Sounds cool so far! I will definitely check it out!
I would suggest to resize some of the creatures, as some seem a bit too small or too big and since you already fixed the Giga, it would be cool to fix other creatures.
I get that they are fictional creatures, but I think it would make the game more enjoyable if everything was more "realistic", you will get what I mean.

Ankylosaurus should be larger and more powerful, I mean these things were able to easily defend themselves against a T. rex
Tyrannosaurus could be a bit smaller, they are way too massive compared to an actual T. rex
Trikes defintely larger, full grown Triceratops reached weights comparable to a T. rex.

I could go on, but I realized that most creatures seem so small because others are too big, e.g. the T. rex, Giga, Bronto...xD

Feel free to add or criticize

That's a good idea and we might change some of the dinos, but the problem is that Ark already screwed it for a few creatures like the Beelzebufo: it wasn't bigger than 50cm and in Ark you can ride it... I noticed, that the Coels and Salmons have a size variety, which is very interesting and promising. I hope that the devs will implement it for other dinos too in the future. If not, we may do that, but it's a bit hard, because the game is not in the final state and a lot of things change from time to time.

various low level creatures can now be tamed just passively -> Dodo, Parasaur, Carbonemys, Ankylo, Castoroides, Doedicurus, Megaloceros, Pachy, Phiomia, Triceratops, Kairuku and Beelzebufo. maybe chang it so if thay notice you thay run or attack as it is its to easy like thay do with the Monkey and Ape

^ I agree with that. Or perhaps add some type of penalty to it.

@Geoffrey We added your idea to our TODO list.

Yeah I guess all small creatures should stay that way. I played around with your mod a hour or so and it's really good.
Can you make animals more realistic both stats and models like wolfs must be smaller and weaker than sabertooth and trike must be much more stronger than rhino at least 2 times .

Maybe adding passive taming system to some smaller carnivores like dilos

And maybe bulls for herbivores %20 bigger in size males that agressive


Good mod i like it keep doing it :) ...

Just an idea not shor if it is possible but at the moment all the dinos are randomly spawned and wonder by themselves which is imershein breaking for me anyway but i was thinking what if there was a alpha/bull version for all the species in the game and they spawned the normal versions around it like the dodorex so you would have something like this
Trike would only spawn around a alpha/bull trike to look like it is a herd
Raptor would do the same as trike because they hunt in packs
T-rex only 1-2 will spawn together they only hunt as partners
and also for the carnivores would it be possible to make them hunt only 2-3 times a day per dino in the pack and make it so they don't just sit in 1 place

Just started using this with a new save and am really loving this so far. Started out looking for something to resize gigantos and the rest was just awesome bonus! Have you considered doing a version for Primitive + in the future? I haven't tried that yet but would like to, but don't want to give up these features/changes now. :(
Please, buff Utahraptor's damage to 32-36

I would like to try this conversion, and I didn't see the following things listed:
Dinos no longer put useless stat points into food/oxygen (or speed unless you unlock speed similar to Zero to hero.) in the wild.

Breedable griffins/wyverns.

Unerfed flyers? (Is this part of the conversion?)

In the past I've found it hard to add extra mods to conversions to account for the absences, but I like your alphas, colors, kibble system! Are these things included, or do they fit your future vision of your lovely rebalancing?
