Better Spawns

I no longer mod for ARK. I made this quickly to solve something that bothered me in the game, then I got rid of the DevKit altogether. This mod will continue to work for the foreseeable future on any map unless WC makes some change to the specific thing this mod impacts. Feel free to keep using it!

Ragnarok's bountiful high levels are brought to every map.

If you've ever been on one of the official maps (Island / Scorched / etc) you might know how annoyingly tedious it can be to find a high level creature. It's way easier on Ragnarok, right? Not with this mod! The mod essentially takes the same level weightings from Ragnarok and applies them to anything else, which means you'll find higher level dinos more frequently.

Without completely destroying the game balance, this mod can allow you to skip a little bit of the "searching" phase and focus more on taming. Let's be honest, ARK is grindy and time consuming enough without having to spend long hours hunting down that perfect 150.

Please Note:
I'm a complete devkit novice and I was just trying to change something that's bothered me for a while now. I welcome feedback and appreciate critiques. I might not have accounted for everything and the mod may have some issues. If so, I'm sorry - I'll try to fix it, but there's no guarantee that I'll be able to.

Technical Stuff
This mod works solely in the background which means it doesn't have any immediate visual effects, doesn't add any items, and is very light. If you use a mod with a dino scan, you should notice that there are no level 5, 10, 30, 35, 40, 65, 70, 75, 80, 105, 110, 115, 120 or 125 (if using difficulty 5) creatures. You may have to perform a dino wipe after installing the mod.

This mod does not stack with Equalized Dino Levels or High Level, and likely other spawn-weight changing mods.

No existing creatures will be affected, and the mod can be uninstalled easily without any lasting impacts. Your wild dinos will just resume spawning as normal.

This mod does NOT remove low level creatures altogether, it just makes higher level creatures a bit more common.

Modded creatures are affected by this mod, as well as modded maps. Feel free to use the mod for any purpose!
