LC Megabites

Description
The Megabite mod adds large, ridable trilobites that will spawn on the beaches of your map. They spawn in many beautiful colours and have an aberrant glow at night.
They are like fast racing cars and can swim underwater. These scale steep slopes and are true all-terrain amphibious vehicles.
Weapon handling while riding is enabled.
Kill them for their chitin and their drops, or knock them out and feed them spoiled meat to tame them! No saddle is required to ride them.
On wander, a tamed Megabite produces oil, silica pearls, cementing paste and occasionally black pearls and angler gel in its inventory.
If dung beetles aren't producing oil on your server because of poop stacks, this might be a good alternative for you.

100% clean & stackable.

Server Settings Info:

If you wish to increase or decrease spawns use the dino tags:
Dino Tag: Megabite Example: Increase spawns to 3x more: DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=Megabite,SpawnWeightMultiplier=3.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.0)

To block:
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="AberrantMegabite2_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="")

Spawn Code:
cheat spawndino "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/LCMegaBite/AberrantMegabite2_BP.AberrantMegabite2_BP'" 0 0 0 200

Mod ID:
1291638465

INI Settings:
You do not have to add anything to the gameusersettings.ini file. If you want the change the default settings though, you will have to add the following section.

[LCMegabites] ProdSpeed=300 OilChance=50 CpasteChance=50 SilicaChance=35 BlackPearlChance=2 AnglerGelChance=1

ProdSpeed is the interval in seconds that the Megabite produces resource spawns. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). At that setting, every 300 seconds, the Megabite adds items to its inventory.
Even at what seems like the slow speed of 300 second intervals, in a 24 hour period, this occurs 288 times. Keep that in mind if speeding it up by making the interval smaller.

OilChance, CpasteChance, SilicaChance, BlackPearlChance and AnglerGelChance must be integer numbers between 0 and 100. They are the odds of that item being spawned. The defaults are shown above.
Eg: OilChance=55 means there is a 55% chance of Oil getting spawned.
If you don't want that item to spawn at all use OilChance=0

Made for but not exclusively for Lost Continent PVE servers at http://www.lcpve.com
These mods can be used on any servers!

This mod is awesome. I like the look of my go-cart buddy. But I'm on single-player (not a server). It took a while for one to spawn (that I know of). Is there a way to increase spawns? If using that server setting, which file should I alter?

Mod kinda works...silica, blackpearl and gel even if at 100% don't spawn.

I see the last update was 2018. Can anyone confirm if this mod still works?

@G0emi incorrect. Leaving the last bit blank tells the game not to replace it with anything and instead to not spawn it at all.

You guys realise you need to enter a Dino Name between the last two " so the game knows what to spawn instead of the Megabite? ^^ For a list of sufficent Dino names search the ark wiki because I think just "Raptor" or "Bronto" won't do since you need the names the game process them with.

Great Mod, thank you very much!

The Null string that is posted does not stop the Megabites from spawning...Does anyone have the correct Dino name tag..??

I can't get the null string to work. Does anyone have the correct Dino name..??

Hello! LOVE this mod! Just want to make sure you are still going to keep it updated please? Because it rocks man! Thanks!
Oh and one other question. Can they be bred?

Working on Island just fine as of today, but 0% taming effectiveness for the spoiled meat? Heh...
