F.A.Q and helpfull info v 3.9.8 Updated
Here will try to put some frequency asked questions

1.Q: How to set my game for max lvl ......?

- By default all creatures in the mod have 2 times bigger level table than original game. For the different map setup is different because of the actual map level adjustments. Example for THE ISLAND by "Override Official Difficulty" = 1 you will have lvl 60, not 30 like on vanilla game. On The Center has i know max lvl by default is little bigger by difficulity 1. For max lvl 600 of wild dinos on the Island you need to set your difficulity to 10 (i guess) to have desired level, but keep on mind that this is only suggestion. If you use programs like Ark Server Manager there have a setting "MAX WILD DINO LEVEL" or something like this where you can set desired level but on half of your wish because of that 2x biggest level table of my mod. On that settings you need to set lvl to 300 to get max lvl 600!!! But on the mod have creatures wich will be highest lvl than this, because of the map or mod adjustments like wyverns, some bosses, custom creatures and so on.

2. Q: How to unlock Prime Armors or Weapons
- Prime Cloth, Prime Hide and Prime Desert armors are manually unlockable on specific level for the player. All other Prime armors are added to SAVAGE CREATURES wich will unlock them when you kill them. Exception have for Prime Tek Armor and weapons wich parts are unlockable by specific tek creatures (8 tek creatures for 9 prime tek stuffs)
- Savage Carno will unlock Prime Fur Armor - removed engrams from King Kong
- Savage Giga will unlock Prime Metal Armor - removed engrams from Alduin
- Savage Mosa and Savage Tuso will unlock Prime Hazard
- Savage Leedsichthis will unlock Prime Scuba gear, added googles, flippers and pants
- Savage UtahRaptor will unlock Prime Camouflage armor - removed engrams from Lystrix
- Savage Rex will unlock Prime Riot Armor - Removed engrams from Prome
- Savage Megalodon will unlock Prime Chitin Armor - removed engrams from Nahagliiv
- Warden Pieces of armor and weapons will be unlocked from Mega Bosses
- Corrupt Pieces of armor and weapon will be unlocked from Robo Bosses
- Warchief Pieces will be unlocked from Warchiefs
- Knight Tek Armor will be unlocked from World Boss

3.Q: How to use Spawn Items?
- First of all you need to learn them (usually from specific creature), then craft them and consume the spawn item to get the creature, wich is added on this spawn item. Keep on mind that some Spawn Items can be consumed only on foot!!! You can't use them on the mounted dino. Actual process of spawning the Titans and Rockwells keep enought time to can back on your mount and start the fight, but wardens spawn immediatelly (they;re spawn item can be consumed when you ride the creature)

4. Q: How To Evolve Nameless (Reaper) King?

- Go get pregnant from Reaper Queen
- When baby is born you will see at his inventory the engram of Corrupt evolution, but is not reccomended to evolve it before is grown up. You can raise your King to max lvl or evolve it immediatelly.
- Next step of evolution required killing of Mega Reaper King to learn engram and required items for Alpha Evolution
- FInal step is to kill FluffDragon, the Mega Dodoreaper and unlock the Tribute reaper - Psycho's tribute Reaper King wich is the final step of the evolutions (that is added with update 3.9.8)
- All evolutions are setted by same way - craft the item in the inventory and evolution will start automatically once the item is crafted

5. Q: Can i adjust MOD ini settings?
- No, mod doesnt include ini settings. You can only modify your personal game settings

6. Q: Can i disable Alpha/ Legendary Alpha Rex roar?
- No you can't. This roar is original Chain BOLLA lock wich affect everything, wich is lockable by that Chain Bolla. This Roar is designed to block all Flyers attempt to kill easy World Boss or Legendary and Alpha Tyrannosaurus. Can force allmost all flyers to land. Still dont know are is possible to not affect other players and tamed creatures.

