Prehistoric Beasts

Description
MOD ID 2003934830

Dinosaurs from A to Z! Land, air, river, sea, I have them all! Each dinosaur uses a unique, exciting model! Big and small, fluffy or scaly, Prehistoric Beasts is the mod for someone who loves dinosaurs.

I try my best to create interesting dinosaurs that fit where I think Ark is lacking. From adding more dinosaurs that allow rider mounted weaponry to more unique taming methods, each of my dinosaurs are special. So join along in my journey to add a few more beasts into this wild game!

And you accepted the rules? How are you using discord? PC, console, phone? I want to see if its the bot thats broken
Aphrodi 2 Jul @ 3:15pm 
I'm on your discord channel, but the only channels that appear for me are #welcome and rules, and there's nothing on those channels :/
Crysta  [author] 25 Jun @ 4:05pm 
Yes, this is known. I talk about it in the discord (linked here and on all the mod pages) but that is because the ASA dev kit has not updated with the spawns. I can't do anything about it until it updates

Hi, sorry to come here but I can't comment in the ASA mod. In Ragnarok, the mod's creatures are only spawning in the desert. They don't spawn in other areas of the map. Do you know if it's a bug in the map or the mod? Certain creatures, like the Cryodrakon, for example, don't spawn at all since they only appear in the snow. And that's happening to most of the mods, all of the creatures are only spawning in the desert biome, if there´s no natural spawn from the creature in the desert, they don´t spawn at all.

Purussaurus is in the ASA version of the mod.

Neimongo has feathers in the ASA version
Venasai 18 Apr @ 10:15am 
have neimongosaurus textures been updated to have feathers/fur yet?
Excuse me, does this mod have Purussaurus?
Crysta  [author] 10 Mar @ 3:25am 
Do you have hibernation disabled?

I am on a single-player server, and I am encountering this issue on the map The Island.
Crysta  [author] 2 Mar @ 10:52am 
Are you on single player or a server?
If you are single player, disabling hibernation does fix a lot of spawn issues.
Otherwise, you can use ini to tweak spawns. Which map is the issue?
