Mod to complete bestiary.

[Shockwave]

My group already played all of Olypmus and Styx and we're base builders and usually teched up more than we should... which is to say we already killed more than enough creatures to have unlocked the entire bestiary of those two worlds....give or take.

But Icarus doesn't remember our kill counts for any animals and it was not translated to the bestiary (same with ribbons). So this feature falls flat for existing players that are not going to grind through killing all those creatures again to unlock what should already be unlocked.'

Is there a mod that does this, or a way to edit the character file?

[КрендельФигов]

I'm afraid that this is not the place where mods should be discussed (this also applies to any cheat methods). Sometimes there are links to posts that describe methods of compensation in case of unforeseen problems, but nothing more.

There is a Linkarus Discord channel – Icarus modding

Yeah I don't use discord, nor would I click on a link from a nobody on a forum

There's a couple of mods, both by Venomtron, with "bestiary" in the title. Search for that and GitHub together and you should find the droid you're looking for.

Is this a forum rule that I missed? Genuinely asking because there have been other mod discussion threads before and staff haven't said anything.

Certainly! Any methods of content modification that are inherently forms of 'cheating' are prohibited from discussion in all official game forums until the contrary is expressly permitted.
There have already been attempts at similar discussions on the off Icarus Discord, but it was explicitly stated that this cannot be done here.
Also on this forum there was recently an attempt to discuss ‘how to get through a wall’, this message was deleted.
If there are no strict sanctions in the form of a ban, this does not mean that such things are allowed, and also does not mean that there is no moderation on this forum. There is a moderator, you just don’t see him.

Thanks, found it.

You can also just edit the file and give you 'maxed' out everything.

Takes about 2 mins

Go to
C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\Icarus\Saved\PlayerData\%Steam64id%

Open the bestiarydata.json file
Each creature has a row like

{
"BestiaryGroup":
{
"RowName": "Moa",
"DataTableName": "D_BestiaryData"
},
"NumPoints": 2819
},

Most will max out at around NumPoints 2000

Just add the ones you want to 'complete' there.

A quick google search will tell you the 'rowname' you need for each creature in the game. (or kill one in game once to populate that row in the file and then edit the numpoints)

Backup the file first, cause one missing comma or spelling mistake and the file will not load

For completeness, and because I'm a nerd, the numbers required are:

Bear 800
Wolf 3000
Chamois 1300
Deer 1350
Rabbit 1500
Kea 1000
Antelope 1800
Scorpion 2000
Cougar 1500
Boar 1500
Moa 2000
Elephant 800
Zebra 1500
Buffalo 1800
Pronghorn 1100
Horse 1300
Baby Deer 900
Cave Worm 2800
Teenage Cave Worm 700
Land Shark 1400
Xiatau (Scorpion boss) 500
Sandworm 400
Arctic Scorpion 1200
Woolly Mammoth 800
Polar Bear 800
Polar Bear Cub 1000
Snow Leopard 1500
Snow Wolf 3000
Tusker 1200
Hyena 3000
Crocodile 1500
Alpha Wolf 400
Bear Cub 1000
Jaguar (inc black) 2000
Komodo 2000

This excludes any new critters on Prometheus as I don't have the expansion (and you wouldn't have killed them already, anyway).

This cannot be repeated enough times if you're mucking around with the game files.

Why are you making things up?

See Natjur's post above that you've previously quoted.
