Releases / [1.0] Dinosauria: A Rimworld Mod / v1.4
September 17, 2017, 10:12:04 AM

Version 1.4

Description
What if we were to finally discover dinosaur DNA sequences, despite being incomplete, and fill the blanks with various genome sequences spliced from left and right, with a little bit of imagination to help guide us?

Wonder no more! A group of Glitterworld scientists, having long abandoned the ideals to terraform the rimworlds with a purpose, went out of their ways to answer just that. With the mechanoids long having gone haywire with their terraforming projects, the dinosaurs created in labs were slowly introduced into fauna that should otherwise have resembled a 21st Century Earth, with little to no care as to their compatibility with existing wildlife and the forsaken rimworld colonists, the latter of which nobody seems to care about anyway.

Dinosaurs

32 new species of dinosaurs are introduced through this mod, all of which spawn in various different biomes:

       
  • Ankylosaurus

Features

       
  • Dinosaurs are meant to be rare. Overall, they spawn less frequently than vanilla animals.
  • Theropods are harder to tame than Thrumbos!
  • Following are pack animals with amazing carrying capacities: stegosaurus, triceratops, magyarosaurus, ankylosaurus.
  • Ever wanted a pet velociraptor? Some dinosaurs have advanced intellect.
  • All dinosaurs lay eggs of various sizes. Two species lay unfertilized eggs.
  • All spawn naturally in various different biomes. Some species favor specific bimoes more than others (modded biomes require patches)
  • Only the Triceratops horns and the Tyrannosaurus Rex skull drop as exotic items. New items are planned.
  • Full sexual dimorphism.
Previews
























Credits and Thanks

I would like to thank Spino for inspiring me with his amazing Megafauna mod. I think this mod would go pretty well together with his. Go ahead and fetch it from Steam Workshop or here on Ludeon!

Also many thanks to Spartyon7 on Twitch for her extensive playtesting, and the guys over at the RimWorld Discord Server for commenting on my art or giving me useful advice (erdelf, Mehni). Finally, thanks to jecrell for allowing me to use some pre-written code snippets in my mod (which are not yet implemented in this mod and are pretty much a work in progress).




Disclaimers


       
  • Scientific accuracy was intended, but not always fully followed (ie. featherless utahraptor). A lot of artistic license has been used in some colorings.
  • Well aware that some dinosaurs need to be covered in feathers. The lore of this mod explains why some dinosaurs came out bald.
  • Well aware that Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs, but were really important members of the Jurassic and Cretaceous fauna.
  • No dinosaur is currently shearable.
  • As of b0.19, all assets for dessicated animals became unique. However, since creating art requires time, currently the mod runs placeholders.
  • May fix bugs here and there, unannounced.
  • Support will only be given to the latest release.
