@The Great Goose, well you can alway use one of the tools to pry the desired Shiny effect off of the parent and then give it to a child you want. I mean, sure you can't breed an army of shinies, but I do recall there being a shiny transfer tool.

Use Dino Storage instead of cryopods, it'll preserve the Shiny!

brooo the shinys lost their condition if you put them on a criopod :((((

It's honestly kind of a shame that you can't *actually* breed shinies together to produce more shinies.

I adore the concept of the mod and the several variations are inventive. Some traits are far more useful than others. But the only relevance shiny dinos have beyond that when it comes to breeding is their wild levels. They become fundamentally useless once you have a stable foothold. Cool, you get a shiny apex- but it's a wild tame. No imprinting. No mutations. No nada. They're nice to look at and that's about it. The fact that you can't even breed two shiny dinos that are literally the same and replicate it for another generation is kind of ludicrous? For any serious endgame content you're just better off focusing on breeding standard dinos.

Now, if you COULD breed them together and actually recreate the unique effects they possess, then hey, that would be pretty dang neat. At least you'd get useful longevity out of them.

Is the SpawnInterval in seconds?

how do u get the shiny admin setting to come up so i can turn on the show shiny when tamed

I am having exactly the same issue as TIYONIK in SP. A shiny emerges then disappears 1min 50secs later (I timed it). So there is just a continuous stream of shiny dinos emerging and disappearing at the top of the screen. I have max set to 20 on the map at one time and 6hr min/ 9hr max existence time frame. I have used these settings before without any issue, any ideas please?
TIYONIK May 8 @ 5:42pm 
im running this on my SP, a shiny will "emerge" then around 15 seconds later its gone.... any help?

I wish there was a configuration to whitelist/blacklist the various color patterns and I would like an option to remove the rabbit ears. Cute, but it just went on for way too long. I come to this game to get away from the Easter decorations.

not 100% sure it is this mod, but is there a possibility that this mod allows for collision changes (issues) with parasaurus wings touching you and being able to throw you off and away ? ill also send this comment to the other likely culprit of this... problem.
so far i love the particles on shinies, pls do tell me author, if i store these dynos, do they still count to the 10 shiny limit or no ?

so.. do i have to post the ini. into my server ini. i dont see it by default in there anywhere.
nevcairiel  [author] Mar 20 @ 10:57am 
I would recommend to use a spawn time of maybe 1-2 minutes instead just to avoid shenanigans. As long as you don't set the spawn time to 0 it should work.
Nket Mar 20 @ 10:04am 
Having trouble with the spawn rate - what I'm trying to do for my server is have 25 max dinos, no expiration time, and so that they respawn / populate almost immediately.

I've tried setting the min spawn time and max spawn time to 1-3 seconds, but they just aren't spawning at all.

Everything else with the mod works great, love it.

every second spawend something super insane why

Are enraged dinos supposed to follow you across an entire map even after several minutes of them being well outside of render range?
Rhinlord Feb 23 @ 6:48pm 
Trapping Shiny Coelecanths with the fish trap removes the shiny status/

Has anyone came across a “shiny Pygmy true raptor” before? What is the true trait?
AidanVS Feb 5 @ 7:56pm 
Enraged dinos suuuck. Across multiple maps early game I've had enraged flyers come out of nowhere and blow through me and whatever dinos I have. In general they've just been a subtractive experience overall.
NoobNugget77 Dec 22, 2024 @ 7:53pm 
my chibi isnt gaining levels when i kill an enraged, is that because of the new map?
[mwcv]SimonRileyghost Dec 17, 2024 @ 8:51am 
what does right clicking the remote of the shiny dino finder do?
ViscousTime Dec 11, 2024 @ 12:25am 
So is there a setting to turn off the event(x-mas, thanksgiving, valentines, etc) variants yet? I asked for this a couple years ago (or at least some kind of solution) and I think the best answer I might've received was "turn off ark events". Well I still want ARK events its the holiday variants that chew up all the available shiny spawns that I don't want. I'd blacklist them manually but there isn't a list of them either. I'd greatly appreciate a solution to this, thanks.

I do not normally post comments on anything really on steam but this needs to be said the mod itself works and is ok only problem I'm having is a QUITE LITERALLY MAD SHINY BRONTO with 100K HP beating my base down and doesn't ever stop following me without a dino wipe
Lukibrooo Oct 29, 2024 @ 5:59am 
where do i see the notification when a shiny spawns?
Cizet Oct 28, 2024 @ 10:45pm 
why when i collect dinosaur in cryopod it loses shiny? how to fix it
Foxythepi_20 Oct 15, 2024 @ 7:47am 
Are they rare, and will the mod work with krakens better dinos?
BIll Dauterive Oct 6, 2024 @ 12:56am 
I found it on discord, I will leave it here for any who needs it

BIll Dauterive Oct 5, 2024 @ 11:18pm 
Does anyone know the blueprint path for "raw shiny essence"?, I have been trying to find it for a few days now, and no luck, I'm trying to add it to the "S+ PullResourceAdditions" list to make it easier to find and so I can store it in the dedicated storage.
STOIN Oct 4, 2024 @ 3:20pm 
I initially bug reported this as the information isn't anywhere, but, Trick-or-Treat transforms the creature into something else upon tame.
NoobNugget77 Sep 20, 2024 @ 9:36pm 
anyway to change the items from an enraged dino reward? i seem to just be getting different tiered fishing rods.
rising.135 Sep 15, 2024 @ 3:27pm 
they wont mate with each other
Fya Sep 6, 2024 @ 9:51pm 
Can you use the tamed shineys abilities? I just tamed a "Dazzling" Saber, it flash banged me, and now i want to use its ability but i cannot find the button if there is one
Uncle Bob Aug 30, 2024 @ 2:19pm 
Just an FYI this mod clashes with Human NPCs mod
JackGenesisX Aug 11, 2024 @ 7:08pm 
This mod is already abandoned and is only being worked on in asa?
lgneira Aug 4, 2024 @ 6:52am 
Can you have two or more abilities?
Frosted mini Yeets Jun 17, 2024 @ 12:02am 
if you breed a spectral dino can it pass the spectral color or will it always take the color of the other dino
Frosted mini Yeets Jun 13, 2024 @ 8:09am 
are some of the abilities off by default? ive never seen anything spawn that was fathomless radioactive taser or burning.
RedSkulls Jun 12, 2024 @ 11:53am 
Could you please rework the enraged dino, that they dont follow you outside of visibilityrange , so if they once see you u are damend cause they follow you everywhere whever they see you or not.
Black_Flame Jun 5, 2024 @ 11:24am 
what are the god dang spawn commands for the items
Frosted mini Yeets Jun 5, 2024 @ 10:30am 
so when a shiny wyvern appears you are saying i can find a shiny wyvern egg?
The Flickering Remnant Effigy Jun 4, 2024 @ 5:06am 
specifically,does the shiny state get removed when they change states? (AKA berserker state and normal state)
The Flickering Remnant Effigy Jun 4, 2024 @ 5:05am 
I have a question,does this work properly with ferroxs? :o
Black_Flame Jun 3, 2024 @ 8:20pm 
commands?
Kalyteros May 27, 2024 @ 12:16am 
Certain dinos seem to be breaking it. Mostly mod dinos it seems. The ceratosaurus just straight up won't go shiny. Tek dinos are doing the same thing. I know I have the correct ID. I've gotten them to work before, not sure what's different.
duderish Apr 29, 2024 @ 12:41pm 
does this work w/ primal fear?
nevcairiel  [author] Apr 20, 2024 @ 11:19pm 
Shiny does not change taming of dinos. Are you able to knockout tame normal Wyvern? Nope! Go find its egg. :)
Daniel J. D'Arby Apr 20, 2024 @ 6:55pm 
are you able to knock out tame a shiny wyvern on scorched?
BIll Dauterive Apr 19, 2024 @ 4:20pm 
@SkylanceTV they should not disappear even the shiny dino should still be there, as far as I know the shiny dinos just lose their shiny status and abilities, but the colors and levels should stay the same, but just to let you know the abilities are not passed on to the childeren.
SkylanceTV Apr 19, 2024 @ 1:02pm 
Im curious if u breed with a Reg dino and a shiny, but u remove the mod, would all the new babies go with it?
