About DinoStorage2

Dino Storage v2 lets players on ARK: Survival Evolved capture their tames into items and release them later, much like a pokeball. Taking stored creatures out of the world helps server performance, which makes it useful for players and servers that keep large breeding collections.

  • Stored creatures keep their stats and imprint, never starve, slowly gain experience, and keep their saddles and other gear.
  • Babies can be stored with age and cuddle timers frozen, while mating timers keep counting down.
  • Works across clustered servers and with modded creatures, with no load-order needs.
  • Release obeys tribe and server tame limits, and admins get more than 194 ini options, including PvP presets.

Before removing the mod, release every stored creature, or they are deleted when the server starts without it.

Steam Workshop Description

[h3]➤⠀WELCOME[/h3]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⠀▬▬▬⠀▬▬⠀▬
⠀⠀⠀This is a small mod designed to store dinos as items, similar to a pokeball! By removing tamed dinos from the world, it allows you to maintain a large library of stored dinos without hurting server performance! No more lagtastic dino barns or yards! Dino Storage obeys tribe and server tame limits on release, while allowing a large library of stored dinos that do not count against your tame limit. The mod is fully customizable via INI, making it easy to balance for PvP or PvE use!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⠀▬▬▬⠀▬▬⠀▬
⠀⠀⠀You must release ALL dinos from the soul traps before you remove the mod. They will be deleted at server start once the mod is gone. The Recovery.sav file will retain dinos without the mod, allowing you to reinstall the mod and attempt soul recovery using Admin mode. The recovery file does not get auto-removed with mod uninstall, and must be manually deleted.
