ARCHOSAUR! is a package of dinosaur-inspired creatures for your Vintage Story world. Each update will bring additional archosaurs to fill different environmental and gameplay niches including small and cute pets, swarming scavengers, ambush predators, and herding herbivores.
ARCHOSAUR requires petAI to function!

ROADMAP

- In Development - Scutosaur (prolific ankylosaur with kentrosaur spikes)
After That: Calceratops + Monalasaur (daytime psittaco brawler + nocturnal ambush predator)
Compy - you already know, they'll swarm like crazy around carcasses or you, if you try to attack them
Oczakadon - a colorful egg stealer
Bludgops - a near-sighted aggressive herbivore
Agiceratops - a grumpy centrosaur
Hydrosaur - derived hydrosaur with beautiful and haunting calls
Archaeodon - derived struthiomimus/gallimimus, very fast mount
Marshodon - a big ol' friendly deinocheirus
Sandosaur - a concavenator that swims through the sand, like the one in ARK's additions
Colossodactyl - a marriage between Maip Megathorax and the namesake from MTG
Thundasuchops - land crocodile with a carno-shaped head like the one found in Skull Island
Frigisaur - fluffy cryosaur that spits fluid that makes you sleepy
Monstrosaurus Rex - Suciasarus Rex, WA state dinosaur
Authors Note***: Hello gamers. If you're reading this I've started college. This means I have limited time to make repairs/updates, and will likely only design one creature at a time. I like to flesh out my creatures with behaviors and animations, so it can be as fast as within 2 weeks to make a new creature or much, much longer with college thrown into the mix.

Your thumbnail broke for whatever reason. Unless that's a me issue.
current versions with petAI are bugged, for some reason the petAI is not working, the cause is still unknown, I'll be able to upload the latest without petAI for now, but with an additional creature.
Question: can this creature be tamed? :o
Because im not used to PetAI, so I dont know what I can and cannot do with this agressive creature. Ive fed it until its full affection and obedience, but it still hunts me
Please do not increast their health any further! Being pack hunters they are imo fine as they are.

Thanks so much!!! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.

I can look into making them tougher, I don't think I've ever gone far enough in Vintage story to reach a point where I was killing animals with arrows in 2 hits LOL, good to know people reach that point! But, I can potentially look into configs, for now their health pool has already been tweaked (increased) and their aggression to other creatures modified as well as a result of other feedback. Also, taming is broken right now and I am unsure why, but those fixes and a new archosaur are coming in the next update!
These seem really neat! definitely my favorite made / best animated dino for the game (seriously, while messing around with them in creative I kept noticing cool details that wow'd me)
I'm excited to see where you take this. I'm guessing they're just rare spawns but I couldn't seem to find them while hunting around for them in the wild (again, zooming around the world in creative) but I included it in our multiplayer pack and hope alongside some of the LOP mods to flesh out the dino crowd while you work on more and I'm excited to meet more of them <3
Good luck with college and if you end up being too busy to continue or have to slow down just know that what you've made is already really cool and appreciated.
awesome mod hope u make more!
I got a question!
Would it be possible to add the HP as a config in some way?
I love them, but they are not very threathening due to being killed with 1, maybe 2 good arrow shots, and I like my players fearing the forest :D
Man I found one while flying around in creative, looking at world generation from another mod. I had to take a pause and admire the animations, such great work on them. The brows and feathers on the head moving was so captivating, I honestly didn't expect you to commit this much. Man, really, stellar work! The color variants are great too. When I went back to my main world and went down to chop some trees 5 of them attacked me. That was fun!
StarFeather it is possible, and I appreciate you letting me know, I'll look into tweaking those values for the next update!
I absolutely adore this so far! Beautiful model and animations, can't wait for taming and saddles!
My only complaint is that they are way too agressive given how little health they have. They take only three bonks from a bighorn ram to be killed. They go after wolves even though they also can only take around three bites. They even go after bears, which is basically always lethal to them as two swipes from a bear and they are dead. Idk if it's possible, but imo they should at least ignore wolves and bears.
The handbook is not working, I am aware and will fix when I can.
DINOSAUR RAAAAHHHH
neozzz2 for some reason it didn't ping me so I only saw it now. And somehow I did not see that in your roadmap if it was there. Sounds great to me! Can't wait! Thank you for your hard work
@ChiefKrogan, colossodactyl is inspired by maip macrothorax >:)
YES!!! amazing!!!
If you plan to add mega killers into this mod at this point may I interest you in Maip Macrothorax? Bit smaller than a T-Rex, with:
Otherwise feathered Oviraptors or Utahraptors would be absolutely amazing too. Yes I love dinosaurs, I'm not sorry. Thank you for the mod!
will the taming use Pet AI or you will do your own taming sistem? this mod really interests me since all the other dinosaurs mods arent updated, this one comes like a life saver for more challenge on my world.
are u planning in FUTURE to implement butchering patch?
Working on taming and saddles etc as we speak
Oh this looks kickass.
The sooner the taming update lands, the better~ Those snoots need BOOPIN'.
Take your time though. College is quite The Thing™ to handle alongside, like, anything else. I'd rather something take a while and be done well than whatever the hell AAA companies are doing these days.
There, new ver hopefully they grow LOL
@PiedPipecleaner, interesting... I'll check it out. They should at least grow up but I haven't put much thought into taming yet as I want to include that in the big effort to add saddles and such. Thanks for the info
Yesssss dino mod for the newer version!! Just tried them out in a test world, are these guys able to be tamed/domesticated? I also was unable to get the baby to grow up no matter how much time I added.
this looks cool I cant wait to see more get added!
a promising start! instant follow
best of luck with college!!
