I am unsure if i can update this as I lost the orginal dev files to a reformat due to a malware issue. I did remake mod. I will add link to new.

i'd love this if it's updated and won't delete my tame gigas if i remove it.

Sadly ark dev kit doesn't save dev kit files for steam in projects which is what I backed up. So had to repost new ID version.
Draco1122  [author] 15 Aug, 2017 @ 3:11am 
Yes, it will be updated. I had been working on other mod project and lost my dev kit a few months back to a hard drive failing. I have redownloaded dev kit and just finish shader compiling. WIll see about an update soon. Luckly, I did have a back up of this mod so should be able to update this version.

Can I somehow change the spawn rate?
Will this get a update??
BOOST15673 5 Mar, 2017 @ 2:17pm 
I'm not sure how to increase the spawn rate either due to lack of dino tag name. Is it Gigant or something like GigantPawn?
The Tinman 17 Dec, 2016 @ 11:29pm 
Does it need to be first in the load order as well? I am running a mod that gives The Island lvl 150 dinos like The Center does and that needs to be first in the load order. Also this is just on SP.
The Tinman 17 Dec, 2016 @ 11:27pm 
Same here. I did the spawn test-which was a success-but I went to all the spots I usually see gigas and there weren't any. This is on The Island by the way. I did destroywilddinos and your command to just destroy the vanilla gigas. Neither helped spawn any of your gigas.
Deamonsatwar 8 Dec, 2016 @ 10:12am 
What would i need to do in my game.ini to incease the spawn for your gigas, idk why but i have destroywilddinos a lot and cant find them at all. I know you nerfd their spawn because of a bug but is there anyway i can increase it?
Devv 17 Nov, 2016 @ 8:18am 
Alright so ill try waiting it out then, Thanks a lot its an awesome mod man
Draco1122  [author] 17 Nov, 2016 @ 8:03am 
I have same issue on the center. I did some research and it seems to be a game bug on the center. Spawns just need fixed. I have spent hours trying to fix it myself seems to balance out over time tho.
Devv 17 Nov, 2016 @ 7:41am 
This Mod ruined the dino spawns on the center map for me, Brontos, paracers, Trikes and Gigantopithecus's are literally spawning EVERYWHERE. I have it first in my load order, killed all wild dinos serveral times but nothing changes. any ideas?
Darthrevan423 14 Nov, 2016 @ 2:01am 
Can you make it so they can go on rafts? I really want to be able to take my newly tamed Giga back to my base on a different island in the center.
BOOST15673 30 Oct, 2016 @ 9:35am 
Thanks, no more problems.
Draco1122  [author] 29 Oct, 2016 @ 11:45am 
That is correct once you destroy them the mod will overwrites them when spawning in.
BOOST15673 29 Oct, 2016 @ 5:40am 
It works now, thanks to the spawn code I could confirm that it works, just one more question though. In order to make no normal gigas ever spawn, and only this mod's one, all I need to do is destroy the wild gigas like the description says? The mod does the rest and overwrites the old ones, correct? Just to make sure I am not missing something again.
Draco1122  [author] 29 Oct, 2016 @ 4:19am 
Sorry about description not sure why it keeps doing that. Are you running on a server? If so it maybe a bad download with steam. I use Ark server manager and you need to check the mod copy setting under setting to prevent bad steam downloads.Let me know I can always recook it and reupload if needed. But, last I killed one it was working on my server. Now I havent killed one since new patch tho. Will test that too when I get a chance.
BOOST15673 29 Oct, 2016 @ 1:50am 
I'm not sure fi I did something wrong, but this mod does not seem to work at all. I've installed it, didn't work, I moved it to first in the load order, didn't work, I made it the only mod active, didn't work, I deleted the mod and resubscribed and it reinstalled, but it still didn't work. Everytime I spawn one in for a test, it fails, it's always the standard unmodded giga, it doesn't help that your description got cut off again, all I see at the bottom is "cheat SpawnDino", so I have no idea what to do now?
Mr. Bitch 18 Oct, 2016 @ 1:28pm 
Thank you for this mod, i was afriad to go on half the island in fear i would run into a giga even with max level dino's.
Draco1122  [author] 29 Jun, 2016 @ 11:04am 
This should override them.
colonel_eviscerator 29 Jun, 2016 @ 6:22am 
Has this been impacted by the Dev's recent giga nerfs, or does it override them?
CAPTMEATSACK 17 Jun, 2016 @ 2:48pm 
Seems like a good idea. I just play on sp on the center. Only had this for a day so far no issues as of yet. Kinda hard to tell you if there's anything wrong yet because well the center is kinda messed up with spawning rates to begin with in my opinion. Alot different then the island for sure. I have not seen any giganotosaurus since putting this mod on this morning but honestly I'm not complaining at the moment lol. Besides that I tend to notice the gigas seem to be spawning weird on the center anyway. Like most of the time I'm on the center jungle island and gigas are everywhere there but fly away and come back they disappear anyway and pop up somewhere else. I don't know where I'm going but the map seems buggy to begin with so don't be to hard on yourself. Anyway I'll post if I see anything really weird
Draco1122  [author] 16 Jun, 2016 @ 5:13am 
Spawn should be close to right now let me know.
Draco1122  [author] 15 Jun, 2016 @ 8:22pm 
Just wanted to check have trouble up dating my dev kit. Hopefully I can get the dev kit updated tonight. @ZatroGamer thx for spell checking me not my best area and I do have word installed just notepad N++ lol.
ZatroGamer 15 Jun, 2016 @ 1:16pm 
Btw you put "exsistant" instead of existent in your last sentence along with "trail and error" which is kinda funny but it should be trial and error.
Draco1122  [author] 13 Jun, 2016 @ 8:45pm 
Fixed description. Hope to get to increasing spawn rate tomorrow.
Draco1122  [author] 13 Jun, 2016 @ 8:44pm 
It was in description it got cut off will fix.
Viktor Talon 13 Jun, 2016 @ 5:54pm 
Could you try increasing the spawn chance? Also, what is the entity ID for the nerfed Giga?
Viktor Talon 12 Jun, 2016 @ 8:35pm 
That might revert it back to the "spawning like cockroaches" issue again, as I do see a lot of random herbivores where Gigas should probably be spawning instead. (Burnt Island for example)

