About

Thank you for making these dinosaur mods, I really hope they work on the current version!

*Edit: with the LoP Patch, so far, so good. I am not nearly near domestication or anything, but I do see dinosaurs.

 in the 1.21.0 version the mod only spawn juvenille ( 90% of the dinosaures i can't spawn thier adult version) any chance to update your mod on the 1.21.0 ? 

Any plans to have a mod with Compies? (Compsognathus)

idk it feels weird to see the larger raptors climb. Microraptors, sure, but a utah climbing straight up the side of a wall? That don't seem right.

Also the hitching post doesn't seem to work. A tamed utahraptor will hang out at the hitching post (though can't actually be tethered to it from what I can tell) for a while before inevitably running off to go kill anything that moves. I ended up just giving up on keeping a tamed utahraptor. Still love the mod, though.

I'm glad to see they can climb very well, how safe am I behind this door? Lol.

I managed to make her eat, altough she keeps getting stuck in the corner of the fences, hovering near the ceiling :/

Check that the females has the "ready to mate" text when you hover over them first, they shouldn't aggro if you are out of sight and far enough away, same goes for other mobs. Only females will show portion eaten, so make sure you segregate the genders so the males don't eat the female's portion.

Hello it's me again ! I'm a bit confused about how to feed Achillobators .. ?

They're trapped in a underground pit with fences as ceiling, to give them light

However, it seem like they won't eat the meat I drop ( red meats )

So i'm not sure how to breed them

Please note they keep running everywhere as if they're trying to aggro some herbivores from outside

Hopefully you can help !

Thanks for the quick response. I figured something wasn't working as intended, just wasn't sure if it was due to your mod or if VS's animal AI was doing weird things. Thanks for fixing it so quickly!

Thank you for feedback, but all of that was a bug and not intented design. It flew over the radar since nobody said anything about it until now. Should be fixed now.

Love the concept - cause really, who doesn't think raptors are awesome? - but there's a major flaw in the execution and I'm not sure if it's the mod or just bad VS animal AI in general.

Namely, their aggression. They're hyper-aggressive and are CONSTANTLY hunting, to the point where they will kill anything they consider prey practically as soon as they spot something to eat (which, at least in my game, they never do - when I look at something they've killed, it just says killed by another creature, nothing about being partially-eaten or anything like that so as far as I can tell they're not even eating their kills). It's gotten to the point where I've gone into creative mode and watched a trio of utahs just absolutely decimate the local fauna population, moving from one prey item to the next with little to no cooldown. I'm not sure if their hunting frequency is based on their weight and the weight of the creatures they kill (i.e. needing to eat more prey before they're satisfied), or if something else is going on. In a game with just this mod it may not be super noticeable unless you go out of your way looking for this happening, but it quickly becomes very apparent there's a raptor in the area with any kind of mob radar mod because you'll just see huge swaths of dead-entity-icons everywhere on your map in the area the raptors are living.

Unfortunately it's riding the edge of being a dealbreaker for me, especially on my server. I don't mind them hunting to survive like any other creature - in fact I would expect them to, they gotta eat just like anyone else - but the problem is they're just killing everything they see until they're the only things left in their immediate area, leaving corpses all over the place that as far as I can tell they're not even eating.

I totatlly get what you mean by them being on the quiet side, but unfortunately there's vanilla bug that currently just plays any sound entity has at full volumn regardless of distant, I'm hesistant to add more sounds to these creature until that issue is fixed first, if I did the sheer level of noise pollution would be worst than death itself. The old t-rex used do exactly what you just ask for but they would blow your ear out if there was three of them, even if you are underground. 

Love the mod, think it's awesome that I can play with dino's.
After finally making it to year 2 on my hardcore 1 life playthrough with this and all other dino mods I can say there is something missing with these mods.
The audio. It's crazy awesome that you can hear that amazing long neck buildup sound, or snorts or stomps. But it is really missing the whole "telegraph to play that mobs are nearby", the "alert" sound that creatures make even if not realistic.
Jumping through bushes, and during wind storms you just get jump scared ALL the time .. even on quiet times they don't alert you to their presence in any way.
The bigger the animal the less immersive, tetter-tottering on 1x1 rocks with animations not tied to the footstep sounds.
Fix the audio and this mod is donation worthy.