7. Can i BREED......?
- Most of the creatures in the mod are not touched on that aspect, so if on original game they are breedable, so and on the mod they are breedable

8.Q: What Baby eat?
- Allmost all creatures on the mod use default food system, so they need to eat this, what they use and on original game. Abouth Uber Bosses (tameable ones) they eat meat and only meat.
Alpha Wyverns baby eat specially created for them food - Alpha Wyvern Milk, wich you can craft or collect from some wyverns and uber dodowyvern if you knock them out. Dragowyverns and Wyverns eat wyvern milk or alpha wyvern milk, dodowyvern too.

9. What is the Silver Treat role on the mod?
- Silver Treat should work on the most of the creatures wich use kibbles, but is designed to be something like universal kibble. Work and on the most of Passive tameable creatures. To force knocked creatures to eat this kibble you need to use METABOLICS

10. Q: How to get Elements? Is there a creature wich produce them on wondering?
- Allmost any type of boss creature on the mod give elements. There is no creature wich produce elements, but some of the custom Tyrannosaurs poop elements or black pearls (Flame, Alpha and Legendary Alpha Rex for sure) but what resource you will get depend from the game because the chance is 50/50

11. Q: Is there a creatures wich produce resources on wondering or passive production?
- Yes on the mod exist few creatures wich can produce for you different type of resources and they are listed on the MOD GUIDE. Go Read it

12. Q: Do the creatures which can be evolved need to be maxed out to can evolve it?
- No, there is no condition wich need to be completed to can evolve your creature. You can evolve it on any moment wich you choose

13. Q: Does the level of the Corrupt Nameless king matter for Alpha Reaper King level?
- YES, but Alpha Reaper King have own level system and specs, so is possible Alpha Reaper to be different lvl from the Corrupt one.

14. Q: Which map is best for Ark Creatures Rebalanced?
- Mod is adjusted to work on 6 from original maps - The Island, The Center, Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Crystal Isles (still have problems there), Valguero and on parts on aberrant/extintion (but is not completed for this maps). Any of this maps have specific adjustments so i can't tell on wich map is best to play this mod. My personal oppinion - The CENTER is the best map for all Creature Type mods.

15. Q: Are this mod work on custom maps like Volcano and so on?
- Well, i think that this mod can work on any single map with different succsess because maps like THE ISLAND AND SCORCHED EARTH (extintion and aberant not so much) have spawners, wich are universal for any map and they are included on any single map. So i think that this mod will work on every map but because of the different biome.zone sizing will have different number of spawn creatures. Some times maybe will be necessery to make own fixes for desired map to get some creatures or to reduce spawn of some wich can be overspawned. But that need to be personal for any server or game

16, How to unlock uber boss saddle?
- Uber saddles can be manually unlocked when you reach required player level. The Improved ones will be unlocked from Mega Bosses

17. What saddle use Dragon/Ghost Dragon?
- All Dragons - Dragon, Ghost Dragon, DragoWyvern and Celestial dragon use 1 and same Saddle - the Dragowyvern saddle

18.How to get egg from the Big predators?

- You need to fight wild female until she goes under specific percentage of health wich is different for every predator and is from 0.01% to 5% of health

19.Q: How do i get Nameless King?
- You need to get pregnant from Reaper Queen. System is like original game, but if you want to get pregnant from your creature saddle - chance is very small. Queens not allways get you from saddles and if you miss the momment you need to wait again for next attempt. Light pets on your shoulder block pregnation (discovered from my game experience)

20.Q: How to spawn Alpha/Legendary Alpha Rex minnions?
- Basic keys are LCTRL+Q. If that doesnt work, because not all keyboards are the same try that : Left Control + that key, wich activate Rex Tek Helmet to fire (on the default that key is Q)

21.Q: How to tame alpha passively?
- VERY EASY ...search at lvl 50 engrams!!!

