Hi everyone, I've seen two ways to make the mod work and have the stats match the assigned points.

Before following these steps, you shouldn't level up your newly tamed dinosaur.

1: Once you've tamed one or more dinosaurs at the beginning of the game, log out and back in. When you log back in, check your dinosaurs' inventory or use a spyglass. You'll notice changes in their stats that match the assigned points.

2: The other, better option would be to use cryoprods. You'll see the same results.

After using these two options, you can level them up and you'll no longer have problems breeding them.

And if after that you notice that the damage in your inventory doesn't match the spyglass, no problem. The correct stats are in your inventory, and when you level them up, they'll be the same.

很棒的Mod,解决了野生生物浪费点数在无意义的属性上的问题,用它你再也不会看到无法下水的生物(特指大部分飞行生物)会浪费点数在氧气上,你还可以通过修改GameUserSettings.ini文件来创建属于你想象中的理想点数分配生物。

A very powerful MOD that solves the problem of wasting points on wild dinosaurs,With it, you will never see flying creatures that cannot enter the water again, but spend a lot of points on oxygen,I really recommend it!

what the bind?
Zenthora 8 May, 2024 @ 7:14am 
I tried but redistributed stats does not change actual stats. For example, Rex have 32 health but it still have low health (some Rex with lower health point got more health than higher health point). So it doesnt change anything.

Is this mod still works properly? I want to use since my PC can't handle ASA
LokiBoi 27 Nov, 2023 @ 10:19am 
anyone know if theres something like this for ASA? i know you can turn off the speed levelling but i want to be able to level it still.

This mod just isn't working for me now. Worked before but its not working for me anymore. I tried removing the ini settings, and even used the admin commands, no dice.

Hi,One scary problem was that the mod seemed to reassign points to each dinosaur I had tamed, which caused me to create dinosaurs that had nothing to do with their parents' stats, and I lost a lot of higher-level dinosaurs.

This mod is a major lag source causing the game to freeze for 1-2 seconds every couple seconds making the game unplayable. Make sense since it constantly redistributes stats, and when there's 10000s of dinos, constantly spawning, constantly redistributing stats, that's a major lag source.

Especially if you have -preventhibernation
duncan_greystone 7 Oct, 2021 @ 9:50pm 
Fixed had an upload error. Great addition to m server thank you for your work.
duncan_greystone 4 Oct, 2021 @ 2:05pm 
Also thank you for your response.

Hi, the mod shouldn't need any config options to work properly. If you want to change some of the available settings, you just copy/create a new section anywhere in GameUserSettings.ini.
duncan_greystone 3 Oct, 2021 @ 3:02pm 
DO I need to add anylines to my gameuserini or does this do it automatically and I just use admin commands listed? were would I put the code lines under server?
Al saher-29/7-ツ 25 Apr, 2021 @ 3:39am 
After some testing i found out that restarting the server helps to apply the reaplyed Stats as well as putting them in a Cryo or Soul Trap sometimes as well corrects the situation i had. I will keep on testing to maybe get a even better understanding, maybe it can help.
Al saher-29/7-ツ 20 Apr, 2021 @ 6:26am 
so the Effect does aply not only to normal but also to tamed Creatures / Levels? because then i would try to tame a few of the culprits and see if i can re apply the effect (or make it shown), il be responding with my future expirience but thanks so far!

Although single player should not be experiencing this issue in the first place.
Vas 19 Apr, 2021 @ 10:08pm 
Or likely reconnecting. Since all you have to do is somehow refresh the data. Cryo pods are the easiest, but if you do a ton of dinos, reconnecting may do the trick. (for single player that just means exit and come back)
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 19 Apr, 2021 @ 5:34pm 
It's most definitely an issue with the client not updating all the values after redistribution (from experience). Sadly, I haven't been able to get it to update properly as of yet, though the stats should actually be redistributed (easiest way to see is if stamina, oxygen or food are higher than what the max value shows). The only way I know of to fix this would be using cryopods, maybe uploading and re-downloading dinos.
Al saher-29/7-ツ 19 Apr, 2021 @ 1:16pm 
Some of the Creatures dont seem to get the redistribution of stats even to the point where the Script command does not work, is the problem that i play on a Server? or did i set it up wrong? i just know most times i works cuz i check it with the Dododex stat calculator.

