There is not @Plastic Puppet, there is a newer mod now that does the same thing with a config tho, Sizing
Plastic Puppet Feb 19, 2023 @ 1:27pm 
Is there a config at all to customize size?

There is a very frustrating bug with this mod, from what i've seen if you carry a mob you tamed (or even a wild one) his size change (not permanently).

For exemple a took a direwolf i just tamed with a Desmodus, bring him near my other direwolves, and he's HUGE, and no he was not a 1.15 near 0.85. He was a 0.90 nearly the same as others. When i leave my base, and comeback he has it's normal size again.

Next time it carry a ankylo with a Argentavis, several times i pick him up durting a trip when i land, he is the size of an argentavis foot, if i go on him my character shrink massively. I leave and comeback so he has it's normal size, but the he's all glitchy, same happened with the big direwolf.

And i have no mod that should conflict with this, i don't get it.

What will happen to all dinos if i remove the mod on my server ?

Amazing Mod, adds alot of variety between each species without making them look the same. Any plans on fixing the frame rate?:steamthumbsup:

only worked on vanilla dinos?

As good as an idea it seems, the performance hit makes the game unplayable in single player. Unfortunate really.

Command for size soup?

Is there a way to set the size of a dino with commands? i really want mini managarmers
Mikau Aug 22, 2022 @ 2:51pm 
I'm so sad that the mod eats my frames, they dropped from 100 to 30. I love the idea.
StalkerShadowCB Jun 26, 2022 @ 7:16am 
theres a way to spawn a dino with the size modified? if is pls tell me the comand, when i spawn them they are the normal size
Sophira Jun 22, 2022 @ 7:54pm 
It is an amazing mod but it unfortunately dropped my frames by at least 20-30. (Singleplayer)

can i change Creatures max/minimum sizes? i want sizes between 0.50 and 2.0
Gnomo Jun 15, 2022 @ 11:45am 
works with FJORDUR?
Tonota Jun 1, 2022 @ 6:14pm 
This mod is super fun and an amazing idea, but saldy it does lag my game kike hell to the point i cant realy use it :/

Are there any items planned that will be able to specifically change a dino's size, kinda like Upgrade My Dino? (Like +/- .1, .5, .10, .15) They could be a creative/spawn command only type thing, it would be a pretty nice thing to have. It could be used to take care of buff-loss due to cryopod, or just to get a specific size for a specific dino that you just want to be big or small. I hope you consider it!
LordTalwinHawkins May 20, 2022 @ 3:20pm 
anyone know if this works with the small bosses mod?

K4Ch0nkyB4by6010  [author] May 1, 2022 @ 4:49pm 
@the meat master
It should be fine anywhere in the mod list.
Jyuratodus May 1, 2022 @ 11:53am 
does this mod need to be above other mods to work?
Garghoul May 1, 2022 @ 10:18am 
I wonder why heavy things move slower, It's a mystery.
Basil Apr 26, 2022 @ 6:01am 
why would a bigger dino lose speed? that makes no sense at all, it should be the opposite
Mr Horvat Apr 23, 2022 @ 9:16pm 
done this for achievement

Sorry if this was already asked or explained, but what happens when you breed these dinos?
MaximusPM Apr 18, 2022 @ 10:35am 
Is it possible to add an option to disable the effect this mod has on staats? And maybe add an option to set the min an max size of creatures?
BunnyTheHutt Apr 14, 2022 @ 11:08pm 
Cool idea but it doesn't work. Even on my lowest settings this mod causes huge frame drops. If it's still being worked on I would love if it got fixed but this mod is unusable atm.
Cheese Apr 12, 2022 @ 5:26pm 
Suggestion to allow server owners or single players the ability to configure min and max size. Only because I really, REALLY want pygmy dinos.

great idea, badly executed, terribly optimized, mostly probably in due to the game engine and the way stat application works in-game
Cadence Mar 30, 2022 @ 9:08am 
Good idea, but I had to remove it. Kept causing my game to crash at snapshot.
CJays Mar 24, 2022 @ 9:39pm 
Good idea, but had to remove the mod as it was drastically increasing the cpu usage of my server and causing lag.
Exc_Sanguine_Wes Mar 24, 2022 @ 3:06pm 
How does the stat scaling work with different sizes? I know that if another buff modifies the stat, size seems to override it and kick in first and cause some oddities
Magmalot Mar 20, 2022 @ 6:04pm 
That's sounds like something I'd do
K4Ch0nkyB4by6010  [author] Mar 20, 2022 @ 3:57am 
Yeah I'm in the kit right now and I realise I pulled a massive stupid. I changed how the buff worked and made sure it doesn't apply to tamed or baby creatures. And then I copied that onto the size brew food, so the food currently doesn't do anything aside from cost resources.

Also I checked a tick box to make sure that players can't eat the brew. The update should be out shortly.

As for performance when using this mod I'm not sure how I can fix it. I suppose I could make it how a lower % chance to apply to creatures. It only checks a creature once when it spawns, or when you un-render and re-render it (Which I'm currently trying to fix.)
Magmalot Mar 19, 2022 @ 11:23pm 
@khisanth so far the brew has yet to work but once or twice on a raptor. After that instance, it worked on a fresh tame brachi but only for about 10-15 seconds and randomly reverted to vanilla size and lost the buff. Any other attempt on a different dino, bred, tamed, or transferred doesn't appear to do anything except give a timer between potion feeds.

If the mod author would like to, I'm welcome to invite them onto the server I'm hosting to maybe help troubleshoot the problem more and possibly make the brew more consistent

Suggestion: Config to make Size scale Drag Weight accordingly
khisanth Mar 19, 2022 @ 3:53am 
I really love this mod but my biggest issue with it is the noticeable drop in fps when using this mod in SP. Unsure if it exist with dedicated server.

So it is seems to have a big impact on performance at least on SP (probably because every dino need to have a buff size and that you check each second to see if need to apply the buff?).

Maybe adding an option to have only X% of dino getting a buff could reduce the impact on performance?

Or maybe increase the time between each check to see if need to apply the buff? (if it is currently each second for each dino it make a LOT of computation check to do which could explain the performance impact).
khisanth Mar 19, 2022 @ 1:55am 
@magmalot I think it will be more usefull to solve the issue to list the cases when the brew do not work to help identifying those case and understand why it does not work.
Magmalot Mar 18, 2022 @ 9:23pm 
Will you be working on attempting to get the brew to work the majority of the time in the somewhat near future?
Harshmellow Mar 18, 2022 @ 8:06pm 
TBF it is surprisingly easy to accidentally eat things in Ark lol
ONDIER Mar 18, 2022 @ 3:02pm 
You're supposed to feed it to the baby, not drink it yourself. lol
Toast Mar 18, 2022 @ 6:03am 
It has broke my Ark character if you eat it, it wil break your character and cause it to glitch to death, I just cant go into third person without looking at the hideous glitchy mess behind me, No matter what it is stuck like that I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING
K4Ch0nkyB4by6010  [author] Mar 18, 2022 @ 12:55am 
@Dovah.QUeen Babies won't inherit any size whatsoever. You'll have to feed them the sizebrew to give them a size.

@SirPolkadot If you use the awesome spyglass mod you should be able to tell what size something is. Also small pickupable creatures will lose their altered size when they are picked up, but they will keep their stat changes. Putting them into a soul orb and throwing them out again does fix their size. In most cases soul orbs will fix any size related issues.
Harshmellow Mar 18, 2022 @ 12:51am 
How does this effect bred creatures? Is the baby's size randomly rolled or does the size of the parents have any effect?
SirPolkadot Mar 15, 2022 @ 10:13am 
Is there a way to spawn in certain sizes, or like a minimum size, so I can tell if my really tiny dodos exist?
K4Ch0nkyB4by6010  [author] Mar 13, 2022 @ 10:46pm 
Yeah I did manage to get dino storage to remember the size so that's a good way to save it.
