Introduction
Kaluga's Appalachian Densizen delivers slightly more accurate variants of the existing ark animals as well as some new animals that act as variety! These don't add much but they do bring more variety to your maps and playthroughs!
The variants included so far: -Appalachian Mammoth -Appalachian Megaloceros -Appalachian Woolly Rhino -Appalachian Cave Bear -Appalachian Parasaurolophus -Appalachian Iguanodon -Appalachian Carnotaurus -Appalachian Ceratosaurus -Appalachian Gigantoraptor -Appalachian Chalicotherium
** Animals added** (are essentially reskinned vanilla animals with some stat tweaks): -Elasmotherium -Wild Horses (Bey, Dotted, Feral, Skalbald, Appaloosa, Ancestral Appaloosa, Spotted, Painted, Two Toned) -Northern Pike -Muskellunge -Brown Trout -Largemouth Bass -Smallmouth Bass -Blue Catfish -Flathead Catfish -Channel Catfish -Bluegill -Grey Wolf -Caribou -Alligator Snapping Turtle -Raccoon -Tarpon
There will be more animals, variants, and items added in the future! This is only the beginning.
FAQ Question 1: Why are they called Appalachian Variants if none are from the real Appalachian region?
Answer 1: It is a simple stylistic choice and the animals, variants, and items are all meant to be used with my map "Appalachia".
Question 2: Why did you not release these with Appalachia?
Answer 2: My community and I all want these animals to be in our worlds and Appalachia is taking longer than expected but it is in its final stages of development before release. Enjoy the pack!
Question 3: Why not make all new animations and things for these creatures?
Answer 3: Because I don't know how to animate and memory constraints for mod file size can get really big really fast if I did it for every single creature.
Question 4: How often do these animals and variants spawn?
Answer 4: They use the same spawns as the animals they are based off of but only 30% as common as they are. They aren't very common but that makes finding these animals special.
Question 5: What took you so long?
Answer 5: I tend to overthink a lot of things when developing stuff. That said, I had no idea it was as simple as copy-paste the needed files and edit as needed to make these work so yeah I'm a bit of a dunce.
Question 6: Why only release with these 3 and 1 item if it is so easy?
Answer 6: That is a fairly easy question to answer. I want to add more of what I have done but I do have fixes to make to some of the old versions before they are the quality I want to put out. Long story short, I want to release a few at a time or one at a time to keep things alive and fresh for the mod.
