ARK: Survival Evolved

ARK NPC People
Maybe This is Harder Than I Think But...
Some of these might be impossible, as I know duck all about modding, but here are some things I'd love to see from a NPC mod:


- you could change the hair/eye color of the NPC's. I saw another mod that did this, one of the nanny mods, so that is at least doable, unless something intrinsic has changed.

- Is it possible to have full armor/weapon spots for the NPC's so that they can look like real players? (I would be willing to pay for this as a commission, as it sounds quite tough.) Instead of having their own collection of stock armors that fit the usual 2 creature slots, I would love to see them in some custom armors I have,

-To make both sides happy (I think I saw one person saying they liked that they have their own names whereas I'd like to change their names to fit my rp) they come with their own names that can be changed when brought into your service.

- Finally, the most difficult part, I'd guess, is that they could be ordered to ride a dino/creature, with their movements mirroring yours and the tame they're riding acting as if set on Neutral, so it attacks when attacked.

Note: I don't expect them to use guns or anything, mostly swords and other melee weapons, A bow would be cool, but likely too much to ask, unless you programmed them with some kind of aimbot and handicapped the aim somehow...

yes that are nice things to add but the mostly important thing for me is customize them, their hair and bodies, and also the name. Another thing: it's a bit strange when they attack or die because you can see they are like wolves with skin. I know this things perhaps are very difficult to change but I just say.

lol. Yeah, and then cannibalism happens and it just gets weird. I'd make all human meat rotten -- Hey, that's getting off easy; prion diseases can come from cannibalism, and there's no disease, save for maybe Fibrodisplaysia Ossificans Progressiva,,, that sounds hellish, worse than something like FFI, where you just awake yourself into insanity, dementia, a vegetative state, and to death over years of involuntary awakeness, total insomnia or kuru, which is that plus Parkinson's, and is most commonly associated with cannibalism. The most well known prion disease would be Mad Cow, by far, and that didn't even need cannibalism. FFI, standing for Fatal *Familial* Insomnia is weird because it's a prion disease that is genetic, but if you ate the brain of someone with it, it stands to logic you yourself would become infected, and FOP is just a mean little joker that some poor people are born with, genetic mutation, not prion.

... The "I was almost a doctor" complex is strong with this one. :/

Anyhow, yeah, I'm pretty crazy about customization too. I also think it'd be cool if there could be some way to rule them by conquest, just kill maybe the highest level of a group and the rest submit and become friendly or something.

See, I hate actually playing with humans, but want the feel of having my own little kingdom, plus I'm big into the Targaryen RP thing. I mean those wyverns are perfect, especially with the Ancient Wyvern mod where the fire looks like real fire and not Bowser fireball sprites, lol.

I'm a from-home business owner, and once lumber is back down, may end up hiring a couple of employees for a venture to complement my initial venture, and once I get a proper lab set up, I can even use my knowledge of diet and techniques I learned for preserving meat as a kid to make something even bigger, something that may need a factory if it takes off enough -- I know this sounds super fancy, but I'm actually just talking about breeding 4k each imported gigantakitties, making appropriate cat trees not just to fit them, but with some padding for their joints on the beds, and high protein, raw diet based kibble just for their high protein needs. I'm just a cat breeder that thinks about what else I can profit from for this breed... and my goal with all of this is half to still make money for my household despite having a crippling genetic disease, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which was why I had to quit school, and not leave my husband holding the bag here, and half to help the highest kill shelter areas of the country so more pets without pedigrees can live long enough to find no-kills and/or homes

My reason for saying all of that is that I deal with people a lot. Sometimes I get ahold of some really nasty ones. Would it surprise you that there are a lot of catty people in the world of super expensive cats (Even my vet techs will tell you that their trainablity and loyal natures, along with happening to be beautiful, makes up for it. I breed Russo-European Maine ♥♥♥♥♥.) I play video games to unwind, to escape real humans. So many games being online-only these days is like that horror movie trope where two people hide from the monster in the closet and one of them says "You don't have to hold my hand...." and the other one, all spooked out looking, says "...I'm not holding your hand." and the friggin' monster is in the friggin' closet. Just let me rule my closet like a despot in peace ffs.

Okay, yeah, Gabe, I get why that word is starred out but it's legit the name of the cat breed, what would you have me do? D:
