Adds a three-tiered hunger meter to the wild carnivores of Ark. Dinos will be either full, not hungry or hungry. Full dinos have greatly reduced aggro range and no corpse targeting. Non-hungry dinos have halved aggro ranged and enabled corpse targeting (unless the dino doesn't eat corpses by default). Hungry dinos reset back to their default behaviour.

How much food a dino is worth depends on its corpse health so higher level & stronger dinos give more food when eaten. If a dino gets full in the middle of eating it'll stop and leave the corpse.

Technical

Adds a DinoHungerController to each non-tamed carnivore within 21k default units of players. The controller randomises how hungry the spawned dino is and changes "Natural Targeting Range" & "Enable Corpse Targeting" depending on their hunger. Once a carnivore is knocked out, the food meter will match the hunger meter. Adds DinoHasHungerMeter tag on dinos with the hunger meter enabled.

Updates

There will not be any. I have moved to other games but as this mod has been stable for over a year, it will stay public so people who are using it can keep using it.
