Potential Bug
My tribe just tamed a 1,160 juvenille bronto yesterday and we've been excitedly waiting for it to grow up. However, when I logged on this morning as an adult it's health, melee, and oxygen are DRASTICALLY lower than what it was as an adolescent. I don't know our exact settings for our server, but between adolescent and adult its health dropped from 111,000 to 2,400. And the oxygen and melee both saw gigantic drops in stats. It's now sitting at like 180 oxygen and 147 melee, which isn't even close to what it was last night as an adolescent. I don't know if this is a conflict with the new ARK update or what. Can someone confirm if they're having the same issue? We have a wild baby mammoth that's growing currently. I'll update if it see the same problem as we had with the bronto.

When playing on servers with drastically higher dinosaur levels there is a known bug where a stat with more than 250 points into it will reset to a much lower figurewhen the server next restarts. Same for players, but it will also reset for players if you die and respawn too.

You can read about other players having similar experiences with stats reseting in discussions like this:

The behavior you're describing is related to the high levels of the wild dinosaurs rather than the color mod. *BUT* mods that change the max wild dinosaur level must normally go in first place in the mod load order and the Dino Colors Plus mod must go in first place in the mod load order too. So if you're running both types of mod side-by-side without both in first place then bugs in both mods are significantly more likely.

Cool thanks for the input. I'll let my server admin know.

No problem! I'm sorry your dino stats were nerfed so hard. Personally I don't understand why the devs put this hard limit in for 250 points into a single stat.