I've already written the names of the ones you can ride in the in ridable section of the mod page, code is formatted like family-species-gender-age, just look at the entity json file

Hello! looking to see what the names of all these are (but specifically the ridable ones) in code i guess so i can put them into the animal cages mod. also, im running into an issue where they climbing verticle walls, im unsure if this is intended but its super annoying

Please add compatibility with Butchering mod. We love hunt on this creatures and cook them! Yammy!

Make sure you have the most up to date version, I just tested it works, temp should not affect it.

• Double check, that it is a male and a female
• be near each other (within 10 block)
• female 15 portions eaten
• have "ready to mate" text on female

They do the deed pretty quickly, it should not take months. The only other thing I can think of that maybe prevent them from doing is being aggro'd to something like a player or other mobs, so maybe give them distant outside of aggro range and come back. Let me know if it's still an issue. 

Im having issues with my utahraptors not breeding. The female has 15 portions, is ready to mate and has a male, but they refuse to do it. its been 3 ingame months, althought its winter. Does the temp have to be above the minimum for the spawning aswell?

You can check their spawn conditions for all the species on the mod page, you can ride them straight away, they'll just still attack you once you get off, so you'll need to domesticate it.

Hello, do they spawn in winter? And to know how to ride them, you just need a young one that has grown up?

So if you want to crank up the spawns, you gotta change bytype triesperChunk, those one are for adults only(except for the female who comes with some bavbies), the worlgen spawncondtions not per type includes both babies and adults, but since the females also comes with babies, it effectively spawning way more babies. Hope that helps. 

I was messing around more - it seems like only babies spawn? At least for this one and the Spinosaurs.

I was messing with the global spawnrates for personal use, but even if I created an unholy flood of dinosaurs, they would only ever be babies, despite me not tooling with the spawnrates by type.

That's good hear, newly generated chunks will also spawn them if you already have world running(aside from spawning over time). I wanna keep the rate where it for now, I don't want a repeat of when people were spawning in and getting gank immediately by a trio of t-rexes over and over.

Thank you for updating! I booted it on a new world to check, and did find a natural spawn - they do feel pretty rare (one group in ~15 minutes of checking with flight and blockoverlay), but they are spawning.

Ok I've added their world gen spawn, so they spawn as part of the intital world generation, so it's not just the spawn over time. I highly recommend updating, if you are exploring finding barren dinoless land.

Let me know if I over did it with the amount of spawns, I only tested it for a bit.

Thanks for letting me know, I will remedy this, I think I know what the issue is, I will roll and update to fix this.

@sayakamui yeah same issue- i was at first thinking they just weren't in my area but it's been a bit of active checking with blockoverlay and nothing

i don't think the new update changed anything, either

is anyone else just not having ANY of the LotP animals spawning naturally? I'm only seeing smaller wildlife like rabbits and foxes

A little bit, maybe on some of them at least, but all in all, pretty damn good

I've ready made some adjustment prior in the last update, let me know if still too far foward.

Oh wait really? God I hate fandom wikis
Right then:

this is the birth of the new Leonardo da Vinci of vintage story mods🔥🔥🔥

I'm not really a fan of dinos on games like this one but damn, you models and textures are cool as fuck! 🔥 I'll make a run with this mods and a few world tweaks to simulate the dino era.

Suedwind

Not anytime soon, though I know a modder is doing some giant insect, so hopefully you won't have to wait to long

I'm absolute in love, and Raptors are by far my favs. Looking forward for them to mount! A wish will come true! :D

The links don't work, but you can upload images directly

Plans adding giant Insects to?

Love the way these look, my only "complaint" (more feedback than a complaint) is that their arms shouldn't be stretched out forward so much like they are here. It should be a little bit more like these examples from prehistoric planet:

I was just playing with the other mods yesterday and wishing there was raptors

Immediately downloaded!

I'm glad you guys finding it to your liking. More to come!

im in love

The way you model these dinassaurs, is soo... Eye candy. Really great models. Might wanna check it out.
