I'm setting up a small PvP server that focuses on being grounded in a more set timeframe (wild west) that relies more heavily on ground transportation and slower paced gameplay. To do so I'm looking to buff platform saddle creatures (so that awesome mobile bases / tanks aren't just sniped to death by a rifle) and to nerf flyers to make them a riskier method of travelling and to also make them much less effective at quickly crossing the entire map. IMO vanilla fliers completely ruin the pacing of the game as they make travel completely trivial, so I'm looking to thwart the "I'm going to just instantly take a secure private jet to quickly zoom to the other end of the map" pacing the game normally takes. To achieve my vision, firstly I need to make platform saddle creatures much tankier. I've zero modding experience so I guess I'm asking if there's an existing mod that accomplishes something similar, something in the .ini I can change to achieve this, or if there's a simple method that could work if I just went and made the mod myself. I've thought of a couple ways I could implement this: A) A passive bullet damage resistance for designated creatures (I just want the damage resistance to bullets mainly), but I do not know if this is possible to do B) Increased health values for platform saddle creatures- this is something I feel like could be changed very easily, I just don't know how to do it C) Platform saddles granting significantly increased armor, effectively giving anything wearing said saddle more health The second thing I need to do is nerf flyers. There are three primary things that I want: -Reduced max health (similar to point B above, this is something I feel like should be absolutely doable) -Reduced stamina values -More grounded flying (I believe Classic Fliers does this, but if anyone knows a better flying mod that might be cool) Again, I have zero modding experience. If any of these changes sound like something a new modder could easily load up the editor and change, I'll do it and just make the mod myself. Some of these changes sound like something that could be edited just in the game.ini file, but I'm not well-versed enough in the Ark .ini to have any clue how I might go about that. Lastly, if there are any mods that sound like any of these changes at all, please let me know about them. Any help provided will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Vulpes zerda/macrotis (FOX) This solitary fox likes to hide in burrows located near tundra biomes or the desert. Its pelt color makes it difficult to be seen in the desert or even in the dark. Most of the times you will find it alone but there is a chance you'll sight it resting with other Vulpes. It loves hiding on burrows or dark places to rest and stay isolated from everything. Whenever there is an intruder wandering its territory it'll stay hidden but can be spotted by its bright eyes. It is capable of detecting nearby enemies pretty easily, be wary of its sharp teeth and claws and dont let its fluffy tail distract you , it may seem cute but it is lethal enough to protect its territory from a large variety of creatures. VULPES Buffs/Debuffs abilities Damage abilities Tracking abilities (Improved shadowmane) speed on the ground Touching any kind of sand will give you a speed and jump boost Bigger than direwolf but smaller than a shadowmane. Can ride it without saddle but wont be able to use any of its modes if the shaddle isn't equipped. When a female and a male are together nearby breeding dinos they have a bigger chance of developing color mutations on newborn dinos VULPES ABILITIES: Vulpes is able to switch between 2 modes , Alert ( damage ) mode where it will have its ears pointing backwards, show its teeth and its tail will wag nervously. Then, relax mode ( support) where it will have its ears pointing upwards and calm itself. Vulpes BASE KIT ABILITIES: Vulpes is able to bite any dino corpse to search the nearest highest level dino of that same species wich was bitten. Vulpes is able to passively give nearby dinos a range detection improvement, this passive is able to make nearby dinos (like parasaurs) increase their detection range, in this case, a parasaur will be able to increase a few meters its radar. Maybe sandflame has bonds with other dinos. Vulpes able to wall bounce due to its high agility and energy, at the same time, he can dash and make high jump from land . (When sandflame is on damage mode , he has traits of an aggresive fox at that moment , when he is on support mode he shows traits of a relaxed fox) Vulpes DAMAGE MODE ABILITIES: -Vulpes BITES BUT IT ALSO HAS A BAR WHICH CAN BE FILLED PASSIVELY WHEN BEING EXPOSED A LARGE PERIOD OF TIME TO HIGH TEMPERATURES AND MANUALLY BY GIVING IT SAND , SULFUR ... WHEN THIS BAR IS FULLY CHARGED, SANDFLAME WILL START CAUSING HEAT STROKES TO ENEMIES THAT GET BITTEN BY IT. WHENEVER ITS BAR IS FILLED, NEXT TIME IT BITES WILL ACTIVATE THE BAR TIMER AND WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE HEATSTROKE STATUS TO ENEMIES UNTIL THE TIMER ENDS. When the bar finishes, its torpidity will increase due to the high temperatures it was exposed to but will be able to charge the bar again after a few seconds. When sandflame is able to cause heatstroke effect , a trail will start comming from its mouth and eyes to show the scorching effect it is able to cause. -Vulpes IS ABLE TO JUMP THEIR PRAY AND ATTACK WITH ITS CLAWS AFTER A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF HITS ( DEPENDING ON THE ENEMY ARMOR ) IT WILL BE ABLE TO CAUSE THE BLEEDING STATUS EFFECT. After succesfully applying bleeding its dexterity and attack speed will be faster during 20 seconds. -Vulpes IS ALSO ABLE OF AMBUSHING NEARBY ENEMIES. If it is a small prey it will be able to stun the enemy for a few seconds like raptors do. But if it is a bigger creature, it will have to bite it and attach to any body part of the enemy while its stamina drains. The enemy has the option to struggle and lose its stamina faster but kicking sandflame or to keep sandflame and lose stamina slower.