Prehistoric Beasts

Description
MOD ID 2003934830

Dinosaurs from A to Z! Land, air, river, sea, I have them all! Each dinosaur uses a unique, exciting model! Big and small, fluffy or scaly, Prehistoric Beasts is the mod for someone who loves dinosaurs.

I try my best to create interesting dinosaurs that fit where I think Ark is lacking. From adding more dinosaurs that allow rider mounted weaponry to more unique taming methods, each of my dinosaurs are special. So join along in my journey to add a few more beasts into this wild game!

Purussaurus is in the ASA version of the mod.

Neimongo has feathers in the ASA version
Venasai Apr 18 @ 10:15am 
have neimongosaurus textures been updated to have feathers/fur yet?
Excuse me, does this mod have Purussaurus?
Crysta  [author] Mar 10 @ 3:25am 
Do you have hibernation disabled?

I am on a single-player server, and I am encountering this issue on the map The Island.

Are you on single player or a server?
If you are single player, disabling hibernation does fix a lot of spawn issues.
Otherwise, you can use ini to tweak spawns. Which map is the issue?

Hello, i don't know if it's just me, but I am encountering a particular issue with the Yangchuanosaurus dinosaur, which, in my case, has an abnormally high spawn rate in the Arctic biome, ruining the gameplay experience. If anyone knows how to fix this, I would appreciate a solution. Otherwise, congratulations to the mod creator for providing exceptional work.

I have no idea if it works with the hunted, but it might!

That's more of an ark issue. If you load my mod first, then you get my seeds and not those seeds. No way around it
