Sweet Meat Cakes + MORE! [Crossplay]

Adds Sweet Meat Cakes and other vanilla-balanced QOL cakes to your ARK!

UPDATE - 10/18/2025: Unfortunately, I had deleted the DevKit last month thinking that my files were stored somewhere else as I needed more space on my PC, and I believe that means I have lost access to the files of all my mods despite reinstalling the Devkit again at this moment. If I ever make a new version of this mod, this mod will be renamed to Legacy, as the new version would have to be built from the ground up.

Ever felt like there needed to be more healing items for tamed dinosaurs, but couldn't find any vanilla-friendly mods? Introducing the Sweet Meat Cake, a counterpart to the Sweet Vegetable Cake, but can only be fed to carnivores.

The Sweet Meat Cake has the exact same functionality as the Sweet Vegetable Cake, except it works on carnivores instead of herbivores. For example, the cap on healing is 2100, just like the Sweet Vegetable Cake. It can be crafted in a custom structure called the Dino Cake Oven, auto-unlocked in your player inventory at Level 50.

Your carnivores will love its sweet, bloody taste.

But, the tasty fun doesn't stop there. Sweet Meat Cakes + More adds MORE QOL cakes to your ARK, starting with the most recent introduction: Sweet Aloe Cake!


Mod Information

QOL Dino Cake Additions:

  • Sweet Meat Cake: Functionally the same as a Sweet Veggie Cake, but for carnivores. Herbivores and humans cannot eat it.
  • Sweet Famine Cake: Upon forced consumption inside a wild unconscious dinosaur, it removes food and adds torpor over 30 seconds. Can ONLY be consumed by a wild dinosaur.
  • Sweet Coffee Cake: Upon forced consumption, increases speed (1.5X), removes torpor, increases stamina regen, and decreases stamina drain of a dinosaur. However, after 30 seconds of Caffeinated buff, there is a 10 second debuff that reduces a dinosaur's ability to move and deals 200 damage to its health. This CAN be used on both wild and tamed dinosaurs, but be mindful of the Headache debuff, and speedy Caffeinated wild dinos!
  • Sweet XP Cake (2X & 4X): Upon forced consumption, provides dinos with either a 2X or 4X XP gain, just like if you had walked over an Explorer Note.
  • Sweet Aloe Cake: Ahh, the Anti-Pyromane cake. After forced consumption on a dino, provides 60 seconds of fire immunity, including to your character as long as you are riding. 5 minute cooldown, so use it strategically.

Additional Player Consumables:

  • Ice Cube: A worse, non-scorched alternative to Preserving Salt. Increases spoil times by 1.5X but quickly melts, so best used in a pinch. Applies stacked benefits (up to 5) of Iced Water buff, but increases how cold you are, and can lead to hypothermia.
  • Coffee Cup: Human version of the SCC, essentially. Increases speed (1.25X), removes torpor, decreases stamina drain over 120 seconds, and increases hypothermia insulation, but rapidly dehydrates players, so have some water on hand. Additionally, adds a brief Anti-Freeze buff for 10 seconds upon initial consumption.
  • Iced Coffee Cup: Human version of the SCC, essentially. Increases speed (1.25X), removes torpor, decreases stamina drain over 120 seconds, and increases hyperthermia insulation, but rapidly dehydrates players, so have some water on hand. Additionally, adds a brief Extinguished! buff for 3 seconds upon initial consumption.

How to get Coffee Cherries:
Kill Iguanodons (Aberrant, Archology variants confirmed to work) for a 0-15 chance or find Wild Coffee Tree structures that can be harvested like Beaver Dams (75% chance to spawn off of new Iguanodon spawns), but these are not efficient ways. Once you have Coffee Cherries, start to grow your own Coffee Trees using normal ARK crop mechanics!
NOTE: These trees are set up to be destroyed after 24 hours if not harvested.

How to get Cactus Sap for Sweet Aloe Cake:
Kill wild Achatinas (snails, all variants) for a 0-15 chance go get "Aloe Vera Cuttings" which are pretty much just seeds to grow Cactus Sap in your crop plots. This is only really useful for maps without the cactus sap resource readily available for harvesting.
