Overview
What CustomDinoEvents changes, and what it leaves alone.
On this page5 sections
CustomDinoEvents turns a rare fraction of the wild creatures your map already spawns into boosted event creatures.
What it changes
The plugin never places a creature. It watches the wild creatures the game spawns, rolls a rare chance on each, and on a hit rebuilds that creature's wild stat spread to a profile you define. An event creature therefore appears exactly where its species already lives, in the numbers the map already spawns — it is simply a far better one.
Spawn placement, spawn density and your map's spawn tables are not touched.
Points, not multipliers
A boost is real wild stat points. It shows in the stat display, it scales with your server's own stat multipliers, and it survives taming — an event creature is a genuinely better tame rather than a temporary one.
What you can set
- How rare each profile is, overall and per species.
- Which species a profile applies to, and which are never boosted.
- The level an event creature is built to, and its stat spread.
- Colours per body region.
- How long it is immune to damage and torpor after spawning.
- Whether sightings are announced in chat, on screen, or to Discord.
What you need
- An ARK: Survival Ascended dedicated server running AsaApi 1.19+.
- File access to the server, and the ability to restart it.
No database is required.
