I'm thinking about trying to configure this mod in a way that players tame certain creatures much slower, potentially taking several hours for some tames like in vanilla ark... but unlike vanilla, I'd like it so players don't have to baby-sit their tame from start to finish

Think about noticing a bronto near your base that you want to tame, so you start tossing it some bait. A little ways into it, you decide to head out and do some gathering/exploring, but when you come back home the bronto would still remember the little hairless monkey and its delicious honey veggie bites.
There would still be the obvious risk of predators coming up and killing your tame in progress if you leave it like this, but I think taming like this would really be an immersive way to gain new companions, particularly when it comes to the behemoths that I don't think would be so quick to take orders from something so small.

Another example would be challenging something like a Rex to combat, besting it and having it remember not to mess with you again, but still allowing for the same taming situation as the bronto - come home, help it finish off its next meal and make gradual progress until it eventually has total trust in you.


Of all the mods I've seen for ark, this is probably the best one in terms of enhancing the game experience for me. Thanks for all you've done, whether you want to implement this or not.