But generally an Awesome Mod i have to say! :steamthumbsup:
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 4 Apr, 2021 @ 5:11am 
Yes, finally updated the description, thank you. lol

You forgot to put the commands somewhere again it seems. xP

ok let me try that thanks
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 26 Mar, 2021 @ 5:53am 
Upon taking a closer look, I'm not sure if it's mentioned anywhere in the mod itself, but it should be: "/Game/Mods/Radioactive/Gasmoth/Sanagi_Character_BP.Sanagi_Character_BP".
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 26 Mar, 2021 @ 5:46am 
I'm pretty sure you have to use the mod's name, rather than ID, for the path. Your only option to find this is either the mod itself showing the path (like a spawn command) or just guessing it.
D2Legend 25 Mar, 2021 @ 8:10pm 
I am having a problem getting it to leave the oxygen stat on a select dino, at first it looked like it left all stats even speed, once i podded baby and unpodded it removed oxy and speed stats. I would like to be able to leave the oxygen stat just for this dino. This is the ini setting I did for it,

PerDinoStatRedistribution=((DinoClassPath=/Game/Mods/1558114752/Gasmoth/Sanagi_Character_BP.Sanagi_Character_BP,IgnoreRedistribution=False,StatWeights=(Health=1.0,Stamina=1.0,Oxygen=1.0,Food=1.0,Weight=1.0,MeleeDamage=1.0)),
Wyvern Princess 20 Mar, 2021 @ 3:17pm 
I notices using 10 and 0.1 pumps everything into the 10 point stats so I guess I'll poke around with 1,2,3 and some 0.9 on lesser stats to find that sweet spot. It's nice to be able to fine tune a bit more.
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 20 Mar, 2021 @ 3:00pm 
That is completely up to you. The numbers can be anything as long as it's a valid (positive or 0) floating point integer.
Wyvern Princess 20 Mar, 2021 @ 2:45pm 
Question: If I want a majority of wild "tameable" dinos to have a higher chance of Melee>Health>Stamina would I have to do in terms of integers? Do I set Those stats higher 2+ or 10+ or do I lover the less wanted stats to like 0.1 or something?
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 19 Mar, 2021 @ 11:25am 
Possibly, I haven't really done much testing with gachas and crafting skill, so there might be some more things I missed with them. But I'm at least hoping it'll get fixed with the next update. :P
Ricky 19 Mar, 2021 @ 11:22am 
No sadly the spyglass mod we use doesnt show crafting skill.
I cant understand how only the global weights are being used completely because the gacha's are getting some points in crafting and our global crafting skill is 0.
And unless i just got lucky with the few gasbags i tamed as i guess 0.8 to 1 weight isnt a huge difference so maybe i just got really lucky with their rolls.
Its not the end of the world as i dont really care that gachas have a low crafting skill that much but im sure someone will complain about it lol
And maybe if you fix the oversight then it will start working anyway
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 19 Mar, 2021 @ 10:54am 
Hmm, do you have any way to check what their levels are wild and then after tame?
I'm also kind of surprised that the gasbags actually work, since I found out there's currently a bug (or more like an oversight on my part) where only the global weights get used, which might explain why the gachas get no points in crafting skill, though in this case it's weirder that the gasbags work properly, so to speak.
Ricky 19 Mar, 2021 @ 10:22am 
I think its doing something odd to gachas as once tamed they all seem to have less than 10 in crafting skill whilst all the other stats are at least double that and often triple.
I added line
PerDinoStatRedistribution=((DinoClassPath=/Game/Extinction/Dinos/GasBag/GasBags_Character_BP.GasBags_Character_BP,IgnoreRedistribution=False,StatWeights=(Health=1.0,Stamina=1.0,Oxygen=1.0,Food=1.0,Weight=1.0,MeleeDamage=1.0)),(DinoClassPath=/Game/Extinction/Dinos/Gacha/Gacha_Character_BP.Gacha_Character_BP,IgnoreRedistribution=False,StatWeights=(Health=1.0,Stamina=1.0,Oxygen=1.0,Food=1.0,Weight=1.0,MeleeDamage=1.0,CraftingSkill=1.0)))

