@Obelisk you'll have to contact your server host and ask them if you're unsure how, you need access to your gameusersettings.ini and generally every host allows it in one way or another.

how would I edit the ini config if im using a server host to run the server the mod is installed on?

do tamed wyverns lay eggs or just produce milk?

Op! You are correct - it's Classic Flyers. Well I guess we found the culprit then! Which is fine... Milking some ice/crystal wyverns saves me the trouble of having to run out for milk while I am trying to breed for mutations.

@Evelyn do you mean "classic flyers" specifically? i just had a quick look and that mod does actually affect wyverns, although ice and crystal are the only exception.
Shinygati  [author] 11 Sep, 2022 @ 3:54am 
@Evelyn Well i'm not sure then, the screenshot shown was in single player and i don't have any problems on my server either so unless i can reproduce it myself i can't really do much to debug/fix the issue.

Single player. The only mod that comes to mind is the Better Flyers mod, which just allows you to level speed on flyers. Nothing else that would apply to them.

@Evelyn Are you on a server or are any wyverns modded/affected by any other mods? I don't have any problems with producing milk from any of them even fire wyverns as seen here. [i.imgur.com]
Evelyn 10 Sep, 2022 @ 11:57pm 
HAHA! Yes, the ones I am talking about are females. I imagine milk from a male might not be good for babies. ;P
Shinygati  [author] 10 Sep, 2022 @ 11:23pm 
@Evelyn are they female wyverns? this won't work on males if you happen to have any.
Evelyn 10 Sep, 2022 @ 7:36pm 
All of them were all freshly tamed, but it seemingly isn't applying the same way to the fire ones as the ice wyverns are fine. I tried putting them in cryopods, then releasing them. Nothing. Tried it again and put them in the cryofridge for a minute (in case that did anything differently?), and still nothing. Now I've tried uploading them and redownloading them - still nothing. Then tried uploading them and switching maps and redownloading them there... Still nothing. I did make sure the ini config was in the appropriate file as provided in the mod description as well. Trying to rule out any conceivable problem here, but no dice. I'll try later with poison and lightning wyverns when I am able to, but I guess worst case scenario I can just grab a bunch of ice mamas to milk.

@Evelyn You need to cryo your wyverns if they were freshly tamed/hatched, it works on all of the regular wyverns.
Evelyn 10 Sep, 2022 @ 7:26am 
Just went into Valguero and started grabbing up some ice and fire wyverns there. This mod only seems to work on the ice wyverns, but for some reason not the fire ones. Any ideas as to why that might be? I did try putting them in cryopods and re-releasing them as well as in a soul trap, but to no avail.

@harozuken It will affect all wyverns but you may have to cryo or upload after installing the mod.
harozuken 9 Jul, 2022 @ 1:01am 
hey does this mod still work? and if so will it only effect new wyverns or those tamed before download as well?
Shinygati  [author] 5 Jul, 2022 @ 11:17pm 
@Morbie It should be in your installed game directory.
Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini
Morbie 5 Jul, 2022 @ 12:51pm 
just wondering (because i'm new to INI file editing) where can i find the files to change this, thanks!
Shinygati  [author] 21 Oct, 2021 @ 10:14pm 
@chloelp456123 This just allows them to produce milk, they are already breedable by default.
chloelp456123 21 Oct, 2021 @ 8:23pm 
does this allow them to breed also or just produce milk?
Vas 19 Oct, 2021 @ 6:33am 
Alright, so then the idea I was proposing to you makes more sense then. The options you have don't do what I was asking for.

I'll post in a discussion instead of filling the comments here with stuff. :P
Shinygati  [author] 19 Oct, 2021 @ 6:29am 
@Vas I get asked alot of questions so i apologise if i had missed anything, but to answer your question milk is not produced in the wyvern's inventory, only when selecting the option from the radial menu it will be given to the player so spoil timers are fresh.
Vas 19 Oct, 2021 @ 5:39am 
Ah, well I asked earlier about the inventory thing. You didn't answer. xD

Does the mod also make the milk last longer inside the wyvern's inventory?
Shinygati  [author] 18 Oct, 2021 @ 7:11pm 
@Vas I really don't understand what you're trying to do here, using my INI options achieves exactly what you're asking for, you can set a custom amount and even how long before you can harvest them and if I made it so that it just goes into its inventory automatically all this does is not require you to walk up to the wyvern to manually take the milk which makes it less interactive and allows the milk spoil over time.
Vas 18 Oct, 2021 @ 6:22am 
Well it wasn't about making it easy. if you wanted to add the option without affecting current defaults, you could set maxquantity to 1. Then people like me who want wyverns to hold more would be able to hold more. I was thinking of something like setting it to take 3 hours to generate a milk, but allow them to hold 5 milk.

Also, something else to suggest for immersive purposes; Rename "take milk" to "harvest milk", and "producing milk" to "Milk pouch is currently empty." (option to hide timer)

Might be interesting if we could have a random interval too, sort of like "BaseMilkInterval" with "VariableMilkInterval" where base would be 3600, variable would be 600. So anywhere between 3000 and 4200, would produce a milk and the timer would randomly be changed each production.

Sorry, I'm always full of ideas. xD I hope you like some of these suggestions. I like to try to have immersion and randomness to things to keep things interesting.
Shinygati  [author] 18 Oct, 2021 @ 3:34am 
@Vas i didn't want to make it too easy, if you need extra milk you can always bring out more females, plus you can always change the interval to be able to get more quicker.
Vas 18 Oct, 2021 @ 3:04am 
Yes, the quantity per time, but not the amount they can store. :P My thought was that the Wyvern could produce 1 per hour, up to a max of 5. So after 5 hours of waiting, you have 5 milk, but if you don't wait, you only get the amount you waited for.
Shinygati  [author] 17 Oct, 2021 @ 8:40pm 
@Vas I have INI options to change the quantity that they produce.
Vas 17 Oct, 2021 @ 10:25am 
So this produces milk to the radial menu only? Or does it place milk inside their inventory so that it can be stacked with more later?

One idea I was thinking of, was MilkQuantityMax, that way it produces 1 milk every hour but can stack up to a max of 5. If you would consider such.

@Childsplay.pac If you want more nest spawns you could always use the simple spawners mod.
Childsplay.pac 15 Oct, 2021 @ 3:07am 
Have you thought about making a mod that adds more Wyvern egg spawns to all the nesting spots in the World Scar of Scorched Earth?
Shinygati  [author] 9 Oct, 2021 @ 6:55pm 
@Childsplay.pac It affects all vanilla varient wyverns, if it doesn't work you'll need to cryo or upload for it to affect existing dino's.
Childsplay.pac 9 Oct, 2021 @ 5:57pm 
Does this mod change Wyverns that you've tamed before installing the mod?
