Ez's Dino Variants (Cross-Platform)

Ez's Dino Variants introduces unique legacy, magma, swamp, cave, and arctic creature variations featuring classic ARK: Survival Evolved color sets and distinct stat multipliers. It is designed to work seamlessly out of the box on any map that spawns vanilla dinosaurs.

📢 DEVELOPER NOTE: Upload and update issues have been fully resolved! Thank you for your patience as I catch up on development.

🌟 Key Features

• Zero Configuration Needed: Works instantly upon installation by hooking into vanilla map spawns.
• Controlled Wild Spawns: A maximum of 5 wild variants of each dino type can exist on the map at any single time to maintain balance.
• Full Breeding Support: All custom variants can be bred normally.
• Vanilla Saddle Compatibility: No custom crafting items required—all creatures utilize standard vanilla saddles.
