Wildcard made it so that Space Whales do not render unless they are in the Genesis Lunar Biome. So if you add them to the spawners on other maps, they will spawn, but they will be invisible.
So this mod simply corrects that. If they are spawned, on any map, they will be visible.

gootcha, would they appear on the island or fjordur?

it does not add whales to the game
it simply shows them, if they are there, on maps where they would normally be hidden
like anything outside the lunar biome on genesis, for example
adding whales to maps you can do using ark config

Are you able to tame the whales or are they just there? Like raptorclaus where you can only look at em? Hoping its like the raptorclaus thing.

How don't they show up now though...? I was able to spawn a dolphin on Island without any issue...?

I have an idea. what if you added it so dolphins show up too. I mean, dolphins are a type of whale...

@Kozenomenon I want to ask, how do I compile this mod? Just add OverridePrimalData or I have to set something else? In the Dev Kit is working fine, but after compiling and adding to the game it didn't work.

@Kozenomenon I'll see if I find how to undo this, as I've seen some other guys doing this in a mod called "Phoenix Everywhere".

As for the nest I have an Idea now, but I don't if my computer will be strong enough to render map editor. I want the nests to stay fixed in a single place, so in Map Render mode I put some nests as structures and program then to spawn a creature each nest and then use the Cloneeggsomething on that Guy.

@Izanagi - I would look at the Phoenix char BP to see what is making it hidden on other maps. not sure if its being done the same way as the whales. but whatever is hiding it, you would need to bypass or undo or circumvent that somehow.
No idea on the nests..

Thanks, I was trying to find a way for Astrocetus spawn visible in Ragnarok, now it happens. Only one question, I'm trying to make Phoenix visible too, do you know any way to it? Also I'm trying to figure out the way to spawn nests for R Drake and Magma Guy. I already tried a Cloneeggsomething... function, but don't work.

If you mean the space whale that wc made, it's name is Astrocetus.

name of the whale?

This mod does not bring Whales. It shows you Whales.

Are these whales still vanilla or are they a custom one? And would this mod interfere with the ones on Genesis part 2?

Whales as well as the fish with blue fins.
The bottom of the shell is very clean in appearance.
This is a great picture.
The fish's upper body is made up of a pair of short pink-brown shells that give their color to the fin.
This is a great picture of the shell of an Asian fish.
We have seen the same type of fish before. I mean, we're looking at an Asian species which is actually a very interesting species, but actually this fish, with its blue shells, is called a Japanese-style dolphin.
It's not quite a dolphin, but it's also not really a dolphin. It's very similar to an AIM class dolphin, so it has a small dolphin tail.
But what we see here was a black-winged Japanese-style dolphin. We'll see if this species is an AIM class dolphin.
This is what we saw on this video in which "turtle" appears. It seems as if this is a black-winged Japanese-style dolphin.
