my max dragons are lower after mod :-(

@Calamity_Ashe- Thanks for the suggestion. I've updated the title :)

You should totally amend the name of the mod to inform people of this mod being pointless so that people looking only at their mods list and not at the steam page for every mod they have can see it.

hmm interesting thanks!!! need any ideals??? anyone working on a primitive survival mod? its hard to find one these days

I mean, not much has changed on my part. It's been a while since I updated or released any mods anyway. I actually do have a separate mod for the wyvern milk if you're interested. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=819857895

at least keep a mod for the milk substitute

Any future plans? got any more ideals? hate to see you go

Thank you. For a tiny mod I made on a whim for a server-mate, I'm pleasantly surprised at how many people enjoyed it.

On behalf of my server & clan i'd like to thank you for your work on these mods! As you have made a note at the top of your description we will uninstall your mod but we still wanted to thank you for your time and effort - if gave us lots of fun and pleasure to play :)
Thank you to give us the ability to play like we wanted to, years in advance before WC finally gave us the option! You're the real MVP here :)

you're the real MVP xandermud

@Reaper Queen- No, I will not delete the mod. Not right away at least. There are nearly 80k people subscribed to the mod. If I were to delete it, any wyverns stored in cryo pods or in the obelisk would get corrupted without the mod installed. I want people to be able to release their wyverns before removing the mod, even several months down the line. I have no plans to delete it at this time.

The mod is very cool, but what will you do when the patch comes out (and it will be tomorrow) with the improvement of Wyverns, which will allow them to breed? Will you delete the mod?

Classic Flyers isn't my mod, so I can only help so much. Firstly, since you posted the question to this mod page, I want to make sure that you are, in fact, using the mod titled "Classic Flyers". If so, make sure you are NOT using my mod "Wyvern Mating" as they are not compatible. Also, make sure you are putting those two lines at the bottom of the file "GameUserSettings.ini". Also note that the location of that file is different for single player than it is for a server. Beyond that, I wouldn't know how to help. You'd have to ask over on the mod page for Classic Flyers.

[ClassicFlyers]
AllowWyvernBreeding=1

Ist not working for me.

Also, thank you KingOfFriedChicken for being so helpful in the comments. I feel like you might have answered more questions than I did. You were certainly more timely than me in answering most of the time. I appreciate it.

I'm happy people found it helpful. It was just a little mod someone on my server had mentioned would be nice to have. I'm still a little surprised it has as many subscribers as it does.

I'd like to extend my thanks as well. This has made my Ark experience so much more enjoyable, and it's neat to see that the devs are making it official. I'll have to make sure I plonk all of my Wyverns out into their eyrie instead of keeping them in 'pods before the update.

It was a good run! lol

Yes, since that's all this mod really does it will be effectively useless once wyverns are able to breed by default.

Is this mod useless now? Since you are going to be able to breed them soon?

Thought so, maybe it would be good to add it as a warning: before uninstalling the mod ensure to download all the wyverns stored in the obelisk. The issue is definitely fixable but not in an easy user-friendly way.

Not that I'm aware of. Basically, in order to change how they behave, I had to make a copy of the wyvern creature and replace the vanilla version with the new one. When removing the mod the game automatically switches them back as long as I didn't rename the wyvern files in my mod. However, the game still looks for the modded version when you pull it out of the obelisk or cryo pod, which wouldn't exist if you removed the mod.

I uploaded a wyvern to the obelisc, uninstalled this mod and then my wyvern was not downloadable anymore. My PlayerLocalData.arkprofile got corrupted and I had to manually fix it to recover my wyverns. Any way to prevent this from happening?

Yerp. I remembered I had a fifth, lower-levelled Fire Wyvern parked at a friend's compound outside of a cryopod, and she is indeed breedable. I just need to be patient.

I've noticed, at least with the Ice Wyverns (on Valguero, on a dedicated server), that they don't initially convert to breedable types. Only Wyverns that are extant in the world as creatures - not stored in CrossARK or Cryopods - will convert to the breedable sort after a server restart. Keeping your wyverns in pods will not convert them, which is admittedly a bit annoying.

At the time of writing, though, I have two Fire Wyverns that hatched and grew up during the time the mod was installed and have yet to become breedable, but they were eggs that possibly existed before the mod was added, and I have had to use pods somewhat regularly in order to feed/imprint them on a more sane schedule. I'll leave them unpodded and cross fingers as to whether they'll convert later.

Awesome! Thanks for the swift answer! And the mod. :)

Both

By mutations, does that mean there are color mutations too, or just stat mutations?

Just checked out the mod description. It claims to only place the spawn entry containers and nests and doesn't affect the wyverns. That means they should work just fine together.

