Mod ID# 1286914584

Part of the Better Dinos Series.

This mod very simply adds a new default buff to Megalosaurs and Aberrant Megalosaurs that makes their Grab attack a Tamed AI Special Attack.

This means that you can go into the Behaviour section of your Megalosaurs Radial Menu, and by disabling Tamed AI Special Attacks (it will start off as disabled anyway) this will ensure that your Megalosaur always uses its bite attack when unridden, ensuring maximum damage output at all times. Perfect for boss battles and surprise Purlovia attacks.

Known bug: When toggling between enabled and disabled, the text will not change. It is working fine and it is toggling properly between enabled and disabled, just not visually showing it.

The grab attack is completely unaffected when the dino has a rider, and you can still grab things to your hearts content when riding around on it.

As this is achieved entirely through a buff, this mod is completely clean and stackable, please note that it will only effect vanilla Megalosaurs and Aberrant Megalosaurs and not any modded variations of these dinos.

**** New New New ****

This standalone has now been brought fully up to date to have the same functionality as the Better Dinos version. This means

* Sleep Debt increased to 400 * Rate of Sleep Deprevation slowed * Sleep Depreived Megalos are not as useless as previously, attack stamina usage reduced and sleep deprived movement rate increased * Pressing X when riding a Megalo will give a slight night vision effect (similar to using shadow steak saute)

Users of my Better Dinos mod already have this enabled on the Better Megalosaurus.

If you like your improved damage output for your lovely Megalosaurs, go ahead and give this mod a much welcome thumbs up and favourite and all that other stuff, and check out the links to some of my other mods below:
