Prehistoric Beasts

Description
MOD ID 2003934830

WITH THE UPDATE THAT ADDS AQUATICA/ THE UPDATE FROM 07/15/2025 ARK HAS BROKEN MODS (MINE INCLUDED). IF YOU WANT TO USE MY MOD YOU HAVE TO REVERT TO THE PRE-AQUATICA BRANCH! PLEASE CHECK DISCORD IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS/ COMMENTS!!

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!

He and I were co modders and friends, and his name was listed. He asked that it was removed. With the Aquatica update, it broke all the mods. The kit has now updated, but then you have to be on the Aquatica version (and I'm sure that has loads of issues too)

The Original modder that got this mod to even work "Firesolved" was never given any credit, so doubt there will be any updates. :gearthumbsdown:

fair, and reasonable. thanks for the reply! :)

as far as I know, its not really something thats anyones fault. they are modded creatures. I also dont know how the transmutator works to have corrected that (and I can't really go back and fix it)
omee 5 Aug @ 5:07pm 
hi! was wondering if it's intentional that the S+ transmutator (from a popular mod) doesnt seem to be able to swap your modded creatures between variants? a server i enjoy has your mod, and several guys from it (dearc, inostrancevia for example) are some of my all time favourites!

Do you have the new Aquatica DLC/ most recent update? As stated above, no mods work if you have those. You need to roll back to the pre-Aquatica update

I am playing Modded ARK for the first time and was playing fine with a few other mods downloaded, (This one is awesome btw), and I restarted the game randomly, but when I loaded back in, the mod was not in the Active Mod list, I logged out to check what had happened and it had removed itself from the Active Mod list. So I relogged to confirm the issue and every time i restart the game, the mod removes itself from the list. So ive been trying now for a few hours different ways to install the mod and different locations to extract it into to see which would work, and none have. Just wanted to see if anyone else had ever had that problem and could give any advice. Thanks.

Now I got it, thanks, I didn't know it worked like that. I don't know how to use discord properly
Crysta  [author] 5 Jul @ 12:15pm 
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 :/
