Is it normal for the horses (once you tamed them) to change their designs? When I leave my world and go back on it, I see that my horses have changed their colors and their patterns

Will be this available on ASA?

Just tested it using the dino storage mod, and not single player restart, and the patterns do stay.

These two are the same species, and same colors, but different patterns. However, I have the feeling it was done using the male/female dimorphism that some species have (such as shadowmanes), so it wouldn't work here. Sadly.

I don't have enough of those equuses to be positive though. I have four, the two female are both striped, and I believe both males are spotted. It *could* be a coincidence that I just happened to catch four patterned equuses and their pattern breakdown was just along male/female line. (I doubt it, but it could happen)

I would really love to use this mod, but sadly, only play single player.

However, there is a mod called Patterns... nuff said, that *seems* to have at least two patterns for their equus (a spotted and a striped) that don't reroll when the server restarts. These seem to be the same equus character_bp, though I haven't tried breeding them.

While I understand about the size issue, I would love to use these even if they can't breed together, they are all gorgeous.

Of course, I already have a problem with collecting equus/horses, so this wouldn't really help...

Is there a list of servers that use this mod?
GaBaG Mar 26, 2024 @ 2:45am 
Hi, I have a server, but this mod doesn't work anyway. Can anyone help me with this?
GaBaG Nov 5, 2023 @ 3:06am 
Hello, I want to ask how to create a server for this mod can anyone advise me how to create a server?
O-DemonKill-O Nov 3, 2023 @ 2:14pm 
Hi ! Your mod is incredible ! its possible to change the white layers on the pattern ? thanks ^^

I got so excited for this mod just to be hit with the description of the mod saying "For servers only"
I have never ran into a mod of this sort, that was limited to servers only for whatever reason. That's really sad. I would love this for singleplay. No idea why it wouldn't be able to be a singleplayer thing, but I guess it just isn't. Oh well, sorry but I guess I can't use this mod then. :bummer:

Do these horses still kick to knock out dinos? It could be just the server I'm on..
Doudel  [author] Mar 1, 2023 @ 6:06am 
Yeah I know RR-StarEquus - really nice mod :) than use this Mod!

I think that is the speciality of Equus Variants , that you can breed all Variants with each other and dont know which pattern will come.

There are 39 possible patterns so this will be 39 Character_BP = bigger Mod size, etc.

In my last comment is a mistake: it should be: Cause I think they use a lot of Character_BP so you CANT breed every horse with each other.

You are all free to use the Mod you like more.

RR-StarEquus https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2524955574
But here only the same type of haroses can breed with each other so pinto with pinto, but pinto with andalusian can not. I think this would be a fair trade btw.
Doudel  [author] Feb 26, 2023 @ 11:26am 
Show me this horse mods, please! Cause I think they use a lot of Character_BP so you can breed every horse with each other. This horse mod just use one Character_BP ;) what seems to me more natural.
slawver97 Feb 26, 2023 @ 11:21am 
Other horse mods don’t retool which make them better. This needs to change because we get some really awesome horses that we can’t keep! Rerolling is pointless.
Behemoth Jan 24, 2023 @ 10:08pm 
You said rerolling coats happens in single player, but not servers. Does non dedicated count? Can I just play non dedicated and have the coats stay the same?
slawver97 Jan 24, 2023 @ 1:36am 
I’m sad it doesn’t keep the colors on Single Player. Can it not be “fixed”? 🙏🥹
Cyn Lennox Dec 25, 2022 @ 1:39am 
tamed horses switch model every time you start the game. hope this can be fixed.
Mkau Oct 8, 2022 @ 5:35am 
I would love to use this mod in single player, even with only the brown and white colors, because in the end you could still get mutations in and change the colors. Another workaround would be to set each variant as it's own custom creature/variant. (I think the mod RR-Horses does that)
I still hope that you might find a solution for it, so all players ca enjoy this - in my opinion - best horse mod for ark.
Sidea Lannister Sep 16, 2022 @ 3:33am 
I think it would be nice to make the only white and brown but not changing version aviable for single player. I mean you can always just repaint them.

Thank you so much for this mod we've been using it since it came about and love it so much, appreciate all of your hard work Doudel!
Savago May 1, 2022 @ 1:55pm 
This is a wonderful mod; I love all of your gorgeous horses!

I'm curious though - would it be difficult to add an ini setting to prevent the more fantasy-type patterns/textures from spawning?

Thanks again for such a fantastic mod!
Doudel  [author] Apr 30, 2022 @ 12:22pm 
Yeah this happens when you play SinglePlayer. I tried to change this but it does not help, unfortunately
thetruexfarm Apr 30, 2022 @ 12:20pm 
the pattern of my horse keeps changing whenever I load into the map and its annoying.
Shadowdragon3 Apr 15, 2022 @ 1:21pm 
Just recently played on the Caballus map and I love the horses so I've downloaded this mod so I can have them on the other maps!
Senaru Mar 31, 2022 @ 9:49am 
Oh that's wonderful :D
Doudel  [author] Mar 30, 2022 @ 11:31pm 
The Equus Variants are just available on Lost Island now (:
Senaru Mar 30, 2022 @ 5:13pm 
Do we have any update notes for the recent update on the 28th? or was it a general update?
Falco1923 Mar 25, 2022 @ 3:15pm 
Are there any Spawn Codes for Wild Horses?
Cadence Mar 24, 2022 @ 10:46am 
Wow! Attitude. They asked a simple question. You don't have to be an enormous jerk.
Doudel  [author] Dec 25, 2021 @ 12:56pm 
Does someone read the Description of a mod? Do you play on Single Player? Yes? Than there is unfortunately no way to stop it.
Excidialis Dec 24, 2021 @ 4:55am 
The colors and patterns of my horses change everytime I load the game. Any way to stop that?
Khiimori Dec 17, 2021 @ 11:13am 
thank you! I love the color options of your mod and eagerly wait for them to show up in game for me :D
Doudel  [author] Dec 17, 2021 @ 10:36am 
@Shannara: well I dont know which Spawner Lost Island is using. I need to wait until Lost Island is in the DevKit and I know which Spawner are used ^^ Maybe Lost Island has Custom Spawner, Ark never used before
Khiimori Dec 17, 2021 @ 1:19am 
hi, I have your mod installed on Lost Island but the re-colors do not seem to be working
Doudel  [author] Nov 19, 2021 @ 12:19am 
The Shimmer Variants are exclusive to Caballus (:
Doudel  [author] Nov 19, 2021 @ 12:19am 
Mutation are possible yes
Draksvoid Nov 18, 2021 @ 11:56am 
Does this mod include the shimmer variants or are those exclusive to the map (so no transferring them out to another map)?
WillowGhostSong Nov 17, 2021 @ 7:03am 
can you mutate them like normal equus?
Doudel  [author] Nov 7, 2021 @ 5:23am 
They are just added
Archy Bunker Nov 7, 2021 @ 4:56am 
Does this over ride the vanilla variants or just add to them?
Doudel  [author] Nov 5, 2021 @ 1:11pm 
They are!
xTosca Nov 5, 2021 @ 1:50am 
Are these all able to breed with eachother, or?
Senaru Oct 31, 2021 @ 2:02pm 
Awesome :D!
Doudel  [author] Oct 31, 2021 @ 12:29pm 
@Senaru, yeah of course it is an idea I can pursure (:
Senaru Oct 31, 2021 @ 12:07pm 
What a wonderful mod! I've been looking for something like this forever! Is there any chance we might see a rare unicorn with the coat variations? That'd be stellar!
Myth Oct 28, 2021 @ 9:32am

Doudel  [author] Sep 19, 2021 @ 5:08am

Mxe Sep 18, 2021 @ 7:01am 
discord doesnt work- it just randomizes the colours with every login :/ which kinda sucks