To change gasbags as i had lowered the global weight of Oxygen and that seems to have worked but the gachas just seem odd.
Its like the wild ones have all been reset to 0 in crafting skill and then when you tame them thats when the perDino puts some levels into them so they are only getting the tame levels and no wild levels.
Any ideas?
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 19 Mar, 2021 @ 4:29am 
This is still easily achievable, you just have to set every weight to the same value, which should result in random distribution between those stats. :)
D2Legend 19 Mar, 2021 @ 4:17am 
Not happy with new update, I mean I am sure u did good job and all, but if I am reading this right, u removed the ability to have them randomly redistributed. I liked keeping it random but just removing the oxy and speed. :(
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 19 Mar, 2021 @ 2:43am 
You said it, even just having to launch it is really killing my motivation to work with it, with all the loading times, being prone to crashing, the in-editor play testing not actually representing how it'll work once compiled and uploaded, and the list goes on...
Vas 19 Mar, 2021 @ 2:40am 
Ah, well I'm fine with waiting till its all fleshed out and all. I'm curious how this type of mod looks, I just wish I didn't have to have dev kit to see the inner workings and all. I mod a lot of games and none of them have ever asked me to install a TWO HUNDRED FIFTY GIG modding kit that crashes at the drop of a dime.
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 19 Mar, 2021 @ 2:34am 
Oh right, most of that was stupid little mistakes that I had to hotfix and now I'm just hoping I didn't miss any. :P
Vas 19 Mar, 2021 @ 2:30am 
I was just wondering when the beta version will likely be finished. Like I was wondering why its still in beta. Are you still writing stuff to it or testing it or what? :P
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 19 Mar, 2021 @ 2:25am 
To be completely honest, the main reason why I haven't updated this mod is mostly because of skepticism, and what could potentially break after the update. But I will by pushing the update any time now ~(30min - 1h).
I will just say, I would recommend making backups first, just in case something truly breaks, in which case I'll revert the update and try to see what's causing issues.
Vas 18 Mar, 2021 @ 8:05pm 
Any idea when that might move out of beta?
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 16 Mar, 2021 @ 3:38pm 
Yes, there is going to be both, an option to force redistribute stats, as well as an option to check current dino stats (for any wasted points), in the future.
Currently you could either wait for an update, or try using the "beta" version of the rewrite of this mod. It has been linked in the comments earlier, but I'll also add a link to the description, for anyone interested in any new updates.
However, I'm not sure how the mod will interact with currently affected dinos by this mod, nor do I recommend running both of them at the same time. :P
Vas 16 Mar, 2021 @ 2:58pm 
Well it'd be really helpful to have an item that would force redist those wasted stats, should there be any.

It might also be nice if there was an item to verify the wasted stat points in game at a glance. For testing purposes, an admin only tool that needs no engram.

I think Simple Spawned and Normal Spawned stuff works, but every time I've spawned things through one of two different methods, their stat points have wasted points according to my friend who verifies it all.
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 16 Mar, 2021 @ 5:43am 
The manual redistributor item used to be the original mod before this one was a thing. This one was mostly a try to see whether or not it was possible to make it automatic, or something along those lines.
As to why it's not a combined mod... honestly, this has never even once crossed my mind for some reason. lol
Vas 16 Mar, 2021 @ 4:12am 
In this case, I spawned a wild one because for some reason the wild dino vanished on server reboot, when a friend had put a tracker on it to tame after reboot, while I don't have wild dino wipe active.
Vas 16 Mar, 2021 @ 4:10am 
Curious, why not just have it in one mod? Particularly the item to randomly redist according to the settings of this one so that server admins don't need to install both mods and reboot the server and adjust settings and tweak stuff just for one go only to remove the mod again after they fix a glitch.

So far, every dino I've spawned via command, has come up with wasted stats. The normal wild spawns appear to function properly, same with those spawned by Simple Spawners.
ItsTomButOn*****  [author] 16 Mar, 2021 @ 4:00am 
The current version of the mod should redistribute stats even for command spawned dinos. If in whatever case this does not happen, there is a manual version of this mod which adds two separate items to redistribute stats (random and weighted) here .

Although it will need it's own config options to be set up.
Vas 15 Mar, 2021 @ 6:48pm 
Is it possible to redist stats from dinos spawned with the admin commands? Perhaps you can add an admin spawn item that can be fed to a dino to redistribute its wasted stats?
Vas 12 Mar, 2021 @ 1:36pm 
I'm unsure what caused it, perhaps the server just shut down at the wrong moment or something somehow, or the game update with cryo pods broke it somehow, who knows. This was just the only recently updated mod is all. :P
D2Legend 12 Mar, 2021 @ 1:35pm 
Ty that seems to have fixed things back to the way they was.
