website. I’m looking mainly for the revert to the mana nerfs only. How would I set this up after installing to just effect manas?
