About

This mod introduces a fascinating array of Therizinosaurids to Vintage Story! From the iconic Therizinosaurus to its more obscure cousins, these prehistoric scythe-clawed giants are as bizarre as they are unforgettable.

Despite their intimidating claws and towering stature, Therizinosaurids are herbivores. They are quite territorial, provoking one may earn you a devastating slash from their powerful forelimbs.

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 70 portions. 

They are friendlier(still might attack on occasion) after 3 generation, you can lead them by the rope after 3 geneations, peaceful after 10 geneations

 

Riding

Spoiler!
You craft a saddle and bridle specific to their family, this would allow you ride them. (Not for Falcarius, Erlian­saurus, Jianchangosaurus, Beipiaosaurus, Neimongosaurus)

 

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
