V-Variants+ by Schwifty

Standalone dino variants with unique abilities, equippable power upgrades, select evolution lines, and endgame Slayer creatures.

Feel free to leave feedback or suggestions as well! I am actively adding more content!

This mod introduces V-Variants to Ark: Survival Ascended — special red, white, and black themed variants with unique stats, abilities, and slight cosmetic differences. V-Variants boast higher health, weight, and size compared to their vanilla counterparts, making them powerful and visually distinct creatures.

✨ Current Content:

80 V-Dinos implemented, each with custom tweaks to speed, damage, abilities, or traversal.

Core System — a brand-new progression mechanic where:

  • V-Dinos have a chance to drop Core Shards on death.
  • Slayer Bosses habe a chance to drop Core Fragments when defeated.
  • Shards + Fragments are combined to craft powerful Cores, which can be equipped to enhance your V-Dinos with unique buffs and abilities.

5 Slayer Variants — unique, high-end, boss-slaying creatures tied to their own Slayer Boss encounters. Defeating these bosses not only provides Core Fragments but also rewards Slayer Tokens, which can be redeemed to obtain Slayer Dinos.

To tame V-Dinos, survivors must craft V-Kibble using cooking pots. These creatures are designed to stand out both in gameplay and in looks, adding fresh feel to your adventure!

Ini Settings:

  • [V-Dinos]
  • AllowCrossBreed=True/False (Defaults to true if not added)
  • AllowSlayerTokenDrop=True/False (Defaults to true)
