Where do bloodstalkers spawn on crystal isles

@Shinygati alright they did look pretty identical so I got the better creatures
Shinygati  [author] Mar 21, 2023 @ 5:17pm 
@Sapphire This mod is just a "pack" of all of my other mods combined into one package, better creatures expands by adding new features, bug fixes and more creatures that won't be updated here.

Just wondering what's the difference between this and https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2936669457

Amazing work , U work really fast , Thank You for the fix
Shinygati  [author] Mar 3, 2023 @ 12:46am 
@MrBeast1107 I managed to find the issue, i'll push out an update shortly.
MrBeast1107 Mar 2, 2023 @ 8:42pm 
I m on the Island Map if that matters
MrBeast1107 Mar 2, 2023 @ 8:40pm 
Yup Cryoed and un-cryoed , Restarted the map , tried with soul ball as well . Tried summoning a fresh tamed r-giga as well , Nothing works . But normal gigas have all the buff , the bleed , 700 Stam , Prevent Rage . But not the R-Gigas
Shinygati  [author] Mar 2, 2023 @ 11:18am 
@MrBeast1107 They seem to work fine, have you tried to uncryo?
MrBeast1107 Mar 2, 2023 @ 9:24am 
The Better Giga Buff is not seem to be working with R-Gigas . Normal ones work fine.
Shinygati  [author] Feb 26, 2023 @ 7:39pm 
The gacha issue should be fixed, if there's a problem with them it would be because they were spawned prior to the update

