its not reaism. its autism.

dose it work on Valguero

Oh that's fine, thanks for letting me know! I didn't realize that it's now like 5 years old.

The mod is very old and probably doesn't work as intended anymore. Sorry. I should have gotten to editing the description to mention this long ago. Same for my other similar mod.

none are spawning for me at all. I even wiped all wild dinos and still no spawn 40 minutes later

This Update Change would be nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pMxeuuijTs

That said if you or anyone else wants to try this I would like to point out it is years old. Please back up your saves or start a new game. I don't know how well it has aged.

The stats of these Gigas are relative to what the stats of Gigas were a number of years ago. I don't know how Gigas have changed in the intervening years. However these Gigas were very much worth the tame.

As far as I remember Rexes were never touched in this. It gave Gigas level based scaling similar to Rexes instead of the much less significant scaling they had in vanilla. The bronto and rex in the image are just for scale.

so does this still make it a larger/stronger version of the rex? or no? i just want gigas to actually be worth the insane amount of pains in my ass i had to go through to tame these useless things -_-

doesnt seem to work with new map

Not saying this is a bad mod but I was looking for something that kept the stats of the wild giga not something that dropped the stats of the wild giga. Maybe I should have read the description a little closer.

Hey, found this mod's gigas do not drop giga hearts. Any idea why? I have defaulted the special drops from all the dinos and the rest drop normally. Any help would be appreciated!

@jokobo11689 lot of attempts, usually TC versions. Search for Realism here in the workshop, you'll get a whole bunch.

i think this is a great idea, but it would be cool to make a mod where all the dinos where rescaled to what they where in reality. Expeshaly the sharks. they just feel like the great whites you see on TV, not a mega you see in diagrams.

Sure. I'm not sure how well this works anymore though.

Can you just post the Mod ID in the description? I am subbed to the mod, but don't run Steam on my server computer, so it makes it a real pain to find that out.

No problem. Glad you got it worked out

Sorry for posting two comments in a row, but it would appear that better dinos simply refuses to be the first mod in load order. Thank you for the help in this.

Thank you again for your help, I meant to update this sooner.
After reinstalling, I was able to run the island without any mods, so I figured it was done and waited for the rest of my mods to install. Once everything was in, and I tried to boot up my ragnarok world, the game crashed, which led to my hypothesis that it was what was now the first mod in my load order, better dinos, that was causing the crashes, which is odd considering that it was running fine when your mod was 1st in my load order.
Thank you again for your help.

Don't apologise. It's a lot of work to have to go through. I have no clue what could have caused that. I'm sorry that happened. If the game wasn't working on a fresh save without the mod though it seems like it may have just been one of those ARK moments.

With that said I know that, at least in the past, ARK didn't delete mods when you unsubbed from them. If you wanted to truly be rid of any of the mods you had to go to your ark workshop and delete the folder with the corresponding mod id. This might still be true.

thank you for the response.
It wa singleplayer, and I tried removing it from the load order, however when I tried booting up the world, the game crashed. Then I tried running the island to see if it was something on the map. Game crashed. I tried unsubscribing to no avail. As of now I'm trying to reinstall the game with a backup of the world.

I apologise if it would help to see the crash log, I forgot to create a backup of that when preparing to uninstall the game

Hmm. How were you going about uninstalling it? I would make sure I disable the mod on the server before removing it from the hard drive. That's the only real thing I could think of that might cause that off of the top of my head.

I was using this on ragnarok and was enjoying it, but I did try to uninstall it. Emphasis on the try. It would seem that for some reason, the game crashes when I do try to remove it. Is this because I have a mod giga in the obelisk? should I do a destroywilddinos first?

I can now confirm on v274.0 that this mod does function as intended. The server I'm on (ragnorok btw, in case anyone was wondering if that map was supported) is naturally spawning in the gigas from this mod. They do not, however, drop giga hearts.

I can only imagine it would not drop a heart. It's good to know it still partially works.

For anyone inquiring. On 274.0 right now, and the mod itself still functions (you can manually spawn them in just fine), but I have yet to see a wild giga spawn so I cannot confirm. I do have a question for the author though, @Slowtapus. If you kill a giga from your mod, will it drop the giga heart? I'd imagine that's something that would need updating in order to function; I was wondering what you might know about that.

You're correct in that I don't support the mod anymore. I can't say if it works or doesn't as I've only left this up as legacy support in case someone still uses it.

hello, was curious if this mod still works? it looks like it's been dropped by the author but if it still works in game i'd like to try it.

How can ı spawn it

rthoneybadger learn dinosaurs then come and its not bronta its bronto

That is not the size of a giga it is about as big as a bronta but maybe 2-5 feet smaller

After a bit of digging, seems it was a bug/mistake(?) at one point with vanilla gigas. At least that's what turned up for me.

If they used to do that by default then it was. I wasn't seeking to add any new function to the Giga back when I made this. As far as I know this wood gathering thing is new.

Just curious if the wood gathering is intended?

I think that the giga is still huge, A spino was 4000 pounds hevier.

I think u should change his oxygen multiplier too, dont change the size and make it for your both mods so them cant hasvest thatch and wood from trees

Qual é o ID do Mod?

I just added this Mod to my servers. I hope you change your mind and come back to this mod later

Last time I played I didn't have a problem with that. At least no more than anything vanilla. There is no simple way to disable the size change and keep everything else.

With that said I think I'd like to announce that I'm discontinuing this mod. It still functions as far as I know but I won't be updating it.

Is there anyway to disable the size changing effect, it makes the hitboxes buggy as hell

The spawn codes in the pinned discussions thread should work still.

is there a spawn command in order to spawn one? because if i use the normal command it spawns a vanilla one.

I've not had time to play ARK in a long while so I couldn't tell you. Sorry. Also torpor is reduced from vanilla. If I ever get time to playtest I may reduce it further.

Do metal spikes stop these modded gigas? I've heard vanilla gigas can walk right on top of metal spikes, using them like stairs to climb your base walls.

could you possibly lower down the torpor fall rate a little bit? the lower ones are dropping so fast you can't even move half a minute away from it ;)

The update came with a rebalance to gnash. 5% over 5 seconds to 5% over 15 seconds.

k tested it again, now they take damage ^^

Sorry about the mod being set to hidden for a bit. Shouldn't have affected anyone's subscription to it

Should be fixed. It is in the test branch I was testing.

i tried the mod again and they're still invincible.
