These were all ideas I had and will actually be in the ASA version of the mod, for some reason I can't update this anymore as when I do none of the animations work. Everything T-Poses and everyone I ask say they've never seen it before.

Wonderful mod, I really loved it, however, there is something that does not convince me: the fact that male araneo queen exist. I know it was to make it reproducible, but it would have been great with a different idea:

1) that the queen could reproduce with normal male spiders and that it always resulted in a queen or a praetorian spider.

2) that the queen spider egg was craftable, and that the queen's venom and her spikes, as well as a normal spider's egg, were needed to create it.

3) that a normal baby spider can be turned into a queen by means of a royal jelly-like object that releases a wild queen when killed, or that it is given by already tamed queens.

Don't you think that any of those three could be a good idea to make the upbringing of this creature more fun?

Tame them by knocking them out then putting broth of enlightenment in their inventory

regen is just innate ark she just has alot of hp so its a percentage, to fix it can probs make it so she can't harvest corpses but yeah I didn't give her regen thats just ark carnivore regen lmao

well Rodan does like a million damage the Godzilla mod kinda broken :steamhappy: the sad part was when I posted that I was just going to get some rocks so I just brought a Arvis and a doed so she killed us all her regan is super powerful so you need another broken modded dino to fight her
DoomsDahlia  [author] 31 Jan, 2024 @ 7:10pm 
a good idea if you can is to use a flyer like a wyvern or drag her to water, they have terribly low oxygen and will drown fairly quickly they also swim VERY slowly
thesnowfox84 31 Jan, 2024 @ 6:56pm 
yeah may do that a bit op to kill solo and the drop she give is op had to use Rodan to take her down till she stopped spawning in my rock mining spot :Vegeta:
DoomsDahlia  [author] 31 Jan, 2024 @ 5:11pm 
to kill for loot that's really it, feel free to stop it from spawning if you want
thesnowfox84 18 Jan, 2024 @ 6:12am 
Is the Empress good for anything?
DoomsDahlia  [author] 27 Dec, 2023 @ 8:13pm

I managed to salvage with a very annoying method, so the fire has been put out but everything is burned. Progress has been made though, they have their saddles and stuff right now I'm working on AI behavior for them since some can't climb due to their skeleton (can't climb ai they can climb when ridden just fine) so yea look forward to it! Update should be sometime before the end of this month or if not early next month (im moving soon so gotta schedule stuff in.)
Damien Nightmares 7 Jan, 2023 @ 9:21pm 
is update gud or is shit still on fire?
DoomsDahlia  [author] 2 Aug, 2022 @ 6:23pm 
I did mention this in bug reports but I'll mention it again. Due to corruption complications in the dev kit the update is taking longer than I thought v - v but I will try my best to resolve them and get it out soon. Sorry for the delay
thomas.x.kresz 2 Aug, 2022 @ 8:34am 
hello there is a small problem. If you want to walk over trees or other obstacles with the spider, you will often be thrown into the sky. that's a bit annoying.
thomas.x.kresz 25 Jul, 2022 @ 12:34pm 
:steamthumbsup: A level-up-animation for the spider would make it even better.
DoomsDahlia  [author] 24 Jul, 2022 @ 8:12pm 
Yea an update is coming out soon to add new creatures!
thomas.x.kresz 24 Jul, 2022 @ 12:03am 
Hello. the mod is really great! will it continue to be supported and updated?
Nezzy 24 Jun, 2022 @ 4:20am 
Aw. No worries, I'll just have to wait to breed her.
DoomsDahlia  [author] 23 Jun, 2022 @ 1:52pm 
bad news lol araneo queens file corrupted so i can't open anything related to her, it will be a bit before I can get you the info again
Nezzy 23 Jun, 2022 @ 1:31am 
Thank you very much! This'll make breeding and mutations a lot easier
DoomsDahlia  [author] 22 Jun, 2022 @ 10:45am 
Yea I know, I'll put stuff like the taming affinity and growth in and the egg temp range but all the other egg stats are the same as rex
Nezzy 22 Jun, 2022 @ 6:32am 
Thank you! And the stats you posted seem to have some of the stuff I need, but not all of it
DoomsDahlia  [author] 21 Jun, 2022 @ 9:10am 
as for maturation time, and mating times I believe I made them the same as rex because she's in the same tier. Though the temp range is bigger iirc i'll try to get u the number and I'll put it in the same discussion section
DoomsDahlia  [author] 21 Jun, 2022 @ 9:07am 
oh i have some of that in the "stats/controls/spawn locations info" discussion
Nezzy 20 Jun, 2022 @ 11:05pm 
Base, wildLevel, tamedLevel, tamingAdd, and tamingAffinity for each stat, incubation, egg temp range, maturation time, mating cooldown min + max, color regions, and the taming requirement stats. I can link you to the wiki page if you need to know more specifics.
DoomsDahlia  [author] 20 Jun, 2022 @ 8:24am 
What are the values you are talking about @Nezzy
Nezzy 20 Jun, 2022 @ 6:27am 
Loving the mod so far! A few too many empresses showing up, especially on carno island, but otherwise very fun! Trying to get this set up in ASB, need to know a few values and if you have them on hand, that would be much easier than doing a lot of math to get them set up. Ideally this could get set up and added to their mod list so nobody else has to do this work again.

