This mod should work on any map dude, this mod just changes food preferences of the Ark creatures, add kibbles which basicly are the old kibbles and only the big predators have changes on them, so need to work everywhere

Good morning, I would like to know if this mod works with the old island modded map
Tankyou for the mod

Thank you for all your post @Flying V Martin, i will try to fix this problems. Honestly, i don't even knowed abouth the 2 legs abillity of the Iguanodon, (because i never used iguanodon for something except the eggs) and i am not sure are i can fix that problem, but will try. Has for the other problems, they will be fixed. And by the way i dont know are the BTOS appear in dino finder, check out with Tek Transmitter what are their name ends. Abouth the creatures which you mentioned to appear on the Island, you need and expansion, because on this mod are added only the main creatures without the wyverns from all maps but that not include DLC creatures...Thank you again... will take a look as soon is possible to fix this problems

Part 2
There are some glitches as far as I found:
-When you change Iguanodon to stand on two legs from four legs or on four legs to two legs, it can't move. I have to dismount and mount it again so it can move and if I change it again, it can't move again. On two legs, when you press shift to run, it's slower than walking on two legs.
-It shows on Awesome Spyglass that Tarbosaurus (Old model Rex) prefer Pulmonoscorpius Egg Kibble like Rex. But when I feed it, it's unmatched kibble. So, I don't know which kibble it really needs.
-This one is not much a problem. Your new Ankylosaurus model is bigger and flatter than original, but when I mount it, the position I sit is still like on old model's back which mean player on its back float a bit.

All in all, keep on working. I'm sure this mod will get five stars soon when everything is fixed. And I will share this mod to everyone and my friends.

Part 1
Thank you, I always keep looking for someone who will make mod about accurate dinos besides Resize My Dino mod and Realism Plus mod. And maybe it's a luck I found this one.

At first, I use Infinity Pill from Resize My Dino mod, but it only down or up size by 0.25 per step so it's not much accurate. Your resizing really fills this gap.

The most part I like is now I can ride real size Dilophosaurus with saddle, maybe you can remove frill to make it more real.

The mod works with many dinos, but some in your list are still not the modulated ones [Don't have BTOS after the name on Dino Finder and appearances are like default official ones even after destroying wild dinos (Not creatures you already said you didn't change sizes for keeping ability to ride)]. And some creatures like Tropeognathus, Amargasaurus and Deinonychus don't exist on Island map like Reaper, Wyvern, Magmasaur etc. (I already subscribed your DLC expansion).

Kromar the mod is released for ASA but without DLC expansions, because this creatures still not exist in the program and are broken on ASA. I can't tell how this mod works on ASA because i haven't that game and not think to buy it at this moment, so you can help me with tests there if you want. But better join in the discord channel to contact with me. Link for discord you can find at my Ark Creatures Rebalanced (AG Reborn) mod description
Kromar Nov 16, 2023 @ 6:26am 
hi there it finally works to test I didn't connect the cooker to the water I had just put a jar of water so now it still works a big thank you for your help you have just made me happy and now I 'wait who works on the ascended to really be in paradise :D
mitko_p81  [author] Nov 15, 2023 @ 10:15pm 
Kromar kibbles was never learnable recipes, they are auto craftable items, just put required resources, turn on the BTOS industrial cooker and wait And to be sure that everything will work you need to connect Industrial Cooker with WATER!!! Every original kibble, no matter old or new require water to be crafted
Kromar Nov 15, 2023 @ 1:47pm 
hi I tried everything my all the engrams of the cook lvl 50 are in yellow and its request to learn them except that I learned everything I therefore think that there is a problem somewhere I prefer to report the problem in case or there you go
mitko_p81  [author] Nov 15, 2023 @ 6:59am 
I am sure that you know how to see engrams inside of the cooker without to learn something? you know there is a 3 buttons at upper right corner at allmost every structure where you can enable/disable folders and to see all engrams. Just turn on to see engrams and pull the required resources for the kibble which you want to craft. that is all
Kromar Nov 14, 2023 @ 3:35am 
I just put the cooker on and it tells me to learn the engrams to make the croquettes and I'm lvl 95 I think I don't understand something
Kromar Nov 14, 2023 @ 3:10am 
thank you I found it I hadn't been that far so now I'll be able to have the time of my life thank you on the other hand I wanted to test your mod on ascended my as soon as I put it in my mod its crashes my games there you go again Thank you for your reply
mitko_p81  [author] Nov 13, 2023 @ 10:31am 
Well Kromar don't use customised kibbles then, use Industrial cooker to craft kibbles if you think that you will get all the required eggs. In the cooker are added the original kibbles with their original recipes
Kromar Nov 12, 2023 @ 12:45pm 
hi sorry my google trad otherwise yes you understand me after personally I have never had any problems with the eggs especially with the collectors it's really easy to have them and therefore no need for a vivarium my you need a big farm and a lot of playing time, I don't know how to make a mod and frankly I'm looking for a mod like this or its the real kibble system and even if it means inventing one for the new creature my yes sleeping egg to make the ptera kibble and so on its my dream on ark ascended ^^
mitko_p81  [author] Nov 12, 2023 @ 6:01am 
@Kromar i didn't understand your comment at all, but i suspect for what you speak - dude, during my personal tests i saw that most of the dino's doesnt lay eggs if you not put them in VIVARIUM, but vivarium is late game stage structure and because of that i did customised kibbles, which can be crafted with any type of eggs like backup variant of the original kibbles. Don't understand that idea wrong - spend some time in the game with the mod and you will see allone for what i speak. And allways i can remove the customised kibbles, but i did that to help the players.
Kromar Nov 10, 2023 @ 4:46pm 
hi I was excited when I saw your mod because I finally thought about a mod with old-fashioned kibbles, but once I use it, with sleeping eggs we can craft all the kibbles and that's what I I find it a shame it would have been perfect if with sleeping eggs you would have done the kibble for ptera simply I saw that you were doing the same mod for asa I hope you will respect that at this time thank you
mitko_p81  [author] Oct 22, 2023 @ 3:56am 
@CysGod you want it - you have it - i started to make real size dinosaurs of Ark but is not released here. If you want to see them, go on the test version of the mod - you can see there which creautes are already resized at the last update notes. I want to be sure that all creatures works before to release them officially, so any help will be usefull too with tests
Zenthora Oct 9, 2023 @ 11:40am 
oh, if it's risky it can stay same. It will not worth to break whole mod
mitko_p81  [author] Oct 9, 2023 @ 7:32am 
@GysGod you are indeed right, if we accept Ark Walls like 1,5m tall, because player is little taller than them, (because player is not 1.8m for sure) and foundations to be 2x2 metters looks like Trex is something like 5m tall and around 14m long which is not correct, but here have and restrictions abouth mesh sizes and how they works. I can reduce his size, but that mean to reduce every other creature size too, but for some of them haven't correct info....So i agree - you are right, but are it worts to resize every single creature in Ark - that have hidden traps and may broke some of the creatures. I dont know are that risk will worts....
Zenthora Oct 8, 2023 @ 9:04am 
That's not that hard. If I consider ark human 1,8 meters, Ark Rex is like 4 and a half human tall (1,8x4)+0,9=8,1 meters height. And yes I spawned both vanilla and mdded rexes, they are same no changes. If I say Ark Giga is like 2x of Ark Rex, its 16 meters height. You can also check web for calculations. Dont get me wrong, Im not trying to make bad comment, just saying they are incorrect size with their irl species.
mitko_p81  [author] Oct 8, 2023 @ 8:38am 
Are you hear yourself? Trex double sized? And how you measure that? By your measurment original Giga how much metters was tall and long?
Zenthora Oct 8, 2023 @ 5:43am 
I was just looking for a mod that makes almost every creature on it's in real life sizes. Your mod was one of them made it correct (except some creatures became oversized like sarco)
Zenthora Oct 8, 2023 @ 5:40am 
Irl Tyrannosaurus size is 3,5-4 meters height and 12-13 meters lenght. Modded Tyrannosaurus is almost double of it's size (and I checked, modded and vanilla rex are same sized). I was talking about this. Also I know about Carcha and I figured out it uses it's vanilla speed.
mitko_p81  [author] Oct 8, 2023 @ 4:40am 
@GysGod start reading little and check out the creature size before to comment. Carcha is absolutelly vanilla and that speed is by default, is not modified. Plus if you used Carcha in your gameplay will know that carcha got a buff when kill something that increase his speed too. Trex is actual size because is real, Spino size is little increased, Giga and Carcha size are reduced because was too big.
Zenthora Oct 8, 2023 @ 2:37am 
Rex, giga, spino and carcha sizes are wong. Rex and spino are still vanilla sized, giga and carcha are vanilla rex sized (still too large for in real life species). Also I noticed that carcha is too fast that almost flied from mountain
mitko_p81  [author] Oct 8, 2023 @ 12:47am 
CysGod basicly the mod is vanilla and is realistic. The only difference is that here is not only 1 creature like Giga, but 6 and 4 of them can be tamed only with specific kibble. What is the difference?
Zenthora Oct 7, 2023 @ 3:57pm 
realistic sized rex, spino etc. and vanilla kibble system was better. I was looking for fully completed realism mod but I guess I'm not gonna find it.
htdang12 Sep 24, 2023 @ 6:21am 
Nice. Looking forward to this.

Thanks.
mitko_p81  [author] Sep 23, 2023 @ 10:25am 
By the way i hope to make you to make again your dino farms and to remind you that good old time, because that is the idea. I uses all my experience on the years and members to try to bring back this old good time. I am nostalgic too and want to remember that time.
mitko_p81  [author] Sep 23, 2023 @ 10:06am 
Willmac basicly the mod is ready for playing, is just not finished yet and not everything is tested, but you can play it if you want it
Willmac Sep 23, 2023 @ 6:22am 
When will this mod be playable? I have been searching for years for something like this.... You will be nothing short of a god to me if this brings me back to my dino farms and actually needing to tame all the dinos...
mitko_p81  [author] Sep 13, 2023 @ 5:59am 
Thank you, TBF, for this words, i hope i near future to can complete this mod and this idea and to justify your trust on me. And i will expect to see you playing with this mod when is ready
tbfgaming Sep 12, 2023 @ 1:00pm 
Absolutely awesome! With the work Mitko_p81 has done on his other mod I know this will be excellent! Look forward to the work!!!!
