gwSenpaiAU 10 Jun, 2023 @ 6:37pm 
whats the latest and greatest bosskiller?
SuperGustadolph 7 Jun, 2023 @ 5:13pm 
yeah i knock a dino out and i put the meat in there and trans with a 200% tame speed and they just sit there.
Bosskiller  [author] 7 Jun, 2023 @ 3:47pm 
The mod does enable passive taming for a lot of dinos but does not disable existing taming methods for anything
SuperGustadolph 7 Jun, 2023 @ 2:40am 
would this mod change how taming certain dinos is done? like i can walk up to most things and push E to give them meat or berries. And KOing dino will not tame. Is this something this mod does? The other mods I have are QoL mods. And not sure at all which one would do.

how to get apex kibble
Bosskiller  [author] 4 May, 2023 @ 5:35am 
No, you can construct a spawn command from the tags in the sheet. Substitute the tag of the dino you want to spawn in a spawn command for a vanilla dino
̶F̶a̶v̶i̶a̶n̶ 4 May, 2023 @ 2:39am 
can you give us the spawn command please
there is nothing in the sheet u gave us
Erys 14 Mar, 2023 @ 6:39pm 
there a center redux map that might be fun to try, but not sure if i want to start again being that i was a good effort thru svartheim map then finding out apex and above and a good amount of ethereal did not spawn, so do your self a favor use creature finder on any new maps and see if apex, elders spawn there as svartalheim on it had like 2 or 3 apexes at most

Thanks Bosskiller, I was going to try Aberration but like you said, many dinos also don't spawn on that map. I appreciate the detailed explanation, all makes sense. Will think it over and choose a map based on your feedback. Good luck with further development :cozytf2mug:
Bosskiller  [author] 14 Mar, 2023 @ 4:17pm 
All of the maps listed (except procedurally generated maps) should have a good experience, but The Center is particularly good with the mod. The Island is also good, and has a map extension that enhances the experience of the mod with more resources around the map and some new spawn zones. Aberration is the only place a good part of the mod's dinos can spawn, so that could also be an option (though it also, obviously, lacks a large part of the mod's dinos in turn).
Bosskiller  [author] 14 Mar, 2023 @ 4:17pm 
Extinction is not supported because I haven't gotten to making the spawn zones on that map work. If you go on that map, it won't crash or anything, but most of the mod's dinos will not spawn, and there won't be variants of extinction dinos or corrupted creatures, which there will be eventually. Genesis maps and other noncanon maps will also be updated eventually. I just haven't gotten around to it because it takes awhile to create updates for DLC support (at least up to my standard of content for those updates). Aberration support was only made recently. Its mostly early maps because I am going in order of release for the major DLCs.
Max 14 Mar, 2023 @ 2:57pm 
If you had top choose one map to run this on for the best experience in terms of spawn compatibility / variation which would you choose?
Max 14 Mar, 2023 @ 1:14pm 
I see the Extinction Map is no listed above as "supported" although most other original and dlc maps are, is this simply an oversight or does the mod not really play well with Extinction?
Max 14 Mar, 2023 @ 12:41pm 
@Eristid99: Look at the Simple Spawners mod to give you good control over spawning extra dinos that might be missing above and beyond what you can do with ini edits. I also use it to fill in empty areas on maps, lots of options, does resources and more as well.
Erys 8 Mar, 2023 @ 8:58pm 
sounds good just had to check.. did some map jumping, Fojrdur, Lost Island and Ragnarock. Rag a bunch of each but not quite a full list, then lost island was next, more megalodons apex than anything else weirdly enuff for both.. i'll take a look at the center map
Bosskiller  [author] 8 Mar, 2023 @ 8:49pm 
The Center lava island is where I had done this. But no, there is no way to increase the spawn percentage, nor would there really be a way to do so, since apexes and elders are added to the base spawn zones and not just replacing any dinosaur of that type spawned (this is so certain areas won't spawn higher tiers, so nothing like apexes on the beach, and so that certain dangerous areas can spawn them at a higher rate, like the upper area of the volcano on center spawning apexes and elders more frequently)
Erys 8 Mar, 2023 @ 5:47pm 
or is there a map this works best on other than the island? i guess i can spin up another map instance and go back and forth..