You could try increasing it though.
Draco1122  [author] 12 Jun, 2016 @ 7:06pm 
I do have the spawn set low I can increase it.
Draco1122  [author] 12 Jun, 2016 @ 7:04pm 
No I use the center.
Viktor Talon 12 Jun, 2016 @ 10:26am 
I enabled this mod but now Gigas don't spawn at all. Is it incompatible with The Center?
Draco1122  [author] 11 Jun, 2016 @ 1:53pm 
yes he does.
Viktor Talon 11 Jun, 2016 @ 11:30am 
Does the nerfed Giga have the same amount of torpor as the vanilla Giga?
Draco1122  [author] 10 Jun, 2016 @ 12:25am 
I edited the tamed values for health and damage to not change. Let me know if it worked I didn't test it yet.
Draco1122  [author] 9 Jun, 2016 @ 1:40pm 
k will see what I can do.
Bianca Roughfin 9 Jun, 2016 @ 10:12am 
@Draco1122 Remove the taming penalties or else taming it will make Paper dinos. Giga ger -80% Health when tamed and a massive damage reduction.
colonel_eviscerator 8 Jun, 2016 @ 2:49pm 
The only real concern I have is whether nerfed giga, after being tamed, can take on a wild giga of equal level or not.
Draco1122  [author] 8 Jun, 2016 @ 8:23am 
I didnt edit the taming stat's not sure will need to do testing on that. He is still hard to tame.
colonel_eviscerator 8 Jun, 2016 @ 3:58am 
How does the nerf impact taming stats?
Humpenstilzchen 5 Jun, 2016 @ 1:25am 
@ Bianca- Did you already use the mod or was that vanilla?
The thing is, I will try out this mod on my server the very moment when I know that the tamed ones don´t get the nerf anymore.
Otherwise it would be pointless to me
Bianca Roughfin 4 Jun, 2016 @ 7:14pm 
I was comparing an Untamed and Tamed Giganto and was shocked. I have been tracking a lvl 66 Giganto for the past few days and preparing materials to knock it out and tame but got very frustrated when i saw that a wild lvl 1 Giganto would be able to wreck my tamed lvl 66 one.

Thanks! Was tired of this overpowered freak!
