Domestication

Spoiler!

To hatch eggs, you simply place it down on the ground, they will hatch after sometimes. Important that the area is lit and also big enough for the baby dino to hatch into, it it is too small they will not hatch until there is more space.

Similarly growing will take and require enough space for them grow into their adult form.

Feeding adults,they are herbivorous, you use a large trough or throw the food on the ground, they require 100 portions. 

Friendly after 3 generation, you can lead them by the rope after 4 geneations, peaceful after 10 geneations

 

Riding

Spoiler!
You craft a howdah and bridle specific to their family, this would allow you ride them. The big ones allow additional two extra riders. Additionally you also add storage on their front and back. Certain ones that are too spikey will not mount and the smaller ones will only allow one rider and or less storage.

 

Hitching Station

Spoiler!

If have dinosaur mount that you want to stay put, you can craft a hitching station,

Simply place it down near your mount and it will stay close to it,

If the dinosaur is not domesticated or still too wild, it may knock down the hitching station

Fair point, I just over looked it and nobody said anything about it until now, I'll bump it to a more reasonable amount

💬 Vigilance, 4 days ago

laughinggas 

This is more of a general question for your packs, but are there plans to adjust drops further or are they largely as-is? I am thinking of writing a rebalance patch for your stuff, as even with the maxed drop rates, I still personally find them incredibly lacking compared to like... FOTSA critters. The ratio of items just seems off. (7 hides for a 700 health critter?)

I have no problem in any case, I just don't wanna do a rather large-scope patch just to have you adjust things later on :)

💬 laughinggas , May 6th at 8:57 AM

Billiam

biomes patches should be all correct now

💬 Billiam, May 5th at 5:30 PM

Thank you!

💬 laughinggas , May 5th at 5:18 PM

Billiam

noted and once again thank you

💬 Billiam, May 5th at 3:51 PM

laughinggas There are also two places in assets/macronaria/patches/biomes.json with a comma at the beginning of the array that prevent parsing:

 

ex line 83:

"biorealm": [,
  "central palearctic",
]

 

💬 Billiam, May 2nd at 8:49 PM

laughinggas I'm parsing them in order to create a patch for another mod, so I noticed the JSON error while trying to read that file.

💬 laughinggas , May 2nd at 8:28 PM

Billiam

thank you for the report, should be fixed now, I'm amazed at how you caught that, how you do it? I wouldn't have notice it at all

💬 Billiam, May 2nd at 7:45 PM

> I don't what you mean by missing a brace, can you please provide more detail, what is the issue exactly, is this and error or warning from the client-main log?

 

Hey sorry! The file "assets/macronaria/entities/land/nest.json" isn't valid json or json5, because it's missing a trailing closing brace somewhere. I believe the game is fairly fault-tolerant there, and isn't causing any log errors. 

 
💬 laughinggas , May 2nd at 6:08 PM

Billiam

I don't know what you mean by missing a brace, can you please provide more detail, what is the issue exactly, is this an error or warning from the client-main log?

💬 Billiam, May 2nd at 5:16 PM

"assets/macronaria/entities/land/nest.json" is missing a brace in 1.0.12

💬 laughinggas , Apr 27th at 12:51 AM

GaiusGoldleaf

Argonius

the issue in question should be fixed

💬 laughinggas , Apr 27th at 12:30 AM

GaiusGoldleaf

sorry for the late reply, I did not get a notification for your message, that is a bug and I think I know is causing it.

soylent100

yes safe to add and remove

Argonius

Yes I will be fixing their hitbox 

 

💬 Argonius, Apr 27th at 12:00 AM

I'm having a weird issue in that I can't seem to be able to harvest from Patagotitans. It's possible that this might affect other mobs from this mod but when I go to harvest from one I killed, it plays out the animation and then stops, which I know means that the mob has been "harvested" but the menu for taking the meat and such out does not show up. Is there something I'm missing in this regard? The harvesting hitbox is also really weird.

💬 soylent100, Apr 23rd at 5:07 PM

sorry if you've answered this before but is this safe to add to an existing game? (1.20.7)

💬 GaiusGoldleaf, Apr 22nd at 11:13 PM

When a first generation argentino dies the server can't despawn the body and it throws a ton of errors of trying until the server crashes. This would be after carving it for meat and such.

💬 laughinggas , Apr 21st at 7:00 PM

They do not currently. But in the future, I want to add more accessories slot for them

💬 GaiusGoldleaf, Apr 21st at 1:56 PM

Do the head medallions that make the elk show up on the map work on these?

💬 Kriegermeister, Apr 19th at 1:30 PM

Just tested the new 1.0.9 update in my game. The issue is fixed now! Thx boss!