Has anyone tested this with AG wyverns? Thanks

@Vokurcicka - Crystal wyverns can breed by default, no mod needed.

@Xandermud, do you have a rock drake variant of this mod? As this is the only wyvern breeding oen which doesn't delete the wyvern when you uninstall this mod.

@Xandermud Thank you

@Paceb- This mod is incompatible with Classic Flyers (and any mod that edits the wyverns). However, there is an ini setting you can add for Classic Flyers to enable wyvern breeding iirc (meaning you wouldn't need this mod). Check CF's mod page and/or discussions to find out exactly what you need to add to your ini files, as I don't remember what it is off the top of my head.

The Mod is installed along with classic flyers, does this prevent the wyvern mating from working? or is there something that I am missing?

@amunsul- Some. I got a mod working in the dev kit and uploaded it as private to steam. It isn't working correctly in-game though. My biggest issue is that the dev kit takes roughly 25 minutes to boot up, and even after switching it to a SSD and increasing my pagefile, it still takes forever. On top of that, about half the time runs out of memory and windows force-closes it after making me wait nearly half an hour. Sometimes it does this during the boot-up while "discovering assets". Other times it "crashes" during the cooking process which is the last step before uploading it. I am still working on it, but I need to make some time where I can just wrestle with the dev kit for a while.

Bastian - The mod works because it allows breeding, Even on a map that doesnt have wyverns they can be imported from maps that they can spawn. SO you can import a fire wyvern (if your settings allow flyers) into abberation and from scorched earth then breed it.

If you add a mod that spawns in Wyverns it is almost certainly incompatible with breeding as they both use the wyvern files. You would have to try to find out though.

@KingOfFriedChicken He can work with other wyvern mod? Bcs it's stupid to work on aberration if the wyverns can't spawn..

@Xandermud: Any progress on integrating ice wyverns into this mod now that the blueprint issue has been resolved by wildcard?

@Bastian- KingOfFriedChicken is correct. When I say they spawn on all DLCs and most maps, I'm referring to the ones that already spawn wyverns. This mod will not enable spawns on maps that didn't already spawn wyverns. (Eg. Aberration will *not* spawn wyverns by adding this mod.) Just want to be as clear as possible. If, however, you transfer wyverns from a map that has them to one that doesn't, they will be able to breed.

@Xandermud- Okay thx

Bastian _ spawn? no this mod wont make wyverns spawn. So a map without wyverns like aberration will not have spawning wyverns with this mod.

Will the mod work on all DLCs? yes it will i have used it on all the paid DLC including aberration if you allow flyers into that map with settings (Never played the free maps personally)

@Bastian- The wyverns will spawn on all official DLCs, yes. They will also most likely spawn on unofficial modded maps, depending on how the map maker handles the spawning.

The wyverns can spawn on all DLC?

@JojoPan- I think this is an issue that can crop up anytime a spawn container is changed. It isn't unique to this mod, nor is it unique to mods in general iirc. I believe if you change the spawn containers via ini files (which you can do in vanilla) you can also cause this to happen. I don't personally know of a fix. It only happened to me once, and it was with someone else's mod. At the time, I just removed the offending mod and cut my losses. It has been quite a while since I've played ark, so it's possible a google search might reveal a workaround or fix, but I don't know of one. You can try using commands to wipe all the wild dinos and hope they don't respawn in large numbers again. Sorry, wish I had more for ya.

@Bones - Yes, this mod should spawn the alpha wyverns. I've known other mods to prevent their spawning, but I made sure that this mod didn't prevent them. On the technical side, there are two ways I know of to replace spawns. You can use the "replace npc" option in the dev kit that will find all spawn containers that spawn the specified creature(s) and automatically replace them with your custom creature. The vanilla wyvern spawn container only has 3 entries, one for each wyvern type (fire, poison, and lightning). The entry for the fire wyvern has a condition where a small percent of the time, it will spawn an alpha instead of a normal wyvern. When you use "replace npc" it replaces the fire wyvern entry, but doesn't keep the % chance of an alpha. Instead, I've made a copy of the spawn container that does have the alpha spawning, and just replaced the spawn container myself.

tl;dr- The spawn chance of alphas with my mod should be identical to the vanilla spawn chance.

JojoPan, have you installed anything other than this mod? if yes, which one(s)?

I have this Mod running on Valguero and on Ragnarok, Valguero is all fine but on Ragnarok there is like 200 Wyverns in the trench. How can I fix this overspawning?

@Bones, i've seen alpha wyverns, two already after installing the mod on my server

Has anyone had no Alpha Wyverns spawning with this mod? I've only ever seen 1 previously, then my server added this mod and rare sightings so I think one might've removed them. I've got a SS transmitter so I can see all spawns on the map and done a decent amount of wipes to test.
