please make a config
Skul360 Oct 30, 2023 @ 9:30am 
is there an ini config to add more variants to add support for modded creatures?

You absolutely saved my day, I wanted to tame a Rhyniognatha and unfortunately Tamed and Maxed Tek Rexes, which cannot be impregnated by this stupid bug. Thanks to you, I don't have to waster another 10 hours of my life to tame a Rex army :)

What power source does it require? generator or tek generator? Also the aoe with adjustable radius would be very nice

@LCyfer44 Make sure you are clicking on the cryopod first
LCyfer44 Dec 28, 2022 @ 2:09pm 
does not seem to be working tried it on a wild caught raptor and it did not to it

insane modsssss

@Shinygati they are exactly the same as vanilla dinos. However, they can have movement speed leveled and instead of the dino ending in BP they end in PE. With the JPs server tweak mod not being updated in two years I am trying to find a solution for our server that would not involve wiping years of breeding projects.
Shinygati  [author] Aug 11, 2022 @ 8:08pm 
@RagingBrainer if they're not modded creatures then they should work.
RagingBrainer Aug 11, 2022 @ 7:47pm 
Would this convert dinos from JPs server tweaks to a vanilla variant?
Aneiphox Jul 16, 2022 @ 7:58pm 
@Shinygati Okay Thank you :)
Shinygati  [author] Jul 16, 2022 @ 7:01pm 
@Aneiphox Unfortunately no, not unless Dino storage V2 becomes open source I can't do anything to support them.
Aneiphox Jul 16, 2022 @ 6:25pm 
Awesome mod Thanks. Question is it possible to use soul traps from the dino storage mod v2 instead of the cryopod?
DizzyFlyer Jul 12, 2022 @ 5:41am 
@shinygati thanks for answering, though, much appreciated!
Shinygati  [author] Jul 9, 2022 @ 7:56am 
@DizzyFlyer Unfortunately no, supporting modded creatures is a bit complicated and cannot be properly tested, if there's too many differences between variants for example your game could crash when trying to uncryo.
DizzyFlyer Jul 9, 2022 @ 4:29am 
Is this compatible with modded creatures that have Tek, Abberant, X, and R variants like those of Prehistoric Beasts, Giga's Fancy Variants, or Zytharian Critters?
TheUniqueRaptor Jul 3, 2022 @ 7:41am 
@Shinygati okay, I'm sorry for the trouble
Shinygati  [author] Jul 2, 2022 @ 11:53pm 
@The Rmpaging Raptor YT This mod doesn't add new creatures, if a creature doesn't have an aberrant variant then it will not work, out of what you listed only the doedicurus has an aberrant form and it appears to be working fine for me, make sure you place the cryopod in the inventory first and then click on the cryopod before trying to convert it.
TheUniqueRaptor Jul 1, 2022 @ 1:02pm 
@Shinygati I tried to convert the default Doedicurus, Theri, and Bronto to Abberant variants
Shinygati  [author] Jul 1, 2022 @ 10:34am 
@The Rampaging Raptor YT That doesn't give me much info, I need to know which creature you're trying to convert to/from.
TheUniqueRaptor Jul 1, 2022 @ 9:58am 
@Shinygati The creature I'm trying to convert is default/vanilla.
I'm on singleplayer.
Shinygati  [author] Jun 30, 2022 @ 9:40pm 
@The Rampaging Raptor YT what creature variant are you using and trying to convert to and are you on a server?
TheUniqueRaptor Jun 30, 2022 @ 9:28pm 
I'm having an issue "Not a valid creature or Cryopod is empty"
I'm on Fjordur and don't have tek stuff unlocked, could that cause any issues?
Hawk Jun 27, 2022 @ 8:29pm 
Should just be the standard variant tamed on the Island
Shinygati  [author] Jun 27, 2022 @ 7:55pm 
@Hawk what spino is it? i'm not having any issues converting it to it's abb variant.
Hawk Jun 27, 2022 @ 6:55pm 
I am
Shinygati  [author] Jun 27, 2022 @ 5:40pm 
@Hawk Are you clicking on the cryopod before hitting the option?
Hawk Jun 27, 2022 @ 2:19pm 
Having an issue while trying to turn my Spino into its abberant variant where it just says 'Not a valid creature or Cryopod is empty'
Shadowstalker Jun 25, 2022 @ 3:27am 
Maybe do it with primal fear dinos?
Sandpuppy Mar 28, 2022 @ 4:13pm 
Any chance for support for modded dinos? Ark Additions, Prehistoric Beasts, Additional Creatures, etc., all have AB, X, R, and TEK versions of many of their creatures.
Shinygati  [author] Mar 17, 2022 @ 1:17pm 
@TheKcChief58 You probably have the old converter and may need to pick it up from the radial wheel and place it down again.
TheKcChief58 Mar 17, 2022 @ 12:58pm 
Hello I have this mod but it wont let me put my cryopods into the converter at all any tips?
Shinygati  [author] Mar 11, 2022 @ 4:45am 
@Rumina You can use the tek dino converter to turn them back to vanilla.
Rumina Mar 11, 2022 @ 4:34am 
Can you add an option to reverse dinos back to vanilla? Love the mod and it works great!
Miss_Luna Mar 8, 2022 @ 3:48pm 
it would be a good idea to add that option to transform the nearby dinos so then you won't need to use the cryopods and having cryo sickness everytime
Shinygati  [author] Mar 8, 2022 @ 1:24pm 
Well it seems to have moved to another structure after looking into it, either way it shouldn't matter as it's not my intention to copy or replace it from S+ or SS but having the option to use cryopods is a nice benefit rather than always requiring to have dino's out or fuel it with element every time.
Shinygati  [author] Mar 8, 2022 @ 1:17pm 
@Hulk Chevy and? i could be wrong but last i checked S+ removed the feature and its a standalone mod that does not require having SS or S+ installed.
Hulk Chevy Mar 8, 2022 @ 12:19pm 
sooo this is wat the mutator in ss and s+ already does ... except it does aoe... js
Shinygati  [author] Mar 7, 2022 @ 10:55pm 
@Miss_Luna i'm glad you're enjoying it, but unfortunately unless the dino storage mod was open source there is nothing i can do to support it.

I have been thinking of adding something in the future that would just look for nearby dino's in an adjustable radius that would convert them that way rather than just relying on cryopods, and i could even add corrupted and VR dino's to the list as well if they can be tested without causing any issues since they technically aren't supposed to be tamable.
Miss_Luna Mar 7, 2022 @ 7:28pm 
i love the idea !!! the only thing i wish it's that it would be compatible with dino storage :p
