How To Add New Creatures

Hello there! For the past few days I’ve been wondering how to actually add new creatures into the game, or how to edit a current one into my liking (as in edit how they look bigger/smaller, color change, or even add a new model) So my question is how do modders like the poeple that make for example take current dinos, change them (size, colors), and then add them to the game. I tried looking for a video or a tutorial for it but with no luck. Would love to hear back from modders!

Do a search for “dino variants” in the forums and you will see some guides on how to do this. As for adding the dinos into the game, it’s easier now due to the recent ARK BP changes. You can simply add the new dinos to your Primal BP. Mods like Annuanki and DinoOverhaul use dirty mod techniques to add their dinos into the game, but due to the recent Dev Kit updates, you don’t need to do this anymore.
