Lost Colony & Valguero saddles have now been added to the loot pool! Other Lost Colony weapons and armor are coming soon!

Upset that TEK Dinos only spawn on Extinction and Astraeos, when they spawned on all maps on Ark: Survival Evolved? This mod fixes that by allowing TEK Dinos to spawn on all maps, with some extra secrets to be found.

Simply put, this mod just adds all TEK species back to other maps at a 5% spawn rate. However, for fun, some new "miniboss-style" Alpha Tek variants have been included as well and are intended to be incredibly rare to find (1% chance), but provide OSD-style loot if you're brave enough to take them on. On a Alpha Tek spawn, you will get a message at the top of your screen with some Genesis: Part 1 music, and more. Additionally, I've added the Tek Mosa as well back into the game after being neglected.

Lots of fun ideas can come about with this mod, but at its core, this will always be a mod about bringing back those easy oil and electronic pickings to the ARKs.

Now compatible with Paleo ARK - Evolution | Apex Predators and Paleo ARK - Evolution | Dangerous Depths! If installed, this mod will spawn TEK Tyrannosaurus instead of TEK Rexes. As Paleo does not have any TEK Mosasaurus or TEK Giganotosaurus, it does just spawn this mod's version for now. Additionally, support has been added for BigAL's Meraxes TLC and will spawn in TEK Meraxes, too!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. This mod is completely set-up to ignore spawns on Extinction and Astraeos, however, Alphas should still spawn on those maps and will be based on native Tek spawns.

2. Additionally, there are known incompatibility issues with Custom Dino Levels mod. I suggest using Vanilla with Sprinkles to adjust your dino levels, as that has worked with this mod in the past.
