- Upcoming
- Fix for alpha's spawning too close to bases.

- Known Issues
- - Newly tamed dinos do not get mate boosted with previously tamed partners. Newly tamed dinos still get mate boosted by other newly tamed dinos. This is a limitation in the way mate boosting is setup and I have not been able to find a fix yet. In the meantime, tame a male/female pair after first installing the mod for mate boost!
- Recent Changes
- - Vanilla alpha spawns should now always work and are handled by the mod, you can disable them or change the chance to spawn via new [ServerSettings]. See the section on alphas on the help page.
- - Added obsidian carno. Use 'SpawnRareCarnos' in [ServerSettings] to disable or adjust number of spawns. He appears around the same area so increasing the number will make that area very dangerous.
- - Added all color direwolfs. No pink, teal or bright color options. Still found in white, black, red, blue etc. colors.
- - Added darker grey color option.
- - Adjusted pink and teal color chance for all dinos. Now properly lower then all other possible colors.
- - Updated to a mod for 217 dev kit.
- - Added new [ServerSettings] options to control the number of rare spawns. Including disable support.
- - Fixed issue with overspawning raptor elites.
- - Obsidian Carno prep work.
- - Increased elite raptor spawn chance, now that they are limited to 3.
- - Alpha dilo is now limited to 3 and no longer de-spawns. Tamed alpha dilos count toward this limit, protect your tamed alpha dilos!
- - Added alpha dilo.
- - Rare spawns will now despawn after 10 minutes of not attacking anything.
- - Raptor Elite has been restrict to a maximum of 3 alive in the world at any time.
- This should help prevent them from taking over an area of the map on lower population servers.
