Improved Dinos - Rare Spawns

This mod aims to improve dinos with cosmetic and gameplay changes.

Main Features

- Adds rare spawning dinos. These dinos offer a way to get better gear blueprints without having to fly around by yourself farming drops. Intended to be a challenge for small groups or strong individuals. They spawn away from new player areas and stand out from nearby dinos making them easy to avoid if you don't want a fight. Custom server settings let you disable any you do not want to include or increase/decrease spawning limits. Visit the help page on the discussion forum for more information!

- Adds new color combinations to dinos. Albino raptors, t-rexes, direwolfs. Rare all black argentavis, red raptors etc.

- Adds new color options to dinos. Including rare colors like teal, pink and purple.

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.