Hey, just coming here to confirm the Gacha issue xD As in, their buff only gets applied on server restart if the Gacha is in the world and tamed.
Another thing, will you add your Voidwyrm fix to this mod? Would really appreciate it, love your changes and fixes :o
MrBeast1107 Feb 21, 2023 @ 6:37pm 
Thank you , really great mod and support from you
Shinygati  [author] Feb 21, 2023 @ 3:25pm 
I've been able to sucessfully reproduce the issue by restarting the game while gacha's are spawned, i'll look into this and see what i can do
MrBeast1107 Feb 21, 2023 @ 10:36am 
I also tried a restart after resetting the production, the buff gets applied again
MrBeast1107 Feb 21, 2023 @ 10:32am 
After some testing, It seems like restart of world triggers the buff for a little amount of time even if its set to false. And when I cryo and release it , the resources on current page it getting set as default . I tried by changing the current page to rare , Same things happen, that is, rare resource page gets set as default.
MrBeast1107 Feb 21, 2023 @ 8:44am 
Thank you for looking into that . I will try reinstalling the mod and check it again
Shinygati  [author] Feb 20, 2023 @ 3:44pm 
I've added a note just in case people have similar problems but there's not much more i can do, i could technically add a fix but that fix won't work if they get cryo'd.
Shinygati  [author] Feb 20, 2023 @ 3:41pm 
The only thing i can find is that the gacha's will have the same resources from the currently active resource tab such as common or rare but only if the mod is installed and gachas enabled from the start, then later disabled for the gacha without first resetting their production from the radial wheel.
Shinygati  [author] Feb 20, 2023 @ 3:30pm 
@MrBeast1107 I have not been able to reproduce that, Gacha's seem to be working fine, they are set to False when launching and the buff is not even applied to them, i did what you mentioned and cryopodded them and they still have the same exact 6 resources.
MrBeast1107 Feb 20, 2023 @ 3:56am 
Gacha seem to be bugged . I set it to off from the start . When I cryoed and released them their production menu got bugged . All gachas produce same 8 resources (Sand, Raw salt, green gem, fiber, flint, stone, thatch, corrupted wood ) . They r supposed to have 6 resources right ? I removed the mod and the new gachas seemed to working good but the old ones have those 8 resources fixed . Lost all my resource gachas 🥲
Shinygati  [author] Feb 15, 2023 @ 8:20am 
@Celestethemini This mod won't exactly be getting updated with anything new, i'll still fix any bugs/issues but instead feel free to check out my bigger mod Better Creatures this will be including pretty much everything plus so much more.
Celestethemini Feb 15, 2023 @ 7:58am 
Would it be possible to include the other improved dinos in this mod? I love using this mod in particular, but I also enjoy the other improvements made on the other dinos, but hate having to use multiple mods.
JwLpY Feb 10, 2023 @ 9:48am 
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, when using the searing shot, all of my magmasaurs food gets depleted. Is that normal or should it only be 5?
Shinygati  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 4:37pm 
There is no limit that i know of, i just tried setting the smelting speed to 50 and it was working just fine.
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 2:23pm 
Btw is there a certain limit to the ini setting for the magmasaurs bc I tried putting the smelting speed to 50 for super fast and that seemed to cause the crash again so ive kept all the number values for all the ini setting to the default amount
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 2:21pm 
I'm a bit confused then bc I've been running the preventhibernation command bc of the fact that one day no dinos were spawning when i was still new to this game, the crashes only stopped when i added the respawn dinos command on
Shinygati  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 2:00pm 
Since the -forcerespawndinos command seemed to have fixed it for you i'm almost sure this is the single player bug that can sometimes happen when certain mods scan your game on load to make changes or apply buffs to creatures that are not near the player, it happens because alot of creatures are in hibernation and it's a limitation with singleplayer so the only thing you can really do in the future is run the -forcerespawndinos command again or if your computer can hande it you can permanently use the command -preventhibernation to solve the issue completely.
Shinygati  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 1:51pm 
Anything that doesn't make changes to the same creatures that is in this mod should be ok, even then it might still work but i just can't guarantee compatibility.
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 1:48pm 
And just one last thing, would a spawner mod that allows dinos from other maps to spawn on others cause a conflict with this mod? or will it be okay?
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 1:46pm 
Okay so I put the "-forcerespawndinos" launch option in and that's for some reason fixed the crashing issues, I have no idea why but I'm very thankful bc that was really annoying and this mod does add some very nice features
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 1:40pm 
well it crashed when i had solo farm mod on and i took that off and tested to see if it crashed when i had it by itself and it never crashed, i then tried with a stacksize mod on and it worked fine. Then I put awesome spyglass on and that made the game crash, so i have no idea what could be causing the crashes. I did have the shadowmane mod downloaded but i fully deleted the mod after getting this and it still causes crashes
Shinygati  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 1:36pm 
@Sir Pinky III Are you certain that the other mods you're trying doesn't make any changes to the same creatures that this one has? I can't say I have any issues with crashing and I have this running alongside 40 other mods, what you could try is launching the game with a dino wipe to see if that helps using the launch argument -ForceRespawnDinos
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 1:30pm 
Do you have any idea what could be causing the conflict?
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 10:38am 
So ive just tested and from the looks of it, this mod only works with a stack size mod, any other mod causes the game to crash
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 10:16am 
Would the solo farm mod conflict with this mod? bc that's the only mod I had on that affected dinos before putting this mod on
Shinygati  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 10:14am 
@Sir Pinky III If you have any mods that makes changes to creatures in this pack then there's a chance that both mods will not play nice together, so even though you found this mod to stop the crashing when you remove it, it's most likely a mod compatibility issue, i can't say that i've had any problems so check to make sure that nothing is conflicting.
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 10:02am 
Alright after taking a break and slowly going through to see what mod was causing the crash, I'm sad to say that its this mod that's causing the crash to happen,can this mod conflict with any mods?
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 5:57am 
I would but since mods I don't even have installed anymore could be causing crashes its a little tricky currently
Shinygati  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 5:47am 
You could try another map i suppose, but i would start by removing mods one by one until you can figure out what is causing the crashing.
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 5:45am 
Also unrelated bc I am still quite new to this game but is Fjordur quite known to have crashes when loading into that map? bc it only just started happening for me and now that I've looked it up it seems to be a common problem
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 5:33am 
Well that;s the thing when i verified the game files and loaded in a mod i didnt even have enabled anymore was for some reason being in use again and when i redownloaded the mod it went into active mods. so i might just have to fully delete the mod cache and redownload all the mods i have to see if that fixes things
Shinygati  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 5:28am 
@Sir Pinky III In that case there should not be any issues with crashing, have you tried removing any mods to see if the crashes stops?
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 5:25am 
The only mods I've installed since having this installed is your dino armour pack. I don't know if that is having any issues for others but im a little stumped. Its also confusing that when the game crashes and i verify files it keeps saying 2 files were reacquired. It's just a whole mess rn
Shinygati  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 5:05am 
@Sir Pink III having all the options enabled won't cause any crashes, but if you have any of the mods from this pack as individual mods still installed that could be causing issues.
JwLpY Feb 9, 2023 @ 3:45am 
That could be the cause of the crashes then bc I didnt know if i needed to do it or not so i have every ini option in my settings which could be causing some problems when loading into worlds
Shinygati  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 2:51am 
@Sir Pinky III it should be created automatically, as for the crashes it can be any number of mods, just keep removing them one by one until the crashes stops, also make sure that you are not using any of the individual mods that is included in this pack.
JwLpY Feb 8, 2023 @ 3:38pm 
with this mod, do you have to add the ini options for the individual mods or do you not have you not have to worry about adding each one in? also i dont know if its this mod or another one of your mods i downloaded but currently everytime i want to load up a game the game crashes
MrBeast1107 Jan 30, 2023 @ 10:20pm 
Yeah , just tested it without the mod , it does the same thing. Thank you for the fast reply