💬 laughinggas , Apr 19th at 1:22 PM

Yes, I found the issue, new update should fix it

💬 Kriegermeister, Apr 19th at 1:01 PM

I'm using this mod in 1.20.4(idk if this has anything to do with my issue) and the long neck dinos in this mod can't seem to step up onto blocks. If they step down into a 1 block deep pit or depression in the terrain for example, they can't get out of it and they are stuck there forever. 

Edit: Using mod version 1.0.8

💬 laughinggas , Apr 17th at 9:24 AM

Eventually, yes

💬 Joho, Apr 17th at 7:58 AM

I can't express how excited I am to see where it all goes, then. Just one question: Did you have plans for Dilophosaurus or any members of the Allosauridae?

💬 laughinggas , Apr 17th at 6:37 AM

Yes. unique drops and decor is something I will do. Probably get around to it as soon as I finish the list of must have dinos.

💬 Joho, Apr 16th at 9:01 PM

 I truly adore these mods; the animals look fantastic, and add so much life and variety to my world. The only question I really have is whether there's any intention to add unique drops at some point, I.E. hides, skulls, etc, and/or crafting recipes related to them? I'd love to have some Dino-decor.

💬 laughinggas , Apr 14th at 7:23 PM

I'll get around to changing all the riding sounds and have a second look at the riding speed.

💬 Ardail, Apr 14th at 4:53 PM

I know they're pretty big and slow animals, but doing some testing they seem REALLY slow for riding around on like barely moving, also gonna assume the vanilla elk sounds for trotting around are gonna be replaced in the future eventually lol

💬 NobodyQueen, Apr 11th at 9:52 PM

Heya just wanted to let people know that if your longneck dinos are getting stuck everywhere, a temporary solution to get them to move is to place a large trough down with some dry grass in it. They IMMEDIATELY went for it and are now acting perfectly fine again!

💬 laughinggas , Apr 9th at 9:12 AM

Ah yes, the infamous tree climbing sauropods...
When the next mod roll out, I will release an update for this mod, I'll nerf their climb height and hitbox and hopefully they then eat the trees leaves rather than climb them.

💬 BottenRasterd, Apr 8th at 9:27 PM

So, I've been having this issue...  Apparently, dinos really like climbing trees?  😀

 

I've only noticed it happening with animals from this mod.  I can provide pics, if desired.  It's really quite comical!

 

I can understand if they were on a mountain and were climbing down and got stuck "mid air" but how'd they get up there to begin with?

 

 

 

EDIT: Here we go! Climb that tree!

 

 

💬 laughinggas , Apr 8th at 12:36 PM

The vanilla ai path finding is just not equip for creatures this large, I'll see what I can do but being so big, they get stuck easily

💬 HyperRainbow, Apr 8th at 6:49 AM

Hey mate wanted to thank you for the mods absolutely loving having all these dinos in my world, but have noticed a possible bug with the Europatitans ( Unsure if this applies to others ), sometimes they will walk onto a peak or high ledge and then get stuck mid air completely static apart from their idle animations. apart from that having no problems with their pathing and overall behavior. Once again thank you for your hard work :)

 

💬 laughinggas , Apr 8th at 6:09 AM

Glad you all are enjoy these mods.

You can hit the nest and harvest them to destroy it.

💬 JustaKobold, Apr 7th at 9:23 PM

Love these mods. so happy to add them to my world, though how do you destry a nest? I have found several empty ones that seem to just be abandoned and they just sit there. Cant wait to see som raptors. Hope they are next!

💬 Dedebaba, Apr 7th at 8:41 PM

Loving these mods man, pretty much only need a chicken sized dino that lays edible eggs to be able to disable the vanilla animals and not be missing anything. 

💬 cowdragons, Apr 7th at 7:42 PM

i love your dino mods! thank you so much for making them :0)

💬 laughinggas , Apr 7th at 6:36 PM

You'll just have to wait and see the next dino mod. I'm currently not taking requests, I have list of dinos I want to make for myself first, only after then will I consider requests. 

💬 justin1987, Apr 7th at 4:41 PM

wat is your next mod u making with dino can u add my request  from all the periods from iceage to the start era prehistoric creatures 

 

💬 Hydromancerx, Apr 5th at 6:35 AM

I like how you list the biomes now. Much easier to read.

💬 Willownezz, Apr 5th at 3:57 AM

This modder is on fire, great mods every week lol =D love it will download.

💬 BeoW0lfe, Apr 5th at 1:38 AM

Running into an error when trying to place eggs. Egg does not place and the error text "No such entity loaded - 'macronaria:macronaria-brachiosaurus-egg-raw'." appears. Tried with a few other dinosaurs from the mod, but it gave the error text for each. Great mod otherwise.

💬 Costardine, Apr 4th at 11:10 PM

That's huge (pun intended)