Erys 8 Mar, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
so no way to increase spawn percentage? i tried dinowipes a few times but still not even 1 of either type, maybe add an ini for the min amount in the world at one time? kinda kill progression if i don;t have any of the next tier to be afraid of or avail to move up to
Bosskiller  [author] 8 Mar, 2023 @ 2:13pm 
It's not a chance to spawn on death, things dying just clears out spawn zones. You could do it yourself, but doing so with ethereals spawning would be difficult without already having elders or apex resources.
Erys 8 Mar, 2023 @ 1:01pm 
ok so its a chance to spawn on death, kk maybe this map does not have too many kill each o ther spawn areas...
Bosskiller  [author] 8 Mar, 2023 @ 12:05pm 
Sit around a dangerous spawn zone. If the stuff you want spawns there, things will kill each other until something spawns. Since elders and apexes are stronger, they will tend to survive the spawn zones which much higher frequency than most other things. Though, apexes will easily kill elders.
Erys 8 Mar, 2023 @ 12:01pm 
any way to get apex \ elder to spawn, i have none on svartelheim map, but plenty minor\elite\etherals..
Professor Viper 2 Mar, 2023 @ 4:55pm 
Didn't have scorched earth selected in the engram search. Found it there. Thank you!
Bosskiller  [author] 2 Mar, 2023 @ 4:29pm 
It has been released. Did you try searching for the engram? It is only available on maps which allow scorched earth engrams.
Professor Viper 2 Mar, 2023 @ 4:07pm 
Not seeing the ethereal wyvern saddle in the engram list. Has it been released yet?
Erys 1 Mar, 2023 @ 11:46am 
oh cool glad it helped to report it, it was an underground area in Svartelheim map, i can try spawing it as a test and see if i can tame it in the wild
Bosskiller  [author] 1 Mar, 2023 @ 11:31am 
Also I've found the crash issue and am releasing a fix now. Apparently elite ankylo saddle engram was requiring itself to be learned rather than requiring the regular saddle.
Bosskiller  [author] 1 Mar, 2023 @ 11:30am 
Which cave? Some caves prevent taming
Erys 1 Mar, 2023 @ 11:22am 
the mantis was just roaming around, but it was in an underground cave area, not sure if that matter but yeah, i see the hit eat to feed deathhorn, but couldn't feed it
Erys 1 Mar, 2023 @ 11:21am 
yeah not sure if its the map or something wonky.. there was a beatle i could not feed as well.. i'll wait till i'm 90 and try to tame an ethereal mantis i saw and report back, hopefully its not a passive tame feeding issue
Bosskiller  [author] 1 Mar, 2023 @ 11:16am 
Recent update to the mod added the elite ankylo engram at level 56, so that may be causing the issue. Not sure how that would arise, though, so I'll have to look into it. Is the lightning elite mantis bugged in some way? Doesn't sound like you described anything unintentional unless it spawned somewhere it shouldn't have.
Erys 1 Mar, 2023 @ 7:09am 
Also a lighting Elite Mantis spawned and could feed it horns to tame... FYI to get passed the level 56 issue, i sued a mod called auto engram to automatically unlock engrams as you level, as got me passed the crash
Erys 28 Feb, 2023 @ 10:10am 
weird, once i reach level 56, it crashes trying to learn new engrams.. if i set auto learn, its fine.. unfortunately it auto unlocks all the apex and tek stuff as well.. any ideas? gonna look to figure out if i can somehow auto learn level 56 only and see if i get passed it...