22.Q: How to get Evolve Tribute?
- Evolve tribute is a resource wich have no engram, so that mean it is a loot from Prime Alpha Creatures. Prime Alpha Dodo doesn't give evolve tributes!!! Same as other resouces wich you not see in the engrams - they are loots from different creatures

23. How to get and use Elemental Magic Extracts?
- Elemental Magic Extracts are ingredient for evolution recipe's!!! They are not a consumable item!!! You can collect them from the Prime elemental big predators, Dodorexy and Drakes or to craft them in the PANDORA BOX

24. How to get random resource.... I dont see them in the engrams?
- If some recipe require item, wich you can't find in the engrams, that mean this item is a loot from some creature. Depend from the item it can be collected from elemental, boss or semi boss creature. Killing them will answeer to your searching.

25. Q: What is the BIG 4?
- The big 4 are actually the largest predators in the mod - Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spinosaurus, Giganotosaurus (the original 3 biggest predators) + Indominus Rex.

26. Q: Are this mod works on .... DLC map ?
- No this mod doesnt work on Genesis 1 or 2, and not work properly to Aberrant and Extinction

27.Q: I have overspawn of .... How to fix this?
- Usually if you have overspawn of some specific creature or few type creatures that mean something is wrong....usually this problem come if you have mod conflict or active game event. Unfortunelly i can't help with Single player adjustments and how to stop active game events, because it looks that just "Disable game event" on your settings is not enought. If this does not allow the problem try to remove all the mods wich you use and place only this mod to test it....Mods like MAP Expansions, Dino scanners/finders (Creature Finder Delux) can do overspawn too, because they mess the mod spawners. Creature Finder Delux DO DYNAMIC SPAWN AT THE POINT WHERE YOU ARE!!!

28.Q: What are Prime armors? What they did?
- First of all Prime armors are undestructible... All Prime Armors except Hazard suit and Prime Scuba have new addons like a buffs wich give you different bonuses :
First of all let me start with health regeneration wich every single piece give to player, wich is different has and armors are different :
-> Prime Cloth armor will restore 1 point health per second - any piece of them (5 points max if you wear full set)
-> Prime Desert Cloth armor will restore 1 point health per second - any piece of them (5 points max if you wear full set)
-> Prime Hide armor will restore 2 point health per second - any piece of them (10 points max if you wear full set)
-> Prime Chitin armor will restore 5 point health per second - any piece of them (25 points max if you wear full set)
-> Prime Camouflage armor will restore 5 point health per second - any piece of them (25 points max if you wear full set)
-> Prime Fur armor will restore 10 point health per second - any piece of them (50 points max if you wear full set)
-> Prime Metal armor will restore 25 point health per second - any piece of them (125 points max if you wear full set)
-> Prime Riot armor will restore 50 point health per second - any piece of them (5 points max if you wear full set)
-> Prime Tek armor will restore 150 point health per second - any piece of them (750 points max if you wear full set)
-> Corrupt Tek armor will restore 300 point health per second - any piece of them (1500 points max if you wear full set)
-> Warden Tek armor will restore 500 point health per second - any piece of them (2500 points max if you wear full set)
->Prome Knight armor will restore 1000 point health per second - any piece of them (5000 points max if you wear full set)
Prime Armors reduce food and water consuming durring regens
Allmost every armor piece have big amouth of stamina regeneration
allmost every armor piece restore -100 torpor damage wich did you allmost impossible to be knocked from most of the creatures
All armors should give you temperature resists, but not sure are is work properly
Prime Tek type armors have bigger bonuses than the normal armors
All boots should protect you from fall damage, but looks like no work on all the armors ( i think hide, cloth and desert cloth doesnt protect you)
Damage resistance??? .... i dont know are they give you damage resistance or just highest number of armor protect you
And next abouth armors - they add to your character specs different percentage boost - stamina, health, speed, crafting speed, weight, fortitude, oxigen....that are the basic boosts wich you actually see when you equip some armor piece and this percentage boost is depend again from the type of armor wich you equip
Abouth the Full Set buffs - only Tek type armors and Prime Hazard have full set buffs wich should give you different type protections, but are they actually work....not sure, because i dont have buff list somewhere to check them in the game,so maybe for all other type armors have no big deal are you wear full set or not and you can mix them
but 1 think i saw - if you mix prime metal helmet with some other armor he doesnt protect you from wyverns poison balls, but if you have all metal armor pieces it protect you

