Stealing Dinos - Mod?

[....]

I dont dislike the mechanic as a concept but the way its implemented is just awful and just frustrating - especially them stealing complete stacks and instantly consuming them without any effect on them.

Is there a mod or way to set up a server to for example add something like:
- them either just stealing a % of a stack OR
- them not eating everything instantly but with a timer - so for example if you kill them fast you actually get most of your stuff back etc.? (it makes no sense anyways that they can instantly eat everything while fighting)

I have looked for mods but i only find ones that either delete them, replace them completely or change their mechanic in a way that makes them completely pointless.

You can use those two

I don´t think you should take all three because the last one changes both dinos and it could broke your game, but I have no experience with mods anyway, that´s just what I found and the description of the first two sound what you´re looking for.

I know of those but the low steal is just making them pointless - 1 item at a time - andf the stop steal makes them pointless aswell.

As i said i think the mechanic is funny - and it should matter to some extent - but the deciding factor if you loose everything etc. should be player skill and dedication.

Or are those mods adjustable?


For example:
- having them steal complete stacks but "eating" what they stole with a timer for each item so you will actually only loose a lot if you dont kill it fast

- or having them take a complete stack - not consume much but flee so you have to chase them down etc.

You asking for a very specific thing, I mean if they steal a whole stack they´re to hard and if they steal only one at a time the steal mechanic is pointless.

I don´t think the mods are adjustable but the low steal mods are a good balance between steal nothing and steal all, removing the steal would make them pointless and removing them from the game is it even more.
Besides, you can get your stuff back from a vanilla (unmodded) Pegomastax, so your only problem is that the Ichytornis are pointless because they only steal one meat per attack and I think you should be okay with that, because there are not much other options and it´s a fair balance between all or nothing.

You can also tame a sinomacrops. It's a shoulder pet you wear on your back.

They have an ability where they scare away all the "pest" dinos. The ichtyornis (seagull), the pego, the giant ants, etc.

The scream also damages insects, and can instantly kill some.

Oh, and a sinomacrops lets you fly upwards, glide, and act as a parachute too. I've gotten so used to the flying part that I've nearly killed myself jumping off of high building at my base, in situations where I'd switched to another shoulder pet for some other purpose. I wear a sinomacrops 24/7