Bosskiller  [author] 25 Feb, 2023 @ 11:24pm 
New update is out with anky variants, ethereal doedicurus, and apex leedsichthys as well as a big rebalance to dino stats. Next update will probably be theri variants followed by either valguero support, tameable manticores, or a new class of miscellaneous bosses I've been working on.
Sharky08_ 23 Feb, 2023 @ 9:49am 
Aight ty!
Bosskiller  [author] 21 Feb, 2023 @ 7:43am 
I can't really boost his spawn rate since everything spawns at similar rates relative to their base form (apexes spawn at 1/400th the rate of their base form, and tek dinos spawn at 1/3 the rate of whatever tier they are, so tekkros consequentially spawns at a rate of once for every 1200 rexes or once for every 3 apex rexes). If you're on the center, the top of the volcano spawns apexes at twice the rate though and I've seen tekkros there a few times while testing spawns. Otherwise, you should just kill everything at rex spawns repeatedly until he shows up. Both he and regular apex rexes do not spawn in grasslands, though, so if you're looking there he won't show up.
Sharky08_ 21 Feb, 2023 @ 4:37am 
Can you boost tekros spawn rates? I’ve been looking for him for 5 days now
koalak93 20 Feb, 2023 @ 8:52am 
Thanks Bosskiller for this update
Bosskiller  [author] 17 Feb, 2023 @ 3:32pm 
Update is done, adds 25 new dinos not including the new aberrant elites. Still a few more things I plan to do that were pushed back, such as element ethereals, basilisk and megalania variants, and surface reaper queens, those might come in the next updates but more likely I'll work on something else for a bit.
Bosskiller  [author] 15 Feb, 2023 @ 11:19am 
Aberration update is almost done, only need elite, ethereal, and apex megalosaurus and improved loot drops for the update to be finished.
kvremster 12 Feb, 2023 @ 12:58pm 
@Bosskiller, ok thanks! Really enjoying the mod so far!
Bosskiller  [author] 11 Feb, 2023 @ 10:10pm 
The dino list is out of date, but you can spawn in anything with "Summon {tag}_character_bp_c"

Some other suggestions to find apexes would be a creature finder mod, or sitting in a dangerous area and letting dinos kill eachother until an apex spawns (since more powerful stuff tends to stick around. Also a good way to find ethereals, elders, and some other rare spawns).
kvremster 11 Feb, 2023 @ 9:21pm 
Is there a list of spawn codes for this mod? The link above doesn't contain any spawn codes that i can see. I'm playing in single player and apex's down spawn very often.
Bosskiller  [author] 10 Feb, 2023 @ 9:37am 
You craft it in a cooking pot or industrial cooker. You can find the recipe in notes that drop from apexes, but if you don't want to search for it, I'll give it here:

20 apex meat, 5 apex essence, 20 rare mushrooms (and water)
Sharky08_ 10 Feb, 2023 @ 8:58am 
quick question, whats the recipe for apex kibble and where is it made?
gwSenpaiAU 10 Feb, 2023 @ 2:05am 
sounds great, best of luck!
Bosskiller  [author] 8 Feb, 2023 @ 9:20pm 
Next update is going to take awhile because I'm planning on finally doing Aberration support. I've made aberrant versions o f all elite and minor dinos (ethereals, elders and apexes aren't going to have an aberrant variant and will just spawn as their normal versions), added some dinos from other DLCs to fitting locations (bloodstalker, shadowmane, astrocetus, and megalania) and I've made elite versions of all the glow pets. They all have some cool new abilities as well, such as glowtail being able to climb and shinehorn being able to super jump. Still planning a lot more though, will also allow me to do support for Valguero and Crystal Isles stuff shortly after. Planning on adding tiered variants to the map for ravagers, rock drakes, reapers, karkinos, megalosaurus, and possible basilisk and megalania. Also possibly doing an upgrade system to convert ethereals into element ethereals, but I may scrap that since there's a lot of things that need to be ironed out with the idea.
gwSenpaiAU 2 Feb, 2023 @ 4:46pm 
fair enough
