Zwinkie Rebalanced Dinos - DISCONTINUED! NEW VERSION IN THE DESCRIPTION!

IMPORTANT: This version of the mod won't get future updates anymore! When we tried to add the Aberration dinos, we faced a problem, what we couldn't resolve the way we based our mod on. Changing these things would completely break the current state of the mod, it would also mean that players would lose some of their dinos, so we decided to rather create a new one and keep this one untouched. Be warned, that the 2 mods are NOT 100% compatible together! If you are not interested in Aberration and Extincion, you can keep on using this one, however if any changes happen with the dinos in the future, this mod won't get those updates. But if you plan to start over or the play the new extensions, I highly recommend you "Zwinkie Rebalanced Dinos #2", where everything is the same as here, except a few minor changes). If you wish to keep your dinos in the updated version, please head over there and look for the "Upgrading from Zwinkie Rebalanced Dinos #1" thread ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1574523268/1741100729971798877/ ). See you there, hopefully! :) Cheers, Netsike

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Rebalanced Dinos" is the updated mod version of "Ark Rebalanced - Zwinkie Total Conversion" .

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)
Set the difficultyOffset to 0.

WHAT THIS MOD OFFERS:
The biggest change is the nerf of the tamed dinosaurs. From now on it cannot happen, that you just simply kill a T-Rex alone with your Raptor or shred the half dino population with your OP Pteranodon... This mod gives you back the feeling, that you should better run, when you meet the most dangerous creatures of the island! If you choose to play with this mod, you won't have problems with super OP Giganotos in the future, since they got a revamp too. The new kibble system is easier to remember, more logical and rewarding! But for more information, please chech the features and the images in the gallery!

COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER MODS:
"Rebalanced Dinos" is not compatible with other dino mods, what changes the vanilla dinos!

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!
