You are funny, I like you.

Is there a MOD ID number to add to servers? Maybe im just blind lol

It seems like I can't feed my Otter with the reworked fish... Can't even cook it. (On the land) Does anyone has the problem or maybe even a solution? :D

What is this "steeper climbing angle" ?

Please add a fish tail pants skin, or an override of the character even further to add a mermaid tail.
This mod seems perfect, but with a tail it will be #1 on my mod list.

Any plans to add mermaid type skins to this mod? For example a pants skin that gives the appearance of a fish tail (Maybe a few different styles of fish even), gloves skins that give you webbed wingers, things like that. Just a think it would be a cool roleplayish addition.

Ok so shift/sprint swim stopped working for me. It worked once. No other mods. Very confused. I've tried restarting ark a few times. Weird.

I take it back, I wrote that before holding shift while swimming. NEVERMIND.

Thank you, this is a fantastic mod and everything I could ask for for an underwater playthrough. Kind of sad swim speed can not be leveled though. Especially for single player.

Would be really nice if you make it so that the Merfolk Race do not replace the human race. so i can play as merfolk race and my friends as human. That would be really awsome

Trivvn, I tryed to find it but I can't and I also I am a bit new to Ark Dev Kit so it will probs take a long time for me to make my mod

Thank you so much!

Hey, sorry for the late response. You'll need to go into the "Gender Definitions" or something like that in the PGD. Go to the Male and Female player pawns, copy them to your mod's folder, then point the PGD references to the copies. You can change whatever you like on the players like that.
Heads up: That mod MUST be first in the mod list or it won't work. Something about modifying the player pawn forces that.

Hey Trivvn, I'm trying to work on a mod and I'm just wondering how you where able to make a different type of human?

That would be cool, but it would also be pretty difficult to manage... I've been working on getting a different mesh for the player to make them look more Merfolk-ish, but it's been put on the backburner while I work on the map, Alluvion, and school stuff since finals are coming up.

Awesome mod, but I was wondering.... Can ya make it that as you progress through levels, you turn more into a mermaid/man and at lvl 100 reach full mer-form?

You should add a shark tooth sword mod for this

great mod btw, thumbs up

im sure this has been asked already, but is there any way you could potentially add webbed hands/feet, or perhaps a finned lower torso as opposed to legs?

lol

But i want naked fish

There are several colour variations... If you use this as an addition after you have already started playing, the colour will match with whatever new colour lines up with your old one. If you make a new character, you can use the slider to change your skin/scale colours from a variety of purples and blues and greens.

There is no tail. I tried to alter the player model, but I couldn't get the model to load in properly with the animations, I'll work on that later down the line, but for now my map, Alluvion, is taking priority over cosmetics.

does it really make you pink? i do not want this to change my charecter.

is there a tail?

It would be interesting to include the need for air and make players have to surface every so often say hour to breathe like many mammal-like merfolk stories would describe it

Alluvion, the underwater map, is now released! It is an early version, very little content in the map beside the base resources needed to play the game up to Coral tier (replaces wood tier)

i like the sound of an underwater map.

Trivvn - If you want help i can buy some models for new NPCs from one of the sites. This way you have exclusive NPCs and it will be awrsome. Let me know and we can try buying one. Friend me as i could help.

If you read the first line in the description, you'll see that I'm working on that map now, nearly ready for an initial release actually!! (though if you want to throw money my way, I wouldn't complain. If this makes money then I could justify spending more time on it...)
And if I recall correctly, WC mentioned the idea of an underwater map, and acknowledged that it was a requested map, but stated they weren't going to make one. I think they have a few maps planned out (and in the works) so they're not going to add underwater to the list

Might be a good thing for an all ocean map! Someone should make one with all water like the movie Water World. I thought WC said they were going to but its a nice idea for TC and they might buy it. Lets round up a team and Kickstart it!

I was thinking about changing it over to "buffs" which would be the skins you mentioned. I couldn't figure out how to get it to work though. I'm not too worried, because like I said in the description, the main purpose is for my underwater map, which doesn't need humans/other races since, well, only those that can breathe underwater would be able to survive underwater.

I'll keep looking for other solutions though, I'd like to edit the character creation screen to get multiple races selectable, but I think that's locked down in the dev kit so we can't touch it :/

Another option would be to make skins what you can wear and change your character you can craft. Just a thought around the Dev Kit's limitations.

Very cool. If you can pull off adding a bunch of new charater types or abilities that would be awesome. I think you said only 2 can be added? If you can add more, maybe have the vanilla 2, then your 2, etc.

are you able to add a mermaid/man tail and/or a transformation animation (hehe, that rhymed)? thank you!

mod id?

i like the idea for this mod its really interesting

also . . . have you ever heard of D&D's Sahuagin? basically shark based merfolk. they look cool and could could be an interesting enemy for your map.

would love to have the option to switch/choose race just like gender so you can have merfolk VS humans. would be great for RP I want to use it but I will wait till the water map is out . . . .

Hey, I'm thinking of suggesting this mod to the admin, are we able to pick between normal human and merfolk? thanks in advance!

No, The stam SEEMS to drop way faster than normal and it very slowly regens in the water.
Another thing I noticed is sure you can eat raw fish but you can't do it in the water.

@ChaoTEC What's going on with stamina? It should refill pretty quickly if you sit still with this mod, is it not working?

And @Cheese SHHHHH!

@AmyRose, I like that idea, hadn't considered making a tail item...
@deadlysnipergoat It does need negatives, and walking slower and dehydrating faster are on the list. The steeper angle is because I was going to be altering the human models to give sort of "clawed" hands/feet which would be able to better dig into the ground and climb (and is somewhat necessary for the structure of the upcoming underwater map). As for "no one's going to pick human over this", you can't. Once this mod is installed, humans are gone. This completely replaces them.
The can't eat other things is interesting... I'll switch up some other items and see what works.

you obviously stole that mod picture from that one avatar episode

Is it just me or does stam drain super quick even just floating in the water?
Surely we would be able to regen stamina in water.
