A few, maybe "Derp" questions?
So I'm looking to maybe replace the Small Dragons mod, as they are just way over powered. Despite my loving my Small Dragon I realize that they are just far too strong to keep around.

There's a few things I'm not 100% sure on with this mod as an option though:
  1. Do the Wyverns lay eggs/nests like Default Wyverns?
  2. If the Default Wyvern Exists on the map already, as natural spawns of the map mod; would there be some sort of imbalance between the same types? I.E: Fire Wyvern Vanilla & Fire Wyvern from this mod.
  3. How do we obtain these Wyvern if they don't lay eggs/nests? Are they tameable/breedable like the Dragons are?
  4. I understand the Dragons are all Tiered among themselves, starting with Whelpling on Rex Kibble.. But what about Manticore taming/obtaining? Nests or KO Tames?
  5. What about taming/obtaining Omegas? How does that work exactly?
    I'm sorry but I found little to no information on the Manticore, Omegas, or Wyverns really.. Though the spread sheet will be helpful, it lacks the "tames with.." information altogether.
  6. I don't suppose normal Wyvern Milk works on this mods Wyverns? Or visa versa?
  7. What kibble types are wanted by babies when raising newborns if any?
  8. Can all breedables be affected by Mutations like the Vanilla Dinos/Creatures?
  9. Does the "MeleeDamageAmount" GUS setting also scale any ranged attack damage as well, or there a secondary setting option for that?
  10. I see Kibble Recipes for all Types except Hellkites in my Engram list? Is this intended and they reuse another Engram Recipe rather than a specific one?
  11. Wyvern Egg Kibble, can that be made only with the Mod's Wyvern Eggs?

I'm sorry if this is a lot of questions, but I really like the potential this has for being an alternative balance to my server.
I suppose in a way I'm trying to see if I can/should replace the Vanilla Wyverns with the ones from the mod or if they can co-exist in the same space. IE: I have them spawning in the same area as the Vanillas.
Also that there is TONS of modification options for our GUS.ini! That's probably my favorite part as this mod can be completely tailored to be balanced around a rather specific gameplay.

Also, I set this mod up to never overwrite any of arks files, that is what the sublevel is for.

You say that Wyverns will spawn nest eggs on SE only, is that because the game has registered areas for eggs in the trench?
If so, what about maps that do the same thing? Since locations are set by those maps and what-not.

And thank you SO much for answer all my silly questions. <3 It is greatly appreciated!

Is there a different "Kibble Tree" for them now? I use Utitlities+ and their spyglass says it takes Wyvern Kibble to tame the Dragon, is this true or is it still Drake Kibble? Or either or?

I meant the imprinting Kibbles while raising babies. Or is it they eat Raw Meats while growing up and will want Milk on Imprinting request?

Yes and no they won't spawn on other maps I did it like that on purpose so scorched earth had something extra since you can't take advantage of the water variations, the Kibble is correct dragons take wyvern Kibble. Babies drink milk till juvenile then will eat meat and will sometimes want to be hand feed milk.

That makes sense, thank you. And since they can breed that's a bonus to non-SE maps too, since it introduces Breed Mechanics to those specific Wyverns.
I thought it was Whelpling tames Drake, Drake tames Dragon, Dragon tames Elder, Elder tames Hellkites.
Or is it Drake for Wyvern and then Dragon?

Just so I have this down. Haha. Although I guess I could spawn them all and use the Utility+ Scope to get the info. ;P
