I convinced the owner of the scorched earth server I play on to add this mod last night, and damn, I will say I am excited to see them. Great video as always!
*This video covers both new and old updates overtime since Apex Predators first launched in March* but I understand not everyone sees every update, or some just prefer a video format/reminder. I figured it'd be nice to put the more urgent, impactful and FAQ updates together here ^^ Have fun! 💕
I was wondering cause I wanted to try making a yuty evo but I don’t know how to get everything needed for it i just want to do it as a side project as I’m still in school
I HOPE THAT THE EVO PALEO REX BE STEONGER THAN NORMAL EVO REX BECAUSE HE CHANCE OT BORN ONLY 5% SO IMAGINE WORK LOT OF TIME FOR NOTHING I HOPE THAT THE TORBOSAURUS AND EVO PALEO REX HAVE SPECIAL ABILITIES AND STEONGER STATS
I discovered the claw swipe on the evo giga the other day completely on accident - absolutely amazing dinosaurs yall are making. The models, sounds, animations, everything. Yall win ARK LOL
I just wanna say, the fact that you all aren't employed in this work just makes it all the more astonishing! You're all doing absolutely fantastic, and I genuinely want to say you have my sincerest thanks and support for everything you're doing. These designs are absolute perfection, and it genuinely puts every other dinosaur representation to shame. Your dinosaur designs just scream paleo-accuracy, and it seriously brings tears to my eyes, as I've loved these creatures ever since childhood. Sorry for my rant, but you're all doing phenomenally!❤
Do you take suggestions for mod spotlights, if so, can I recommend you check out Kaluga's Appalachian denizens mod? It adds more accurate versions of several dinos and mammals along with adding a couple of new ones in
just seeing these again is such eye candy. the models textured and animated for that grandness and weight with the gorgeous rendering of ASA absolutely screams awesomeness and theyre a joy to look at everytime!
Always great to hear about Paleo updates. I did go back to SE after the update and did a Dino wipe, however on PS5 in single player I can confirm that there are still no Rexes at all spawning. I also went to the Island and did a wipe. The strange thing was on Carno Island, both vanilla and Evo Rexes spawned in, side by side, which was not the case prior to the update
Edit. The Paleo variant of the Rex looks mint! I think it does look better than the basic. It could be because I'm so used to the vanilla Rex having that central ridge of plates that I felt like something was missing and the proto feathers add. Also, I love the extended patterning over the large areas of the body and tail. I think it was really needed imo. Great stuff!
This is absolutely phenomenal work, and amazing video. After seeing the giga’s crouch claw attack is awesome, It would be funny if it also had a crouch nibble attack, idk why I think that would add to it but I’m not at all disappointed with what we’re getting. I was wondering about the Rex tek saddle but hearing that you’re working on it makes me very excited for it. Excellent job again
Honestly Wildcard should just hire you all to give all of Ark's old creatures TLC's if they aren't going to actually do it themselves, there are so many creatures that really need it and you guys are doing amazing work.
Okay so after watching your video, which thanks again for the update 😊, however there's a slight problem I'm experiencing with the evo giga, apparently when one of my gigas enrage, its eyes go completely black and stay like that even after the rage mode ends. The female giga on the other hand seems okay. Did it 3 times by force rage, same results. However after after restarting the game its fine, rage again →black eyes
Amazing work as always. Yall are doing a FAR better job than actual WILDCARD at making these new wonderful dinos. Exceptional work, truly. I have a minor request, and I realize it's a long shot, but if yall could add a "loaf" mode to the Rex and Giga, it would breathe additional life into the dinos and just further that immersion. It's remarkable how much little idle animations and a sitting mode add so much more life into a dino in ARK. If not no worries, yall have already done more than enough. Looking forward to Elasmosaur!
I have a question about the spawn of evo rex and evo gigas on console bc I play on PlayStation and I’m having a hard time ever finding a wild Evo giga and Rex and only confined vanilla versions. I’ve tried Dino wiping multiple times, but it doesn’t work, but I Can still transform the vanilla Rex or giga into the Evo giga or Rex, but just can’t find them in the wild
Same here. Though on The Island, I couldn't even find vanilla Rexes and Gigas after install. Also couldn't spawn an EVO through console commands. After uninstalling, I was finding Carchas and Rexes so I don't know if the mod breaks spawns on PS5 or what. It's a shame. Update: I didn't realize you had to manually activate mods after installing them. So... yeah... everything works.
Im so thankful for these mods, they breath so much more life into the rex and giga and they fwel so much more like actual animals. Arks default rex has always made me think of a plastic toy 😅. Also sooo excited for the parasaur!! Id love a parasaur more like the actual creature. Ark default parasaurs are so tiny ❤
You have created the best mod that exists for Ark imo. Congratulations you are the best!! The default Rex and Giga have always bothered me even after the Rex’s TLC years ago. The fact that the ugly Ark giga never changed in appearance just bothered me and made me not care to have many in my tribes. If you ever make another EVO creature please consider a EVO Spino. The Spino would be such an amazing duo to the Rex and I’m dying to see a lore Jurassic Park 3 looking Spino in Ark.
