Tristan's ANTRODEMUS Spotlight | ARK: Ascended

[@DarkEdgeTVSurvival]

There seems to be a scaling issue with low level Antros, especially level 1s, and it's being addressed High level Antros are working as intended AFAIK. *WILD ANTROS ARE STRONGER THAN TAMED ONES*

[@rhettbutler5397]

How come they don't enrage when I throw down a brain? It'll eat it and nothing happens. I've basically destroyed all my possible allo brain spawns and this thing just doesn't care

[@Ignited_Trap]

Do you possibly know why I can’t get these guys to spawn on the center in single player or in server?

[@rhettbutler5397]

@@Ignited_Trap I had to do 4 to 5 dino wipes just to finally get 3 to spawn. Which is a real pain to do on single player because it takes forever for everything to spawn in

[@PhlippinPhil]

Thank you everybody for the awesome comments! Full disclosure here. We specifically wanted the Antro to not be too OP and be something, at least the creature itself, that could have been in the vanilla game. It shares the same base stats as the Thyla and has a less powerful bleed. However, this can't climb like the Thyla, hence the running without stam-drain as a trade. In that vein, we wanted a theropod you could spend a LOT of time on that had more to it than just munching, and that came with a unique ability. I think Tristan accomplished just that. Thank you for the review!

[@dus1213]

You all did an awesome job! Maybe again in addition: Since i feel armor must be very uncomfortable to wear all the time, wouldn’t it be cool to have an Armorstand for the Armorpieces of the Eocarcharia and the Antrodemus? ❤ So i can display the armor, but not have to wear it all the time on my dinosaurs? Just as a suggestion :3 Continue this awesome work!

[@nikosthanopoulos2921]

It's certainly competitive with a Thyla having a significant edge in resilience. However, IMO the stamina buff is a bit unnecessary. Lower stamina drain would probably be more than enough. For the bleed, given the size disparity it would have made a bit more sense to me if it had the same non stackable bleed or slightly better, but with longer cool down. Alas, it's still very good as it is so if it ain't broken don't fix it lol

[@francisweller839]

Thank you for answering my question earlier. Can I ask, how does its bleed compare to the Allo? Whatever the answer, thank you for taking time out of your day to answer our questions, and thank you and Tristan even more so for giving us this creature. I know you guys enjoy it because the love for it really bleeds through every aspect of this Dino. You may not profit from it, but we as a community are better off for having such talented and dedicated modders❤️🫡

[@nikosthanopoulos2921]

@@francisweller839 The bleed seems to be a smaller percentage per tick and more like the Dinosuchus' broken bones type. That is, it has an effect only if the target keeps moving.

god i love this design and the medievial-dinosaur suit of armour. to me this is THE classic awesome allo-like design that ark was missing (much as i love the normal allos)

[@grimm6176]

I LOVE the taming methods where you dont just knock things out but almost prove your worth, befriend, or teach a pack creature that you're the stronger individual to follow if that makes sense? It makes for a lot more of a personalised relationship with your tames roleplay wise. Like you aren't bullying the creature into being tamed but proving that you're worth being loyal to.

[@xenshaxiii1339]

I flinched more seeing the majunga’s horn near its rear end while it’s knocked-out more than the botched taming effectiveness.

[@dus1213]

As a Geo-Scientist and hobby Paleontologist i love that all these more unknown Dinosaurs get more love and attention. The model and design looks very cool and its again a good Dinosaur without all that magic stuff (which i prefer). I think its always a bit over the top with making dino knights, but it fits the game to me. Like Space Armor for Dinos.. well, I’d prefer the knight :D Usually i will use the travel saddle. Now that i write this, I’d love to see an armor stand for the Eocharcharia and the Antrodemus Armor. Maybe with a quick switch option. Since wearing Knights armor must be very uncomfortable this would be an awesome addition! All in all a very well done mod. It doesn’t feel OP, it‘s definitely strong, but i think it fits the game!

Tristan is churning out quality creatures almost as quickly as you are churning out great videos! I do like the Idea of an exploration pack carnivore, so looking forward to using it in AB. With all the carnivores, I do hope to see a few more Herbivores/Omnivores to balance out the spawns. I also have to agree with your comment on aberrant/glowing creatures in ASA are a bit too bright and not adjusted for the engine. So many great modders really make ASA shine!

[@DougDibrimi]

nice attacks on the antro - modified spino claw swings Edit: hey! the taming method is the Immersive Taming combat tame method! But instead of a custom bait, you throw the trophy at it? Nice! Burgesssss, author of the Immersive Taming mod, wasn't able to push more combat tame baits because of all the modeling to make the baits, make them crossbow-friendly, etc. Just throwing the trophy is an excellent workaround for that problem.

[@gunner37]

You lady deserves all the support ❤

[@Voxen712]

pulling up to a massive theropod and throwing the remains of a murdered ally at it to assert dominance sure does seem like something the average ark player would do, love that taming method. really feels like you need to get on the same level of badassery (and genocidal bloodlust) as this very stylish boi to earn its obedience!

Adding creatures to a server won't cause any problems. If you use Nitrado for example, it may cause the serve to not want to restart occasionally, but you can just contact support chat and have it fixed within 2-3 minutes. I've personally been switching mods around on our server for months. It's never caused a loss of progress
