Suggestions/Ideas/Thoughts
Just some pleasant Observations/Suggestions: I like the idea of have Scorched Earth anywhere, hell I've gone through several mods to get it, however I'd like to point out some things. Missing Wyvern Spawns and Deathworm spawns (i'd add deathworms to the volcanic Island on the Center and to Carno Island and maybe northern beaches on The Isle), I'd add Wyvern spawns Primarily around high mountain areas and high heat areas since the seem to like that. Also I think Water Jug Bugs should be moved to grasslands and mountains since on most maps both of those are highly lacking in a viable water source early game. I'd move Lymantrias to the Redwood biome and Oil Jug Bugs to any Swampy Biome, everything else seems fine. Although if there was a way around having it "require" (highly suggest?) being in Priority (IE Slot 1) mod slot would probably get even more users there are several mods out there that Modify the hell out of alot of vanilla stuff that require being in Priority position and would prevent more people from being able to enjoy/use this mod. I know Wyverns and their Nest Mechanic can be tricky and is probably the main reason why people avoid them unless moding them to be breedable but a mod suggesting Scorched Earth anywhere with missing dinos fantasyish or otherwise is incomplete. I'll be watching this mod though as I'd like something that'd replace 3 other mods I'm forced to use at the moment.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, will keep in mind all of them!

About the "priority" its only a recommendation, the higher on the list, the better, this is due to some stacks mods making engrams not being learnable, its not a requisite, just a recommendation so you can learn them. (will try to clarify that on the description of the mod somehow)

About the Wyverns, still have no clue how to do the nest mechanics, and since i cant use a map extension if i want an "all in one" mod, this is pretty much the most dificult one for me to figure out, if even possible..

Deathworms will be added on next patch, have to think where.

I will definitively add jug bugs to another biomes, also will add the current dinos to more biomes. but i think they also have a place on the beaches, since beaches are for newbies, they will appreciate some free oil.

And lastly, i need to work on the weights for them to spawn, also dont want them to collapse the maps, i dont want them to become "rare" or either "common" you get the point.. Something in the middle would be nice, but ark and its spawns.. are a bit broken..

Im using it in my own public server so i can see how it reacts in a live enviroment and if people encounter any bug with the dino spawns or anything else, i will be able to fix them right away (i hope xD)

To be honest I thought making it a Map extension actually made it more compatible, the problem is you can't know where each of the biomes are on every map, so I can see where using the default spawner name would be more advantageuos. The only mob spawn I know that works truely anywhere doesn't actually use spawners, it uses one object placed anywhere in the world (or multiple no extra affect) and it acts as the actual spawner, drawback to that is dinos can be anywhere that way, unless there is a flag somewhere in the dinos themselves that you can somehow detect the biome. I have the Devkit and I've looked at it but at this time it's been kinda daunting to get into this type of modding (problem is its new to me, i'm used to the oldschool code and object to get it working type of modding).

I know.. Im new on this too, i have some "knowledge" using unreal, im a 3D artist i dont know pretty much anything about code. started this one cause all the mods i put on my server had bugs or are multiple mods, so just decided to make a mod for this, and it will be usefuld to learn how all this work, since i want to start creating some strcuctures and decoration mods.

At the beggining i didnt plan to add wyverns, since i dont want them on my server. but thought about making a mod for everyone and not only for my server, and here i am. Will try my best to find a solution for the wyverns

are the deathworms in now? and if so, at what location might they occur most?
Mel  [developer] 6 Jun, 2017 @ 4:49am 
Yeah they are in, and they spawn on mountains, as the description says
MVNIMAL 6 Jun, 2017 @ 10:02am 
so like the snow mountains and like jungle mountains?

Ragnarok Anywhere, imagine, Gryphins flying around the hills, Ice Wyverns on Monster Island, Ice Deadworm in high ice mountains...

Can you add weather from the DLC into the game? Maybe make it toggle-able as well?

Could you make a "Trophy transmitter" for Scorched tribute items that you dont need on The Island? It would something like wyvern talons to giga hearts or rex arms or the scorched alpha creature trophies to the alpha tribute items for the island or something? Just something that might be a good idea.
Could you add the ability to toggle some creatures to spawn or not like the rock golem/elemental?

Will you add phoenix as a rare spawn on the island and other maps?

Hello! could you share the BP paths/lines
for adding the creatures with Simple Spawner?

example of Human NPC's looks like this:
Blueprint'/Game/Mods/Human_NPCs/People/ZKs_Bow_Female_BP.ZKs_Bow_Female_BP'

hope you are still active and see this haha
greets :3dm_mechanic:
