Frequently Asked Questions
Does this mod work with Pokemon Evolved or ARKmon?
- Yes it does. It works with any other type of modded dino as well. Pokemon Allstars has a customized copy of this mod included with it, so you won't need this version when playing Pokemon Allstars.

- Level 5
- 2 Flint
- 2 Hide
- 1 Metal

Why won't you accept my Steam friend request?
- Okay, so no one has asked this, but I feel like this is the best place to put it in case the thought did come to someone's mind. It has happened too. The answer is simple: Please don't take it personally, but I only have a select few with whom I interact and consider friends on my friends list. If I get to know you better, maybe you'll see yourself there, but I tend to respect the idea behind the list. Thanks for your understanding.

What is Pokeball Sickness?
- It's a buff that keeps your captured dinos alive by rescuing them if they're about to die and provides them with the "Return to Pokeball" feature. It's a good thing, despite the name.

What kind of Power do the structures require?
- Electricity

What does "Send to the Professor" do?
- It destroys your Pokeball and the dino inside as a means of cleaning up unwanted dinos

Is there a way to link the Poke PCs together? So you can access your roster across the island?
Aleksey  [developer] 19 Sep, 2017 @ 6:06pm 
Not at the moment, no. That's a feature worth looking into though.
Steve O Malley 19 Sep, 2017 @ 6:13pm 
I dont know how liberal you are with your source code but if that feature would be on your back burner i could try taking a swing at it. Was kinda interested to see how you handled the whole pokeball thing too, did you use buffs to pass the dino info around? I tried doing something simliar but that was a hurdle I could never get over to make it not drop the pokeball as a structure after throwing, im pretty scrub at unreal and the dev kit

I'm pretty locked down when it comes to open source. I've been screwed over in the past, but that's neither here nor there. The Pokeballs were done by utilizing CustomItemData on the PrimalItem and doing a lot of transferring. There are plenty of buffs used as well, but for various things.

I understand, keep up the good work look forward to seeing where the mod goes
Aleksey  [developer] 19 Sep, 2017 @ 6:29pm 
Thanks!

if we remove the mod do the dinos reappear or are any dinons in a pokeball lost? (what about ones with pokeball sicknes?)
Aleksey  [developer] 22 Oct, 2017 @ 1:17pm 
Dinos will appear in your world where they were last captured and the ones with Pokeball Sickness will just have the buff removed, meaning they can die.

Is there a way to disable normal taming and require the pokeball?
Aleksey  [developer] 2 Nov, 2017 @ 8:17am 
Not with this mod, no. You can disable taming, but then the Pokeballs won't work either because they respect that rule. This mod isn't a total conversion so it can't do anything to dinos without some sort of interaction (ie, hit the dino with a ball).

I haven't tried it myself, but you could adjust your own server settings of TamingSpeedMultiplier to 0.0 or close to 0. It could effectively make traditional taming near impossible, so all that's left is the pokeball taming.
Aleksey  [developer] 25 Nov, 2017 @ 11:01am 
Keep in mind though if you turn off the taming enabled setting (forgot the name), Pokeballs won't work at all because they do obey that rule.

Is there a key that allows us to return the dino to the pokeball without going into it's interaction menu?
Aleksey  [developer] 1 Jan, 2018 @ 11:45am 
No, there's no way that would ever work.
Lycanshifter 17 Jan, 2018 @ 3:32am
