C Variants Mod Welcome to the C Variants Mod! This mod introduces a series of unique C Variant creatures, adding more diversity to your ARK world. These new variants do not replace any existing creatures but instead spawn alongside their vanilla counterparts, giving you fresh experiences to enjoy. As this is my first mod, I genuinely appreciate your patience and feedback, and I welcome any suggestions or requests for future updates!
I won't be listing what each and every variant changes. It's far more exciting to tame it and find out, like we used to! Enjoy the mod and give me suggestions, I'd love them!
Each C Variant has been crafted to offer something unique without becoming overpowered. For example, the C Quetz has improved speed and weight capacity, and the C Moschops can harvest fiber and berries continuously.
New Features :
Added C Compy Variant. More menacing in the wild and adds some uses as a tame. Added C Procoptodon Variant. Weight reductions for nearly all base materials. Pachy can now put that hard head to good use. Not only strong torpor attacks for knockout, but can now harvest metal! Added spawns to Aberration where their vanilla variants should already spawn. Added Scorched Earth spawns where their vanilla variants should already spawn.
Update 3.6
Introducing Dominants: What are Dominants? Dominants are powerful, Alpha-like creatures but with refined particle effects, and custom loot tables. Dominants have a very low spawn chance (2%, the same as an Alpha Rex).
Added Diplodocus Variant: The C Variant Diplodocus comes with a more aggressive attack, offering new utility and danger in the wild.
Added Dominant Megalodon:
The Dominant Megalodon is a dangerous new addition to the ocean, with a low chance to spawn. Beware of its powerful bite and presence!
Fixed Green Dominant Particles for Servers: Server performance and particle visibility have been improved for the Dominant creatures, including the new green Dominant particles. The Dominant Megalodon is extremely powerful and deadly, adding a new level of challenge to the oceans with its low spawn rate, so proceed with caution!
Spawns and Balance:
All C Variant creatures and Dominants spawn alongside their vanilla versions, maintaining balance and keeping your game immersive. For example, the C Titanoboa now has a vicious knockout bite, making the swamps more dangerous than ever!
To keep this mod minimally intrusive, some spawns have been tweaked. For instance, the C Carno does not spawn near Yutyrannus to avoid unnecessary overlap and potential conflicts with existing Dino data.
Current C Variant Creatures: C BoaFrill C Quetz C Moschops C Carno C Dilo C Pachy C Pachyrhino C Carbo (Turtle) C Saber C Diplo C Compy C Procoptodon
Current Dominant Creatures: Dominant Therizinosaur Dominant Argentavis Dominant Megalodon Dominant Aberrant Spino - Only Spawns on Aberration.
Update 1.4: Spawn Commands: For those who want to summon specific C Variant creatures, use the command:
Cheat Summon "C_Dino_Character_BP_C"
Replace "Dino" with any of the following: Turtle, Dilo, Moschops, Carno, Pachyrhino, Quetz, Pachy, Titanoboa, Saber, Diplodocus.
Update 2.8 - Spawn Adjustments: Reduced some C Carno spawns temporarily for better balance. Made stronger variants slightly rarer for a more balanced experience.
Coming Soon: Custom Textures for the C Variants to visually distinguish them from their vanilla counterparts. Stay tuned!
