FAQ and Other Important Info
FAQ

  • Does this mod completely replace the Megalodon?
    A: In game file sense, no. This mod simply adds a new creature(s), and overrides the spawn weights of the vanilla Megalodon - meaning any previously tamed Megalodon's will be unaffected. If wanted, you could technically put your own spawn override .ini in your game, and make them all spawn if you wanted!

    It does however override the Megalodon Saddle engram and item info, so the saddle may spawn in loot crates that vanilla saddles spawned before. This method still needs testing on my end, so if you have any issues with compatibility please let me know!

  • Is the Megalodon in Genesis?
    A: As of 4/13/2020 not quiet yet. The Ark Dev Kit has just been updated with Genesis content, so I'll be starting on an X-Variation soon!

  • What are the stat changes with the Meg Supremis and vanilla Megalodon?
    A:The stat changes are based on a Max Status Value, meaning that all Megs start out with this values from level one, and can increase with level.

    Health increased from 600 to 1800.
    Stamina increased from 320 to 450.
    Torpidity increased from 800 to 1000.
    Weight Carry increased from 250 to 350.

    The increase amount per level was not changed.

    Base Damage (Attack 1) increased by 30.

    Note that the Meg Minoris uses the same stats from the vanilla Megalodon, so tame calculators for Megalodon will work on this variant.

  • Why add two variants?
    A: After public testing, it came to attention that players lacked that entry level water dino tame, to get started in the oceans. While still wanting to maintain a formidable new Meg, I also understood this bridge gap, so I created the Megalodon Minoris to give players that starting water dino. If testing proves this to be undesired/not worth the megabytes, it may be removed and put into a separate mod - only time will tell.

  • The Meg Minoris isn't my style/I want the vanilla Megalodon in combination with this mod!
    A:This should be doable! I am in the process of testing .ini settings to give to those interested, so you can alter the spawn rates/creatures as you see fit to your taste. This will take some time, but I will try to get them to you as soon as possible. :)

  • Do you have plans to integrate Tek Saddles?
    A:This is a strong want of mine, but at the moment it unfortunately is not a top priority. The Tek Saddle for the Megalodon is quite complicated to edit symmetrically to Meg Supremis, so unless I find another way, I would have to remodel the Tek from scratch. The Tek Helmet for the Megalodon DOES however fit the model, it is simply the saddle itself. Do you think you can help? Let me know below!

I may have an idea for a .INI setting. Is it possible to make an INI setting for different sizes for Megalodon Supremis? Different sizes as in, if I want it to be bigger or smaller.

Hmmm, I'm actually not sure! I need to find more information on what is actually possible with .INI settings - unfortunately I am not quite fluent with it, and I'm still hunting down information. I would love to have something that is highly customizable, so it can cater to how others would like to see the shark. Considering certain fish in the ocean have growth factors, maybe this is possible?
I'll definitely right this down and try to take a crack at it! If you have any suggestions with such a thing, I am all ears! <3

Fantastic job on the mod <3 I was just wondering what you would have to put into the .ini to have both the original and your mod megs spawn?