(? Sandflame's jaws are lethal but not resistent enough to keep himself there so after a few seconds it will have to drop. While being attached to dinos , sandflame can parcially use its claws because it has to focus on the strenght of its jaws. While being in damage mode, sandflame is able to go faster but has less resistance. VULPES SUPPORT MODE ABILITIES: -Vulpes IS ABLE TO BITE NEARBY ALLIES ( 1 AT THE SAME TIME ) TO GIVE THEM A PROTECTION EFFECT FOR 12 SECONDS THAT WILL PREVENT ITS ALLY FROM GETTIG ANY KIND OF STUN. -Vulpes is ABLE TO REST AND PLAY WITH SAND ( MAKING IT TO BE UNABLE TO CAUSE ANY KIND OF DAMAGE OR DEFENSE WHILE ON THIS MODE , LIKE OWL FREEZE), WHILE RESTING , IT IS ABLE TO PASSIVELY HEAL NEARBY ALLIES . But it wont do it and get angry if you dont put sand on its inventory or any beautiful rock like gems. -Vulpes IS ABLE TO HOWL AND REDUCE NEARBY ALLIES NEGATIVE EFFECTS TIMER.(TORPIDITY REDUCTION AT THE SAME TIME). While being on support mode , sandflame is slower but has more resitence TAMING: To tame a Vulpes you will have to wait until nightime. When the night falls you will have to enter any burrow or cave where you know a sandflame is resting or hiding. You'll only be able to see its shinning eyes if it stays hidden. Whenever you know its position approach it and offer any beautiful gem ( red,blue or green gems ) or sulfur (but it doesnt like it as much) . Whenever it sees the gem, it will approach you and you will have to wait until it lets you pet its head . Whenever you pet it, it will stun you for 7 seconds and go away to hide again You will have to focus again on its eyes and offer gems until it finally gets tamed . Vulpes is clever and will find the perfect spot to hide from you. Art created by ManuKira On the images Im showing Im trying just to guide you through the aspect and traits it could have . Like fasolasuchus had Drawing created by NLONF The first image is the normal fox ( in real life) , the second image is a special franchise fox called "sandflame" from a special serie. The things of this fox are the special traits he has to make the base creature look cooler like the fasolasuchus.Dont use the second image as main creature . I just wanted to show the traits This is another in real life picture

Zygophyseter --> Takes buffs under the sea
Abaddon23 posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
Zygophyseter: New the crafting skill of 100%!!! We get a creature for the land part and we get one for the air, what ist missing? Yes the sea, so we need a creature for the sea Discriptionof Zygophyseter from Wikipedia: Zygophyseter varolai is an extinct sperm whale that lived during the Tortonian age of the Late Miocene 11.2 to 7.6 million years ago. It is known from a single specimen from the Pietra Leccese Formation in Italy. It was a member of a stem group of fossil macroraptorial sperm whales (often shortened to "raptorial") also including Brygmophyseter, Acrophyseter, and Livyatan. It probably grew to be around 6.5 to 7 meters (21 to 23 ft) in length and shared some characteristics with other raptorials, such as large teeth with tooth enamel that were functional in both the upper and lower jaws which the modern sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) lacks. It also had a beak, the ability to echolocate prey, and could have probably swum faster than the modern-day sperm whale which can reach 4 kilometers per hour (2.5 mph). These were probably used in the capture of large prey, such as large fish, seals, and whales. In fact, its common name, the killer sperm whale, refers to its feeding habits that would have had a resemblance to the modern-day killer whale (Orcinus orca). Taming: He swim in a pack with babys, you must tame the baby of the group. You put Basilo Blubber of the "0" in the inventory and feed the baby the Blubber. The archaeologists have find new discoveries about the Zygophyseter: He is the the killer whale of the old times, his passive is predator of the sea: If he swims around in 3 groups, other water animals dont attack him except Tuso and Mosa. And he make 1,5x more damage vs a Tuso. His other passive is intilligent predator: If he eats jellyfish or eels he can make shocking bite attacks on others, but he is immune to it. Sea view: his rider sees everything clear and bright in the deap sea. left klick: bite with passive (intilligent predator) right klick: headbutt -> he can make his opponent drowsi x- klick: flippers blow -> beats with his fin and can hit rider down c- klick: call buffs Call buffs: you have many call buffs with the Zygo and can swap the calls with the R like the new Tek-bow. But every call have a cooldown. And you can call only one buff. echo sounder: can uncover all livings being like the Para, you can also see how far away the animal or person is. heal call: can only be used with Zygo groups, you can heal all group member. damage call: all buffed animal get a damage buff. attackspeed call: all buffed animal get a attackspeed buff. tank call: all buffed animal get a tank buff, he get a fewer damage from opponents. slow call: all debuffed opponents are slower down. confusion call: all debuffed opponents are confused and swim awy. Their saddle is similar to the Roll Rat saddle, where the dome-shield is furled up until the player mounts Enhydriodon. Then, it unfolds and completely encases the player, protecting it from firearms, creatures that dismount the player (Cnidaria, Microraptor, Kaprosuchus, etc.) Underwater, the dome makes it so that the player will not lose oxygen while mounted, but will not replenish oxygen should the player dismount underwater, similar to the Andrewsarchus minigun saddle. His smart aura gives you (when you are in the water with him) 100% crafting skill efficiency,for a certain time!!! He is stronger in a pack, he needs his family and they can kill everyone together in the sea! Size: He can farm white and black perl, crystal and obsidian with his good denture For many Ideas feel free and write your ideas under the post I hope you like this creature and vote him up for the better sea in ARK
