Zwinkie Rebalanced Dinos #2

WHAT THIS MOD OFFERS:
The mod brings a more realistic Ark experience by changing several smaller things on various creatures. Including a full overhaul of base stats, several changes to taming, behavior and color tweaks. Wild and tameable dino level changes. Nerfed Giganotosaurus for a less nerv wrecking experience. Standalone Brachiosaurus, Stygimoloch and Styracosaurus from the ARKaeology-event and many more! Just check out the list down below.

"Zwinkie Rebalanced Dinos #2" is the updated mod version of "Ark Rebalanced - Zwinkie Total Conversion" and "Zwinkie Rebalanced Dinos". If you are coming from the previous version and would like to keep your dinos, please head to the "Upgrading from ZRD #1" thread!


WARNING!!!
Changes of this mod won't apply on already tamed dinos.
For a full reset you should kill all the tamed and wild creatures on the map! (admincheat destroyallenemies)
If an update doesn't apply on already tamed dinos, you can fix it by uploading and then downloading them at an obelisk!


COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER MODS:
"Rebalanced Dinos #2" is NOT compatible with other dino mods, what changes anything about vanilla dinos! ( If you are coming from the previous version and would like to keep your dinos, please head to the "Upgrading from ZRD #1" thread!)


RECOMMENDED SETTINGS:
- the first dino nerf in the server settings is reversed in the mod, so you don't have to set up anything for that
- the flyer nerf is NOT reverted, they still cannot level up on speed!
