Mod ID = 771092618

Additional Desert Dinos is a mod that quite simply adds a small selection of additional dino species to the Scorched Earth map that I feel should have been there from the offset.

Allosaurs now roam the Badlands in packs of 3-5.

Carbonemys now saunter around the oases and the green desert areas.

Oviraptors can now be found all over the desert areas.

Dimetrodons can be found where ever there is water, and also sunning themselves out on the high dunes.

Alpha Raptors now have a chance to spawn where ever there are Raptors, and that includes the 'Easy' areas.

Alpha Carnos can now be found in the mountainous areas.

Alpha Rex's can be found prowling where ever normal Rex's lurk, and also rarely out on the dunes.

Finally, I've given Archaeopteryx more spawn areas.

All these new dinos spawn in addition to the regular Scorched Earth dinos, no spawns have been replaced, and it will not effect any new dinos added to the map in future updates.

It is highly recommended to run a DestroyWildDinos command on first installing this mod to clear the map of wild dinos and get the new ones to start spawning

No core files are altered in any way, and therefore this mod is completely clean and stackable.

Many thanks for taking a look and downloading my mod, I hope you enjoy the additional variety of life to be found in the Scorched lands.

As usual, a big up to the fantastic gang over at the Ark Modders Discord Group, without whom I would be in a state of permanent bafflement XD

Additional Desert Dinos 2.0: The Full Monty Edition

With the launch of A.D.D.2.0, please be aware that I will no longer be adding any updates or additional creatures to this mod, and will only make changes if a future base game update causes it to stop working all together. All additional new creatures added to the game that don't make it to Scorched Earth will be included in A.D.D.2.0.

As always thank you all for your massive support, now and in the future.
