Dino Wasted Points Redistributor [Discontinued] [Open Source]

Description
As my hardware could no longer support the ever growing size of the dev kit, a decision has been made to let go and uninstall it. Thus I decided to upload the mod files here[drive.google.com] for anyone interested. At this point I'm not sure if the code is up-to-date with the uploaded version, or if changes have been made (sorry about that).

Ever found a max level dino, only to check it's stats and see an incredible amount of levels went into movement speed? Well, this mod won't make it go away, but it will give you the option to redistribute those wasted points using a consumable!

Usage is easy enough: learn engram (level 95), craft in your inventory and feed to a dino to redistribute wild points wasted in movement speed.
There are 2 variants of the redistributor:
  1. Random - redistributes stats randomly between stats that can be leveled up (e.g. health, stamina, food, weight, etc.)
  2. Weighted - redistributes stats weighted towards the highest current level ups

Update

Added the option to redistribute oxygen and food stat points.

GameUserSettings.ini option:
[StatRedistributor] MaxOutStatsOnSuccessfulRedistribution=False GlobalRedistributeOxygen=False GlobalRedistributeFood=False RedistributePointsBackIntoOxygenAndFood=False SpecificRedistributeOxygenCreatures= SpecificRedistributeFoodCreatures=

MaxOutStatsOnSuccessfulRedistribution=False
Maxes out health, stamina, oxygen and food when you redistribute points if set to True.

GlobalRedistributeOxygen=False
Disables redistribution to the oxygen stat for all creatures. If set to True then the SpecificRedistributeOxygenCreatures config option will be ignored.

GlobalRedistributeFood=False
Disables redistribution to the food stat for all creatures. If set to True then the SpecificRedistributeFoodCreatures config option will be ignored.

RedistributePointsBackIntoOxygenAndFood=False
Will redistribute stats back into oxygen and food alongside other stats, even with their redistribution enabled if set to True.

SpecificRedistributeOxygenCreatures=Dodo_Character_BP_C,Raptor_Character_BP_C
Disables redistribution to the oxygen stat only for creatures specified.

SpecificRedistributeFoodCreatures=Dodo_Character_BP_C,Raptor_Character_BP_C
Disables redistribution to the food stat only for creatures specified.

It took me over 4 years to realize I haven't marked this mod as discontinued (only leaving a small comment in the description). So apologies for that.

@Namo considering the overall time passed, and updates over the years, since the mod was last updated, it wouldn't surprise me even if it didn't work at all anymore. The fact that it seems to at least still run and not blow the game up is pretty impressive.

because this mod was last updated before gen2 does that mean that most gen2 dinos are bugged?

the glow dinos behave just fine, but the maewing doesnt.
i use these dinos as example because of the way their stats get used.
the maewing cant gain oxygen from the redist, but glow dinos can.
i am aware that maewings dont even drown, but still.

whats the recipe for the consumable

I admit the options are pretty confusing, and I can't quite remember how it's done internally, but I believe that if you want to disable redistribution to oxygen/food you would set the respective config option to True.

For oxygen and food, if I don't want points to go into those, should I leave the GlobalRedistributeOxygen/Food as false, or set it to true? The wording here is a little confusing.

encountered another problem. the mod worked fine on CI but on the island the engrams arent showing up in the engram list

The RNG tends to be pretty cruel. I'm not sure what could be causing the problem, though. The MaxOutStatsOnSuccessfulRedistribution should only affect health, stamina, oxygen and food (and it only fills them to 100% if the level up points actually get redistributed as the max values would most likely increase).
Sadly I can't check anymore, as I've had to uninstall the dev kit, best chance is if someone willing enough decides to take it from here (since I have uploaded the source files).
