[h1] ** WARNING: If you are looking for a solid challenge against your PvE counterparts this MOD will give you all the challenge you are looking for; PvP is much more interesting and requires a cleaner approach. This MOD is very unforgiving for the casual gamer, forget what you think you know about the vanilla Disneyland experience, progression will take time and taking shortcuts can really set you back. All dinos have been completely reworked in all areas, take the time to test this MOD on a singleplayer server and ensure your community is fully aware that DinoOverhaul completely changes gameplay tactics.

NOTE: Do not run this MOD above Difficulty=1 the MOD will be completely unbalanced. This MOD already introduces a huge increase in challenge at standard difficulty and has not been tuned to surpass vanilla difficulty default levels.** [/h1]

Lookin good Mike! I like what you are doing with this rework mod quite a bit. I wanted to see Alpha dino’s in the game early on. Thought it was always something that would of added to the realism/terror factor of it all haha.

Thanks for sharing & good work!

Thanks Sinari, i wish there was MOD stacking already because i would love to add your MOD to mine!

Ditto! Was just thinking they would be a nice combo together :smiley:

I’m developing a very similar mod to this also called Ultra-Realism. Probably the main difference is mine will be fairly scientific in terms of balance sometimes at the expense of fun(!).

If you want to exchange ideas any time feel free to drop me a PM. I think the art of balancing is probably something that we’re all going to have to put our heads together on at some point…

I’ve been doing dino balance in my mod Statera Vis as well. My initial effort was in support of my mod having multiple levels of tranquilizer round, and making it so taming something like a Rex would NEED that higher caliber tranq round.

I also re-balanced the dinos based on ‘size class’ so that the larger dinos are a lot tougher, and harder to bring down and then get even moreso with levels so that a level 1 rex is peanuts when compared to a level 50. I made the damage boost that dinos got vs. other dinos when tamed baseline to apply to wild dinos as well (with a tweak to make the carnivores more dangerous). I still plan to do another rebalance pass soon as I’m never happy with my work. :smiley:

Its looking good man! Balancing is definitely a fine line to walk down…lol. have you gotten to the place where a lvl 30rex (with 20 levels while tamed) doesnt destroy level 80s?

I see, for the most part the rehauled dinos are much more deadly. For example even in full armor a Rex will mostly likely 1 shot a player on foot, so attempting to bring it down is very risky but rewarding and highly encouraged to have for end game boss fights.

Can I have more info on the Rework Dino taming?

Taming is faster but not easier? Why? is the topor decrease faster?

Yes, i rebalanced that “-Further Adjusted % stat gain when tamed addition (heavily nerfed due to receiving 50%+ bonus to HP/DPS/TORP, etc)” so you only can receive a small boost.

Torpor decreases fast, requires more resources to keep down, and is much more dangerous to approach and attempt to take down due to rebalance of tamed dino that were once OP (of course you can trap the dino behind a wall or something (the AI is a little dumb still). For example if you approach a level 30 rex on a level 30 sabertooth attempt to fight you will drop in 3-6 hits depending on where you placed your stat points. Also Wild dinos regain health and Torpor very quickly. so unengaging in battle for more than a set amount of time will result in lost efforts. Certain dinos will also flee from battle for a set time if they reach critical health, giving them time to regain stats.

-Update further balanced v2.6.6

FYI, all the dinos are added into a subclassed spawner, so any exisiting dinos in game will not be altered instead any new dinos that spawn will be the new modified ones.

"-Temp fix for Ples unlimited spawning ( I advise you to remove all Ples, but be warned it will cause a “SERVER CRASH”, and you have to wait for the server to return, it can take upto “1hr”) (if you installed this MOD after v2.7.0, then you are fine and wont need to do this). "

BUT HOW!!! lol… this one still stumps me.

I could be wrong but he remove the ple from the spawner. I read that somewhere :slight_smile: (in the comment on steam no?)

I completely redid their spawn in a different sections. But keep in mind that you also need to update the Ples depth limits so his animations work again.
