Paleo ARK Expansion: Official Guide

This is the Official guide for the Paleo ARK: Legends Expansion mod on the Steam workshop. Included is detailed information on .ini configs and spawncodes!

About this mod

Welcome to the Paleo ARK, survivor! The Paleo ARK expansion transforms your single player or server into a true experience based on my Paleo ARK cinematic series on my YouTube channel! This mod adds a bunch of new variants, several new species, and (soon enough!) mini-bosses based on the characters from the episodes themselves. They roam about your ARK, ready to be defeated for rewards, or to be tamed and aid you in PvP or boss arenas!

In this guide you'll find detailed info on how to set the mod up on your singleplayer or server, what this mod has to offer, spawn codes, and everything else in-between! Thank you for giving my mod a look and I hope you enjoy it. I am trying my best every day to make sure the mod is updated and bug free and provides the best experience you can have on ARK

.ini Configs and Kraken's Better Dinos Compatibility

In this part of the guide, you'll find how to set up the Paleo ARK Legends Expansion on your singleplayer or server. Paleo ARK has several config settings that need to be put under this header in your GameUserSettings.ini

The header you have to add in yourself is

[PaleoArk]

Dino name tags. use these in the various configs below

• Allo
  
• Baryonyx
  
• Rex
  
• Trike
  
• Spino
  
• Stego
  
• Dilo
  
• Kentro
  
• Therizinosaurus
  
• Sabertooth
  
• Raptor
  
• Yutyrannus
  
• Megalosaurus
  
• Para
  
• Carno
  
• Andrewsarchus
  
• Thylacoleo
  
• Carcha
  
• Tropeognathus
  
• Moschops
  
• Gigant
  
  ARK Additions Dinos (Requires ARK Additions: The Collection)
  
• Acro
  
• Deinosuchus

Here are the available configurations to customize your Paleo ARK experience!

RidableDilos=True/False

This function is now irrelevant. If you want Dilophosaurs to be rideable, please use Kraken's Better Dinos in conjunction with this one.

PreventDesertTarbo=True/False

Set to true to prevent Tarbos having any chance of spawning wild on any maps, ie. Rex spawns on Scorched will remain as Rexes

SPAWN CHANCES

VariantSpawnChance=

This is one config that will handle all spawn chances. It works in the format of DinoNameTag:Chance, The default chance is 0.6., the max chance is 1.0. Set higher, more chance of being a Paleo Dino, lower, less chance. Example config would be:

VariantSpawnChance=Dilo:1,Spino:0.2,Kentro:0.5

ie. Guaranteed Paleo Dilos, much lowered chance for Paleo Spinos, and slightly lowered chance for Paleo Kentros.

RexSpawnWeights=PaleoRex:1,Evolved:0.01

Must be input in exactly that format. This is a weighting config and that is the default settings. This gets rolled when the logic decides to spawn a Paleo Rex in place of a regular Rex, so defaults are roughly 1% chance to spawn an Evolved Tyrannosaur. If you wanted them to all have an equal chance of spawning, set them all to the same, ie. RexSpawnWeights=PaleoRex:1,Evolved:1 If you don't want either Evolved Rexes s to spawn, set them to 0, ie RexSpawnWeights=PaleoRex:1,Evolved:0 etc.

LEVEL MULTIPLIERS

VariantLevelMultipliers=

This works on the same format as the Spawn Chance config, but what you're setting is the Final NPC Level Multiplier of the dino in question. This is the same multiplier that Tek Dinos use for higher levels. For reference they are set to 1.2. Example config may be:

VariantLevelMultipliers=Dilo:1.2,Spino:2,Kentro:10

Which would be on a 5x server, Dilos same as Tek Dinos up to 180, Spinos up to 300, and Kentros up to 1,500!

TarboLevelMultiplier=1.0

EvolvedRexLevelMultiplier=1.0

Since both Evolved Tyrannosaurs and Tarbos share the Dino Name Tag of PodRex we can't include them in the VariantLevelMultipliers= config, so each gets its own. Works the same way through 1.0 standard levels, 1.2 Tek Dino levels, etc.

