About
This mod introduces a diverse collection of powerful ceratopsians to Vintage Story! From the famous Triceratops to its lesser-known relatives, these prehistoric herbivores bring new challenges and opportunities for those who encounter them.
Though they are primarily herbivores, ceratopsians are far from passive. Many are territorial and will fiercely defend themselves, their herd, and their young. They may tolerate a cautious observer or will charge without hesitation. Study their behavior carefully—mistaking a peaceful grazer for an aggressive defender could be costly!

Domestication
To hatch eggs, you simply place it down on the ground, they will hatch after sometimes. Important that the area is lit and also big enough for the baby dino to hatch into, it it is too small they will not hatch until there is more space.
Similarly growing will take and require enough space for them grow into their adult form.
Feeding adults,they are herbivorous, you use a large trough or throw the food on the ground, they require 70 portions.
Friendlier(still might attack on occasion) after 3 generation, you can lead them by the rope after 4 geneations, peaceful after 10 geneations
Riding
Hitching Station
If have dinosaur mount that you want to stay put, you can craft a hitching station,
Simply place it down near your mount and it will stay close to it,
If the dinosaur is not domesticated or still too wild, it may knock down the hitching station
Hunting guide(Combat overhaul required and recommended)

White when hit blocks all dmg

Lily_413 I agree! really looking forward to have his mods back in VS :)
@cinsal i think this is the guys first time dealing with a major update!
even so i hope he updates the mods because what he has made is seriously cool as hell
Hey laughinggas will you update the Legacy of the Phanerozoic mods to 1.21 in the foreseeable future? I´m contemplating to start a new
run but i want to wait for your mods. No pressure, just curiosity :)
Bamsse So After reaching out and getting help I have come up a temporary fix to the issue if you, and anyone else, needs it.
The issue comes from the 1.21.0 "Tweak: added EntityBehaviorGait" (If you try to spawn one of the adults that are affected via command it tells you that 'EntityBehaviorGait is not found on entity...")
The temp fix:
Find the tamed-elk JSON
find all lines in regards to Gait
Copy and transfer them over to the appropriate spots in the JSON of the of the dino of your choice.
All mods that add any headgear like horns or antlers currently break all vanilla antlers. I just did some tests with my modlist and discovered this. This included Bovinae, Elephatidae, Cervinae, Rhinocerotidae, and Legacy of Phanerozoic mod. Hopefully this can be fixed soon!
hello laughinggas
I have had a little problem with several of your leagacy of the Phanerozoic mods, some species in different LotP mods cant be adults, trying to place down an adult triceratops or regaliteratops in creative will produce nothing meanwhile the juveniles do apear, same for Parasaurolophus in its mod, while smaller species like leptoceratops can be adults and are still around in my original save. When i updated the basegame to the latest version several things broke ofcourse, but now i tried with only your LotP mods in a new world and adults still cant exist. i hope there is a relatively easy solutions to this but i doubt it.
Have a good day
Bamsse
Does picking up the Ceratopsian eggs reset the generation like with the Tyrannosaurs?
These guys are missing the section for fat drops in the entities .json - is there a better place to report bugs, or is here in the comments fine?
Chisaki
Thank you for the bug report, yes that would cause over spawning, should be addressed now
I think there may be a typo in runtime spawning which is causing us to have WAY too many of these guys
the config shows
```
"/server/spawnconditions/runtime/chanceByType/*-adult-*": "runtime",```but I'm pretty sure based off the docs the correct value is `MaxQuantityByGroup`Also, this config is suspicious for runtimelaughinggas
Please add compatibility with Butchering mod. We love hunt on this creatures and cook them! Yammy!
Not something I know how to do yet, since I'm just reusing the same code for the tamed elks.
can you make wild ones unride-able?
Actually, they currently don't eat grass, that's an oversight, I will change it next update, for now they do eat fruit, grains and vegatables
Do we just feed them grass?
Me and my typos, I've renamed the zip to the correct version
Incorrect version number on the zip! I Imagine servers will have issues with that.
There's a holocene bear mod?
There's a bit of a practical incompatibility with the Holocene mod series in that bears from it will pick fights with these guys and constantly get their asses kicked. I'm not sure if that can be adjusted on your end though.
I made a speed typo, they should have right speed in the latest version
think they are bit fast then you start a fight with them.
Yes you can
Could we ride them, too?
Lastest version adds mounting
also is there a way to add a config for spawn quantity ? cuz I am getting a good amount of them spawning, and they die from running off cliffs making my meat hunting way to easy lol
a picture with me closer for a better idea of size lol
https://postimg.cc/JDvKXvv2
Lol, I'll resize the horns since they are bigger than their actual size, but I can't recreate the 5x in your image, that's very strange.
https://postimg.cc/G9bhG6LN
I got a horn and placed it on the ground and the size it probably 5 times bigger than the dinosaur lol
What probably happened is that since I've added the new species, all t-rex only version vanish because of their different entity ID. It's unvoidable but shouldn't be an issue going forward unless I refactor the ID again in future for some reason.
Love this mod. Im not sure of cause but had a herd one of the folks on my server was taming vanish and figured Id bring it up. These animals are seriously cool though, great work especially on the audio for the babies, they sound adorable.
Keep it up man those models look awesome.
Can't wait til we can ride them!! Love the mods can't wait to add more dino's to my game!!
so this is a big ask but would it be possible for your next species to be Brachiosaurous or at the very least some form of sauropod? and if so is making them rideable a possibilty? because that would be freaking amazing!
Yes, I've made the sound much more reasonable, let me know if it's still an issue
Is it possible to lower the volume on their sounds and possibly frequency? They are very loud but other than that loving it!
These look great! friend loves seeing dinos in the game and I look forward to seeing more if that's your intent (haven't found a rex yet but definitely a goal). My only critique is just how loud they seem to be.
I'm not sure if its intended but these guys make a roar so loud that from about 100 - 150 blocks away it sounded like they were yelling from a few blocks away.
In terms of like, actual sound design though very good work. Don't wanna sound all negative.
I've always hoped someone would add dinosaurs to the game! ❤️
But I have a question: when I hunt them and try to loot them with a knife, they don’t drop anything. Is this intentional, or is it a bug on my end?
Edit: I see what happened! Since they're so big, you have to be really close to them. Hehe.
You might be talking about first version juvie sounds, I changed it out for something that sounds a bit better in the later versions, yes I made it myself but it didn't sound great in groups
Great texturing job man, also the juvenile sounds scared the shit out of me; did you make them yourself or pulled them from some kind of dinosaur game?
Yes, I do plan to let them be mounted
Are they domesticateable, and can they one day be used as mounts with all the bells and whistles of the vanilla elk? That would be all the more incredible than what is already here!
I wish I could just follow a mod author to see ALL the stuff they do. I am loving these dinos and I want to see what others you do. They are gorgeous!!
wow, your modeling and texturing have very much so improved from the t-rex mod, excellent work!! keep it up :D
much better than the previous trex
Thank you for including Biomes support from the start!