AraneoQ is the name tag
SirKiruha 18 May, 2022 @ 12:38pm 
Hi. th u for ur mod. I love spiders. But can you help me with one question: i try to use DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers option in Game.ini file, so i dont know DinoNameTag for Araneo Queen. Сan you advise me?
DoomsDahlia  [author] 24 Apr, 2022 @ 5:01pm 
I will attach it to the "special attack" option so u can turn it on or off if you want. But they are also getting changed so expect a rework on them in the future along with some NEW araneo creatures c:
Arthropocalypse 24 Apr, 2022 @ 8:14am 
i wonder if you can add "disable elite araneo" option to tamed Queens.
DoomsDahlia  [author] 15 Apr, 2022 @ 3:52pm 
correct, in a future update they will be able to climb any wall (Empress will remain the same)
toadboy2004 15 Apr, 2022 @ 2:46pm 
i have noticed that the Araneo Queen can climb up almost any walls from 89 degrees & lower lol
thomas.x.kresz 1 Apr, 2022 @ 12:37pm 
super cool mod! you should make the broodmother's eyes red, looks much better on dark colors.
DoomsDahlia  [author] 2 Jan, 2022 @ 5:11pm 
hmmm I havent heard of anyone else with the issue so far but keep me posted! It could need a re-cook or something which i plan to do sometime soon
Mar 2 Jan, 2022 @ 2:59pm 
My game crashes when my tamed Queen's summons despawn or die. I'm playing in singleplayer with a handful of other mods loaded. Anyone else experience something similar?
DoomsDahlia  [author] 24 Aug, 2021 @ 12:28pm 
np everyone asks
Doseishy 24 Aug, 2021 @ 12:27pm 
Oh. I feel a bit dumb. sorry for wasting your time.
DoomsDahlia  [author] 24 Aug, 2021 @ 12:25pm 
you have to equip an araneo queen with her saddle then it will show in her inventory
Doseishy 24 Aug, 2021 @ 12:23pm 
Can't craft the items anywhere. Any idea how we can fix this?
Dragon Grimoire 31 Jul, 2021 @ 7:22pm 
@Cheddar Rexes do more DPS than Araneo Queens. You'd need to stack up the poison high and use all abilities to equal and/or surpass DPS.
DoomsDahlia  [author] 31 Jul, 2021 @ 7:11pm 
the webs base damage is 10 tho lol its 10 base damage per hit with a cd of 5 seconds (tho in the future i may make this longer) I don't believe she has a bite anim so I can't give her a bite attack, if she does I can certainly consider it. The reason the spit attack shoots in a cone is cuz the animation itself sweeps her head where the projectiles come out. And its purposefully like that because it can do high damage if you pointblank it (but low damage if only 1 hits) but yea idk where you got 30 damage each hit from
Cheese 31 Jul, 2021 @ 9:27am 
Low damage is a weird claim, their webs do 30 damage each hit which is too strong since they also slow and snare and have like a few seconds cooldown. I would change the web damage to a normal araneo web damage and make their spit attack faster and shoot like the web instead of an arc infront of it.
Also, instead of shooting 1 ball of poison with Q, make it a bite attack instead. That'd be dope.
DoomsDahlia  [author] 26 May, 2021 @ 6:49pm 
hmmm not a bad idea, didn't think about
Floranslinger5484 25 May, 2021 @ 9:42pm 
should add a turret mode, maybe allowing the choice between web and toxin blasts
