Thank you to LightSpinner94 and Tohru for the continued hard work on this awesome WIKI!!

!!!! NOTE: Primal Fear is currently not compatible with any mod that overrides any vanilla creatures, such as classic flyers. (Primal Fear flyers can level up speed, so that mod is not necessary). This is due to the new spawn system, which piggy backs off of vanilla dinos to spawn Primal Fear dinos. This also includes adding any other dino mods to Primal Fear, whether it says it's compatible or not, which can cause unpredictable issues, such as overspawns and other unwanted behaviour. While this is a draw back, the bright side is this method makes Primal Fear work on any map, even any new official map, without my intervention. !!!!

List of Incompatible Mods:
-Classic Flyers and Naj's Speedy Flyers
-Annunaki Genesis
-The Volcano
-Pugnacia
-Extinction Core
-Ark Creatures Rebalanced (AG Reborn)
-Ark Omega
-Ark Supreme
-Kraken's Better Dino's
-Dino Colors Plus
-Elemental Ark
And others...

Primal Fear is a massive dino mod built around PvE ONLY. This mod adds varying tameable tiers of dinos, as well as special boss dinos. Currently, you can tame Toxics, Alpha's, Apex, Fabled, Buffoon, Celestial, Demonic, Elder, and Elemental. The bosses include Primal, Origin, and the Creator. Toxic, Alpha, Apex, and Fabled dinos are math based, and are 3x, 5x, 10x 16x vanilla stats. Almost every creature has an alpha variant. Apex variants are carnivorous fighters, and Fabled variants are passive work horses.

Demonics are cast away creatures hell bent on becoming useful, powerful, mounts. They have sold their soul to evil in order to gain ultimate power. Celestial's are the pure and true counter part, set there as a counter balance.

On top of dinos, this mod also adds varying items to enhance game play. These items include a tranq system, healing items, dino blood, multiple sets of armor, tranq pike, taming helpers, wake up stimulate, and more!

All information for this mod, including spawn codes, taming food, and server balancing, can be found on the google doc here

NOTE:

This mod does not touch creature or player levels. It uses server set levels, whether that is from a mod higher in the load order, or override server settings.

In order to see ALL Primal Fear dinos spawning in, you MUST have Primal Fear 1st in Mod Load Order. Map mods and Stacking mods included as well. It must be higher than those for ALL dinos to spawn in.

Will This Mod Be Ported To ASA?

For those asking us if Primal Fear will be in ASA, we do not know. It's up to Pikkon if he wants to do it. At this point, we would be forced to redo the whole mod from scratch, and that would take a very long time, but it also depends on how motivated Pikkon is to doing it. The answer is still Yes? No? Maybe? until we have had ASA out, and had a look at the Dev kit. At it's current state, I don't expect anything to happen for at least a month, but we will see during that time what has transpired and see the direction ASA is going. If ANY development is happening on it by us, you WILL be informed. If you ask us in any channel/comments/discussions about Primal Fear to ASA, you will be directed to this message and discussion will be removed.

Due to people abusing and harassing us in Steam Comments, they will be removed until further notice. If you want help with Primal Fear, JOIN OUR DISCORD!
