Cataclysm 2.0 is a reboot of the original Cataclysm mod (which is EOL and is no longer being updated)

Alpha Stage - 100% Playable Play on Max Level 300

Cataclysm is a Dino overhaul mod with influence from our favorite Ark Dino mods of past and present. It’s the end of the world as an apocalypse has overtaken Ark, forcing only the strongest creatures to survive and thrive. Kibble and Tier based overhaul with Boss Challenges every 4 tiers. Mod involves killing and breeding for resources.

This overhaul starts off moderately difficult (Dodos do not hunt you down) - a great first kibble tamer overhaul. But be warned... later tiers become much harder and more of a grind.

Supports all latest DLC creatures in the mod already - Just make sure you have DLC enabled to use them! 345+ Tameable Creatures currently in the mod - 300+ more planned
