Hello guys. First I want to thank you all for supporting JPE which was in fact my first real mod.
Over the years of developing it I have learned many new things and met some cool people along the way. But next patch will be the final one for JPE for quite a long time

However I have now gotten burned out from JPE. Jpe was just such an ambititious project for me that I didnt expect it to get this far so thank you.

I would like to develop it further but there are many bugs and issues I have with JPE that would take a very long time to fix and sort through.

It would actually be much simpler to simply make a completely new version of the mod. This way I can also go back and improve upon my older mod additions
that lack all the severely notable skills that my newer additions have. This new version of the mod will also be very compact and only feature dinosaurs most likely and hybrids.


It will be called Jurassic World Expansion.

I plan to feature around 30 or so dinos from JPE, a good majority of the hybrids, the weapons, merc armor, the armored dinos will be added aswell probably as mini-bosses.
The main goal of the mod is to focus on PVE instead of trying to cater to both PVP and PVE.
Notable changes will include:

Many large carnivores will be able to damage stone and metal in JWE
All carnivores will inflict a small bleed debuff similar to deinonychus in the base game
Some Large Carnivores will go out and attack player bases
JWE creatures will spawn nests in the wild
JWE herbivores will attack players that get too close to them
JWE creatures will feature new behavioral changes similar to my new Ark Transcendence mod
Hybrids will be hatched from eggs and need to be raised
Wild Dino Hunger System so carnivores don't always hunt


**
2 difficulties will be made that can be adjusted via game.ini:

Default Ark = vanilla stat JWE creatures which will be equal to base game ark dinos other then the fact they feature new abilities that will make them minorly more desirable
Jurassic Park Difficulty = x2.5 JWE wild creature damage, JWE wild creatures can not be torpor tamed(will need to find eggs), some JWE dinos will become deadlier via various abilities or behavior changes

*


Events:

The bosses from JPE will likely not appear in JWE but instead be replaced by mini bosses

These will be the armored creatures from the previous mod but will be adjusted accordingly

They will be renamed as failed "Ingen Experiments Spinosaurus", Gigantosaurus, ect.. and appear randomly as a world event somewhere on the map.
The only way to obtain an ingen experimental dinosaur will be to create an egg by obtaining Experimental Dna which will be dropped by killed Experimental Dinos.
Experimental Dinos will also be weaker then their wild event counterparts to keep the events somewhat challenging.
Regarding new content for JPE:

I have changed my mind and will still update JPE just not that often

*

JWE will be 100% stackable with ANY mod including JPE if someone is a weirdo and wants to use both.

Also I am now renaming the discord to Jurassic World Expansion discord :).

And again thank you for supporting me and my first Ark mod for so long.

Along with JWE i am actively working on my new mod Ark Transcendence which can be found here if you are interested: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1785800853
