*DESCRIPTION STILL IS W.I.P*****

Back to old school Ark is a mod is totally based to old original game. What mean that? This mod will restore old kibble taming system, allmost all creatures will be remaped because of changed food preferences. No undestructible armors, tools or weapons, everything is based to the original gameplay. Аs for the creatures, they will be completely original, without changed characteristics, but there will be a few exceptions to make the game more interesting. Аllmost every creature in Ark is not correct sized, so i will try to make them more realistic (based to the game structures and internet info about them) to see how they should look for real. Still there is too many "fantastic" and unreal creatures in Ark, which may stay same size as they are...This time the idea is back the good old time of Ark before all the changes which was maded last few years..

The mod is BETA, because DLC creatures still are not released and are broken now at the source file from Ark Survival Evolved.. Remaped around 160 of all the Ark creatures,which include main and Aberrant versions, Bone and Alpha original creatures. ADDED 2 workbenches (Industrial Cooker and BTOS Workbench) Engrams should be visible without learning at the Industrial Cooker, but the saddles and customised kibbles need to be learned and are craftable at BTOS workbench (smithy)... Added and customised type kibbles for any case if you can't get the eggs for the original kibbles and this kibbles can be crafted with any type of eggs. CREATURES WILL REQUIRE DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF CUSTOMISED KIBBLES, COMPARED WITH THE ORIGINAL KIBBLES!!! ALL KIBBLES RECIPES ARE RESTORED NOW!!! At this moment the mod include 163 from 300+ creatures of the game plus some new addons. Spino, Giga and Trex are so called "Big 3", ARE KO TAMEABLE AND WILL ACCEPT ONLY SPECIFIC KIBBLE, All they uses specs file from original Giganotosaurus with main difference at the health, which mean that Giganotosaurus is totally original, Spino and Trex will have similar specs to him and main difference between them is a DAMAGE. THE MOD DOESN'T INCLUDE OFFICIAL DLC CREATURES ADDONS ON THE SPAWNERS, ONLY UNOFFICIAL MAPS CREATURES ARE ADDED TO SPAWNS, BECAUSE THEY ARE MAIN CREATURES!!! Except that this mod include and some custom dino's (the skins which was added to the game, but was not actual creature created behind this skins) and 2-3 additional dino's too. Here is the list of them:

[list]

[*]- Crichtonsaurus - Ankylo based creature, model is modified by me, smaller than Ankylosaurus

[*]- Tarbosaurus Bataar - old tyrannosaurus rex, little smaller than present Trex

[*]- Velociraptor - old raptor but half sized

Warning there is a few creatures that are not exacly original and they are:

[*]Argentinosaurus (Titanosaurus) - Use specs, simillar to Giganotosaurus, loose specs after taming, but boosted like his original specs, is not dissapear anymore after 24 hours, CAN BE KNOCKED WITH NORMAL TRANQ ITEMS, tameable with saddle and eat only sweet veggie cakes (i think that already eat and veggies and berry, but im not sure), which need to be placed at his inventory. He doesn't eat from feeding though!!! Also can be force feeded with berryes or veggies!!!

[*]Giganotosaurus - uses it's original spec file which mean will be very strong like wild and will loose specs after taming. Normal taming bonuses like all other creatures KO TAMING, ACCEPT ONLY SPINO KIBBLE FOR TAMING

[*]Tyrannosaurus Rex - uses same original file of the GIga, which mean boosted specs when is wild and they will be dropped when is tamed, Normal taming bonuses like all other creatures. Base health of him is less than Giga. ONLY WAY TO BE TAMED IS KO WITH Giganoto KIBBLE!!!

[*]Spinosaurus - uses same as Giga specs with little more basic health, compared with the Giganotosaurus. Loose specs after taming!!! Normal taming bonuses like all other creatures. KO TAMING, ACCEPT ONLY BRACHIOSAURUS KIBBLE

[*]Brachiosaurus - same specs like Giganotosaurus, loose specs after taming, normal KO OR PASSIVE tame method, Normal taming bonuses like all other creatures. ACCEPT ONLY CARCHARODONTOSAURUS KIBBLE!!!