Kraken's Better Dinos compatibility & setup

This mod is fully compatible with Kraken's Better Dinos. In order to get this working, you need to put this in your GameUserSettings.ini, under your [BetterDinos] header for your config settings

[BetterDinos]
BuffsIncludeSource=PaleoARKLegends

You can find the mod Kraken's Better Dinos here. I highly recommend it, not just because of compatibility, but the mod overhauls alot of creatures in the game and everything is configurable for it to be used the way you want it to!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1565015734

Currently Carnotaurus and Tropeognathus do not receive their improvements via KBD but hopefully that will change in the future

Replace all Wild Vanilla Gigas with Paleo ARK Evo Giganotosaurus

In the VariantSpawnChance config, add Gigant:1 to rteplace all wild vanilla gigas with my TLC

Change the Evo Giga Fury-dismount threshold

You can change how many Gigas are required to cause them to dismount players when one giga enrages too. This config is called:

gigaberserkthreshold=

After the “=” you can set a number that will represent the amount of Gigas it takes before they dismount their riders. So if you put 10, that means that if there is more than 10 Gigas, then all Gigas will enrage and any riders they have will be dismounted
By default, the number is “2”. So if one giga enrages, so will the other giga, and both will not dismount their riders. If there are 3 or more, all 3+ gigas will dismount. The purpose of this config is to balance control how many gigas can safely exist and enrage in a small area without dismounting their riders and becoming completely berserk
Example: I want the threshold for Gigas to dismount their riders set to more than 5, so if more than 5 gigas are in radius of eachother and one enrages, then the config will be:

gigaberserkthreshold=5

If you don’t want gigas to dismount their riders when enraged you can set the number to something stupidly high, like 1000. If you want Gigas to always dismount riders when they enrage (Like vanilla) set that number to 1
Allowing/Disallowing Evo Gigas into Boss Arenas
By default, the dragweight of Evo Gigas is 550, exactly the same as a rex. This allows them to enter boss arenas (Where the max dragweight allowed is 550) but for server owners, if you do not want Evo Gigas to enter boss arenas, use this config here:

PaleoGigaDragWeight=950

The default dragweight of a vanilla Giganotosaurus is 950, so it is recommended you set it to that. Do not set it to something else ridiculous. I don’t wanna hear if you broke your game by doing something stupid and not using the configs as intended.
So, with everything configured, you should have something like this in your gameusersettings.ini

[PaleoARK]
VariantSpawnChance=Gigant:1
GigaBerserkThreshold=5
PaleoGigaDragWeight=950

So with this config setting, I have set up EVO Gigas to completely replace vanilla Gigas in the wild, it takes more than 5 Gigas to cause rider dismounting when one enrages, and the dragweight is adjusted so that they cannot enter boss arenas
Setting up Dino Storage V2 to convert vanilla Gigas into EVO Giga
If you’re using the mod Dino Storage V2, you can set the mod up to convert classes to other classes in soulballs. You can copy and paste it into your Dino Storage config settings here
ConvertClass=/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Giganotosaurus/Gigant_Character_BP.Gigant_Character_BP:/Game/Mods/PaleoARKlegends/PaleoVariants/PaleoGiga/PA_Giga_Character_BP.PA_Giga_Character_BP,/Game/Genesis2/Dinos/BiomeVariants/Gigant_Character_BP_Rockwell.Gigant_Character_BP_Rockwell:/Game/Mods/PaleoARKlegends/PaleoVariants/PaleoGiga/PA_Giga_Character_BP.PA_Giga_Character_BP
With the above settings, all vanilla Gigas and Rockwell Gigas will be converted into EVO Gigas. For more information on Dino Storage V2, please check out the link here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1822824970

The Paleo ARK Variants (Spawn codes included!)

Variants generally are mostly vanilla dinosaurs sporting fancy new color patterns. Some may be larger than normal, some smaller, some variants have differences in patterns between sexes, and some may even glow in the dark! They all have vanilla stats unless otherwise stated.



Paleo ARK Tyrannosaurs have differing patterns for males and females, based on a few classic Jurassic Park toy patterns. They have a new roar animation that allows them to walk/run during the animation, and a very familiar roar sound effect. There are also Alpha variants that completely replace vanilla alpha rexes.

New Species (Spawn codes Included!)

On the Paleo ARK, new species are brought in via the Overseer's experimentation, or through the forced evolution that its prehistoric inhabitants go through



The Tyrannosaurs on the ARK are slowly evolving into a newer form. Males are decorated with a light coat of protofeathers that runs along the length of their spine. Females are bald. Evolved Tyrannosaurs can be found in the wild but are SUPER rare, by default configs they have a 1% chance. There is also a 1% chance of a Paleo ARK Tyrannosaur laying a fertilized evolved rex egg too!

Evolved Tyrannosaurs have a stomp attack bound to the spacebar. Use this to knock enemies back and get rid of those pesky butt-riders! Use C to pick up players and small dinos (Click again to drop them!)

There are also Alpha Evolved Tyrannosaurs you can find. These guys have a chance at dropping Evolved rex/Tarbo saddles, so keep an eye out!

EVO Giganotosaurus (Paleo ARK Giga TLC)

OVERVIEW AND SPAWN LOCATIONS

The Giganotosaurus of Paleo ARK is a fully custom TLC’d creature. It has a completely new model and textures, and a custom animation rig with a full unique set of animations. Almost nothing of ARK’s official Giga is used. An “EVO” in the Paleo ARK mod means it is a full TLC and rework of its vanilla equal, an “evolved” species, if you will.

The Giga will spawn wherever vanilla Gigas (Including R-Gigas) are found on any map, as their spawns are completely dependent on vanilla Gigas existing. If Gigas don’t spawn, EVO Gigas will not. Do not use mods in conjunction with Paleo ARK that completely replace vanilla spawns with their own versions. This mod does not replace tamed vanilla Gigas.

HOW TO TAME

Upon finding an Evo Giga, you need to have a Giganotosaurus heart first. You can get one from killing vanilla Gigas, Carcharodontosaurus, Paleo ARK Carcharondontosaurus, and of course Evo Gigas themselves. Approach the wild Evo Giga with the heart in your inventory.

The Giga will first rear up and sniff the air, after which it will start approaching you. This may take a bit as the Evo Giga will wander around a little as it draws closer to you. Once it draws close enough, it will sniff the ground (At this point the Giga heart will remove itself from your inventory) then it will slam its tail on the ground and let out a roar into the air. This initiates the taming process

The Giganotosaurus will then proceed to attack, prioritizing the player who had the Giga heart in their inventory. With every attack, the Giga will begin to exhaust itself. Each attack deals torpor back to itself. Causing it to rage by dealing damage to it will make it do a double stomp attack, which in turn will cause it to deal massive amounts of torpor.

Eventually, the Giga will reach full torpidity, and then wobble as it falls over unconscious. Now you can feed it like you would with a vanilla Giga (Same kibble, same meat requirements) do be careful as its torpor drain is still really fast!

Once this process is over the Giga will wake up and be tamed!

TAMED GIGANOTOSAURUS OVERVIEW

Controls

Left click - Bite attack
Left click & Looking left - Left tail swipe
Left click & Looking right - Right tail swipe
Right click - Roar (Cosmetic only, for now…)
C - crouch/uncrouch (Used to fit into tighter areas, Island Tek cave etc., you cannot attack nor roar in this stance currently)
Spacebar - Double Stomp (Available only when the Giga is in Fury!)

Stats (At level 1)

Health-2500
Stamina-400
Oxygen-150
Food-3999.9
Weight-700
Melee-20%
Speed-100%
Torpidity-10000.5%

Breeding
Breeding Evo Gigas is the same as vanilla, all stats/requirements/cooldowns and timers are exactly the same as vanilla gigas. Babies take the same amount of time to mature as well.

Color Regions

Region 0 - Main Body
Region 1 - Throat and belly-scales
Region 4 - Lower body region
Region 5 - Back and stripes

“Fury” Ability Overview
“Fury” is alot like the vanilla ARK Giga rage. You build up Fury when the Giga takes damage. The Evo Giga builds up Fury faster and loses it slower in comparison to the vanilla Giga’s rage. When the Fury meter (The little heart icon) begins to go up, the Giga will begin to deal extra damage to its target. The amount of damage dealt continues to increase as the target’s HP decreases, allowing the Giganotosaurus to kill its target faster.
At max fury, the Giga will play a tail slam and roar, and its eyes will glow (Along with an alpha-buff particle effect surrounding its head) and it will last about 35 seconds. In this time, the Giganotosaurus will begin to regenerate any lost HP (50/sec) and it can deal damage to any allies around it, so make sure they stay clear of its path. Do not dismount as you will not be able to hop back on until the fury state ends
Also (And only) in this state, the Giga can utilize a double stomp attack. The stomp attack deals a metric ♥♥♥♥-ton of damage per foot stomp.
Gigas alone or in pairs can enrage and not dismount their riders. However, having 3 or more allied gigas in the vicinity (Be it my Evo Giga or vanilla gigas) will cause them all to enrage and dismount their riders. In this state they will target anything and everything, including you. The limit of how many gigas can be around enraged before they dismount their riders is configurable, please scroll back up to the configs section of this guide for more info

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you do (insert variant here) or (Insert new creature here)please?

I generally don't take requests. I may find some interesting and may have ideas but it's not a guarantee that it will 100% come to fruition

New creatures are alot more work, time, and effort, and require work that is above my skillset. With this being my mod, I am very picky on what I want to introduce and spend my time on implementing.

Do these variants also override Aberrant, X, Eden or Rockwell variant dinos?

They do not. These dinos are set up to spawn wherever their vanilla counterparts do.

Do you plan on making DLC variants of the Paleo ARK variants?

With the exception of the Genesis 2 R-Greater Yutyrannus, no. Paleo ARK variants are variants of their own. I'm not interested in dedicating work to making variants of Paleo ARK variants for the DLCs. Too much work and time that could be applied to much more important things

When will (INSERT THING HERE) release?

When I feel like it. Stop asking for release dates.

More frequently asked questions will be added here as they are asked