29. Q: Is there a reccomended game settings for this mod?
- No It haven't, because it is a big set of settings and depend from your personal taste.The only important is that PLAYER need to raise level 150 to can learn all the engrams from the mod.. Only can reccomend to check out this:
- Bonus levels for tamed creatures and depend of this number you need to adjust your "Per Level Stat Multiplyer (TAMED) to wished numbers to get satisfied result. Usually on original game Health and Damage are very low - for health is 0.2 and for damage is 0.17 - that is the 2 main settings, from wich depend your hardness. Bonus levels for tamed creatures mean how much levels you can apply to your creatures at his max esperience (maxed out). Usually if nothing is changed on your game they are 75 and at that point your creatures will be too weak to defeat most of the mod bosses. So, check this stuffs and change your settings to desired result. Only that can advice you.

30. Q: I can't unlock Legendary Rex engrams, Prime Alpha Rex not unlock them?
- Legendary rex engrams can be unlocked MANUALLY (on hand) only when you comlete it conditions:
- TO LEARN ALL CELESTIAL ENGRAMS
- YOUR CHARACTER TO BE LEVEL 150
Once you complete that requirements, you can unlock them
How to get DLC artifacts on the maps, which havent them?
- Very easy - all Mega and Robo bosses drops artifacts!!!

31. Q: What are the best settings for this mod?

- Well everything depend of your taste, you need to adjust your settings based to the bonus levels which you use after taming - that is the main setting - at the server where we play we use +200 lvls after taming and for us health and damage bonuses are setted to 1 and is good. Adjust your settings as you like
For player the main setting is to can reach lvl 150 because of the engram requirements
Abouth the Max wild level dinos - i think that the best number is to be 600 because you easy can know what will be the max lvl for wyverns, rock drakes and the big 4 (is easy to calculate). This mod make default wild level to be 2 times higher - so you need to set max lvl 300 for wilds to have 600 at the end. For Big 4 that max lvl will be 750 and for wyverns/rock drakes will be 760. For single player game you need to set your "OverrideOfficialDifficulty" in the GAMEUSERSETTINGS.ini file or directly in the game. For lvl 600 it need to be 10.
Why i reccomend you lvl 600? Because some evolutions in my mod keep all the levels which you put on the evolved creature and because of that if the max lvl is too high you risk to have reseted specs
Abouth the player leveling - whith my mod you will have rockwell spawn no matter at which map are you, so for sure you can get 5 bonus levels from that (no matter which variant of rockwell you will kill only first 5 ascension levels work unfortunelly) + the mod include chibi's too which can be leveled too and from them you can get more 5 levels bonus when you max them

The golden dodo crafts the boss tribute in its inventory when put on wander once every 24 hours. You can craft ancient hide or get it from harvesting alpha and above tier creatures.
The mod guide discussion has more info.

Bravoure Jan 8, 2021 @ 9:47am 
Is there a plan to add Megalanias to the mod dinos since megalania toxin is a required material for making several items? I am playing with AG Reborn on a Valguero server and Valguero does not naturally spawn in this dino.

Kinda strange, if its been removed, cos i am playing with youre mod now, and according to the dodorex i was about to tame, it whanted that boss tribute (yellow color) and the crafting requriments are golden treat. Not sure whats happend there, if its a bug or something, or you need to update youre mod, idk. But i can always try to give it the "regular" boss tribute. Get back to you after i tryed that :steamhappy:
