Elemental Ark

In 1 collection by draco_aroch
NICE - Extinction - Elemental
13 items
Description
Elemental Ark adds several elemental variances of known dinos to the game. There are 7 elements: Air, Fire, Lightning, Nature, Stone, Ice, and Water. Each has strengths and weaknesses to other elementals (e.g. Water is strong against Fire). Unlike other mods, this one avoids easily taming ridiculously overpowered creatures.

Mod Id: 1576299694

Compatible with all maps - including Genesis

Features tl;dr
  • Stackable (a few creature exceptions - see the discussion section)
  • Load order does not matter
  • 400+ creatures
  • Full colorization - including holiday colors
  • Improved creature AI
  • Raise baby dragons into xeno adults (reaper dragon hybrids)
  • Of course we have reapers
  • Every creature is useful

Maps with unsupported spawners
Use the sickle, pickaxe, and axe to gather elemental essence. Then use the Essence Emitter to convert nearby dinos to an elemental equivalent. The temperature will affect which element types spawn. Alternatively, build the infusion chamber and convert your tames to specific elemental creatures.

There are a ton of ini options. See the discussions section for examples.

This mod is balanced for vanilla, so if you turn things all the way up like that, they’ll have a hard time keeping up.

So, you might need to turn your settings down a bit.

Also, if stat numbers go over 255, they’ll wrap right around to 1, so it’s nutty anyways.

You can do replace creature entries in the ini to eliminate problem spawns. You can also use another mod called Simple Spawners to completely redo spawns/add back smaller numbers of the trouble creatures.

Our ini also has controls for the bosses, in case they’re being a pain. If you need spawn codes, check out the google doc linked in the description of the mod.

Unfortunately spawn control is a pain in Ark and I’ve tried to balance the official maps as best I can. Good luck, I hope you can tweak it to your liking. :)

I LOVE THIS MOD, however, is there a way to make the elemental creatures more rare? i find the regular creatures are more rare than the ones with elements, also the maewing fire thing, whatever that flying thing is the fire variant takes up like 90% of spawns, how can i decrease that?

They can be ko'd with the normal tranq darts but the elemental ones are better and also drain hunger so you can tame faster. The elemental tranq darts are also adjustable in the.ini.

Is it possible to ko the elemental dinos with normal tranq darts or specifically the elemental tranqs?

Our creatures tame the same as base versions do.

Heck we probably put the mod out before that game existed base on the change logs hehe.
