Thanks for letting me know, will need to know a few more things to help solve this if the issue is caused by my mod. Its a bit odd that melee damage also gets messed up since nothing in my mod touches it, but the more info we have the easier it gets to work stuff like this out.

Does it always happen when the dino has a speed saddle equiped?
Are they dinos from a mod or vanilla dinos?

Can i grab a list/link of the mods that the server is running, because i can only test my mod and super high levels in the dev kit. Plus most things work completly fine in the dev kit and then act up when ingame, i will have to DL mods to test with.

And its 2am for me so i will test this stuff in the morning/afternoon

I know there is an issue with super high level dinos getting their stats messed up when the server restarts, because the stats can only have up to 255 points into them.

It very well could be another mod causing it, but it has never happened until I added your mod, so I am kind of just assuming it. It is happening with Vanilla dinos also tried with some from Extinction Core, I can level them up no problem, then after a little while their stats will freak out. I didnt know about the 255 issue, that could be it as well... as an argent with over 1 mil hp could very well require more than 255 points... but then again when you have 750 points to work with lol

Just did an edit when you posted that

Sorry its taken ages for me to reply, it looks like i had forgotten to hit the "Post Comment" button when i replied a few days ago and had clicked out of this page without paying attention.

From all of the testing i have done, the issue is directly related to my mod and how the game handles the dino stats. Once a dino is tamed and a stat has 255 points into, not including points you put into your self from the dino leveling up. It seems to derp and derp hard.

At least in the dev kit is has only effected the modified stat, health is this case. I haven't see it mess with the melee damage stat yet tho.

The way my mod works, is that the saddles give the dino's a buff. The buff then applies a max stat scaler that only exists while it has buff and for it to have the buff it needs to have the saddle equiped.

Alternatively i could edit the dino's health directly and then edit it again to return it back to its default value. A quick example would be if it adds 500 health to the dino, it would then remove 500 health from the dino once the saddle is removed. I'm currently testing this method to see if it can cause the same issue or other issues

Its all good, I also did some more research and testing and it definatly seems to be an issue with the +255 stats, it seems that the Ark dev's coded dinos so they can only have a max boost of 255 and as soon as you hit 256 when you restart the game it rolls the dinos level back to 1. Really kinda sucks when playing with a mod that adds a metric ♥♥♥♥ ton of points as the dinos are all very high level. You would think that as soon as they realized the bug they would simply put a level stop in place that prevents you from leveling any 1 stat past 255 -_-

So did this get fixed or should I not use the mod for a bit?

The issue is with the game its self and dinos with a crazy high level. Ark devs have done nothing about letting the dino's get more then 255 levels in something.

Im using vanilla Ptera, brand new spawn tamed at lvl120. I equipped the speed saddle which I set to reduce health 50% (the speed saddle is displaying this correctly), but when I equip it it does nothing to the health of the Ptera..
The saddle info reads
Speed is increased by 50.0
Health Options: Enabled
Health is decreased by 50%
I also tried damaging it to see if it perhaps was just not displaying it in the health bar, but it is still taking and has full health as when tamed.
Really love this feature, and would love to see it work. Let me know if you need anymore information!

Thanks for letting me know, will look into it.

Found and fixed the issue, waiting for it to finish cooking so i can update the mod
