Introduction

Sick of the velonasaur’s nerfs? After a mod that restores it to its former glory? (Or to nerf it to oblivion, your choice) Then look no further!

What does this mod do?

Currently this mod makes the following changes to the velonasaur:

- Slightly increased melee damage (configurable) - Reduced stamina consumption of minigun and AoE attacks. (configurable) - Significantly increased AoE attack damage and slightly increased minigun damage. (configurable) - Slightly increased tamed speed. - Slightly increased AoE range and greatly increased minigun range. - Ability to use weaponry while mounted. (configurable) - Spine damage of unridden velonasaurs is no longer constant - What does this mean? Turret mode is stronger! - Slight pack buff, up to +3 (configurable)

This mod also adds an engram for a velonasaur saddle which can be learned on any map.

Please note

This mod does not edit existing velonasaurs. To get an improved one, tame a new one or breed vanilla velonasaurs.

A dino wipe is recommended after installing this mod, or any that adds new creatures.

Removal of this mod will result in the loss of all improved velonasaurs.