You guys are doing amazing with the dinosaurs I love it I can wait for it and now I can a feather variant now sweet i was trying to breed them before but I couldn't get it sadly but now I can so thank you for this update keep up the good work^^
Thank you for the coverage Dark! We always appreciate you keeping us in the loop. Can I ask, is the swallowing thing a visual or is it an execute feature?
Amazing updates to the creatures, can't wait to get a paleo rex myself. Only question remains. Is there any plan for sleeping or sitting animations for these guys?
I would really love more options to interact with our dinos. I would love to be able to pet them or something. There was a mod for ASE that added some interactions like putting them to sleep, petting and feeding them. Do you guys think you might be able to add something like this in the future?
Will there ever be a option to disable paleo spawns and only include the conversion option? Its something id really like so players can have different options for their experience. So many people including me want this mod on a cluster were on but also dont like the idea of an entire overhaul to spawns 😢 otherwise amazing work from you guys
Since the Rex is getting a bit of a facelift, I thought I might add a small consideration around the colour patterns. I think the current one with not really utilising all the regions creates a very 'same look' kinda look for the creatures. They just don't really have enough of an individual character if you know what I mean. It's one of the reasons I like how WC made the patterns on Trikes/stegos/paracers, despite some other shortcomings of those skins, they do produce creatures which look rather unique. Then again if you prefer more uniformity, the current one is better. Just my thoughts
Are you guys planning doing this to a lot more creatures? And if yes, do you have a list or like "priority creatures"? I would love to see wyverns getting some love
Yep, lots more! Wyverns sadly aren't on our list (though I know of two other modders planning to do 2 different Wyvern TLC mods) but as for us, our current priorities are Ankylosaur, Bronto, Therizino, and lootttss more
I love the video and this is somewhat a request or something I know you made the Archelon saddle I was wondering if you were gonna do the bone saddle for the Rex or tarbo I can’t remember but it would be awesome if it was in asa
Thats a Mod i would pay money for to Support the Modders!!! This Mod is the best Dino Mod we have atm, better than Garugas and these 2 are not even "New" dinos lol ❤❤❤ Ngl TLCs are needed and this Shows the potential of the Dinos we already have in the game!
Not always, it was added some time after launch and after my previous videos. I've covered it here anyway because there are still players who don't know this (not everyone checks Discord)
Does your group have any plans to do a touch-up on the Liopleurodon? I believe it's one of those creatures that needs a TLC the most, and I'd love to see an awesome design from your team truly.
I haven’t ark in a few weeks and I was continuing my breeding of the tyrannosaurus for the bosses, I did see the odd baby hatch with a hairy spine? Is this just a low odds thing?
I have a problem with this mod. the first time I installed it, it worked fine with no problems. but I did a dino wipe to get better levels and since then I haven't been able to get them to spawn in. only the vanilla ones spawn. I've restarted the game numerous times, and reinstalled the mod but still, it doesn't work. any solution to this?
I just wanted to ask if you guys would be doing the Equus and the direwolf, I absolutely love the Giga and Rex and currently have an Albino Giga named Chad
Hello what happened to the Evo rex having a Giga Bite attack kinda like the Dienosuchus, wasn't it supposed to make the evo trex useful again since Giga now can do boss and other things?
I'm not sure where to report bugs for this mod. but the rexes are not spawning on scorched Earth. I did some testing and after 4 hours of flying around the areas they should spawn, could not find a single Tyrannosaurus. after downloading the mod to fix the spawning problem they showed up. so the issue still seems to exist
Is there a way for the Evo giga not to have glowing eyes? Im sure others will like it and maybe I'm being too judgemental but I liked it when the eyes didn't glow, too each their own type deal
I'm having trouble. I am on Xbox, and I have your mod downloaded, but it's not working. I haven't seen any Evo Rexes, and actually, after I downloaded the mod and did a dino wipe, I had to do a second one to see even one Rex after flying around for over an hour. When it did spawn, it was still the vanilla Rex I tamed it and checked for the conversation option but nothing was there. Any info on what I might be doing wrong or what the issue could be and how to fix it?
Have you rebooted ARK since downloading the mod? It sounds silly but I've noticed I've had to do that a lot lately to get mods to "kick in". The conversion option not being available makes me thing that ARK doesn't even realize the mod is enabled yet
At the begining of the bonus teaser section when you said the names of the 2 dinos cryptoclidus and something else. Now I don't want to sound rude but what the actual heck did u say because I heard a mix opposite and squit
Alpha Evo Rex?? As if they weren't already scary enough, omg it's time to be afraid in ark again....lol Also, is that a new anky I see in the pile of unfinished dinos at 6 minutes in?? It looks soo much bigger than the normal one!
Sorry for a stupid question, was probably mentioned at some point atleast.....does this work on the center rn? When I look at rex with my spyglass mod it says not tameable and everytime I drag a bidy to it, I just get killed, I've mostly been using stegos
Hello love what you guys do all the time, but I do have a question. Resently when my giga ( evo giga of course) goes enraged it sometimes kick me off and kills me, not sure if that intentionally or not but just wanted to let you know, also keep up the amazing work ❤
Question please. I play on console and this mod is better than wildcards version for sure, I just tamed the evo giga. Can you bring 10 plus gigas to any and every single boss fight? When u address this in the video I wasn't able to understand the final answer. But thanks in advance an keep up the outstanding work.
