Kibble+
Disclaimer Curseforge and WC's approach to mod uploads makes it very difficult to test the mods before publishing them. Due to that new updates may contain bugs. Once a full release of the mod is available, I will upload a purely test or experimental version of the mod that would only merge into the live mod when tested.
Goal
While playing ARK there are only a couple ways of increasing the speed at which you tame a dino. You can increase the taming speed to the point of near instant, but it kills the need to farm meat/kibble, or you can knock out the tame, wake it up, and knock it out to get a big boost. Both ways feel bad, and don't feel as if they respect the player's time. While not perfect, Kibble+ sets out to resolve that issue, allowing the server rates to be at a much lower rate and giving the player effective ways to increase taming speed via crafting consumables.
WIP
- Recipes for individual consumables - The vision here is a good set of recipes that force farming/resource gathering without feeling too grindy. While also understanding higher rate servers will be able to provide these materials much more quickly.
- Kibble variants for Dinos that don't have a preferred kibble.
- Balancing Values - Currently need to get the base values correct so that it feels good to use but doesn't feel too easy.
- Models/Icons - Current icons are just AI generated and current cooking pot is just a recolor so you can identify it from other cooking pots.
- Crafting Speeds - Currently inherits narcotic crafting timer and may adjust to make it feel more engaging.
- INI editing - Once base values feel healthy. Adjusting the consumables to have more control via ini settings for server owners.
- Mutation Kibble balancing and correct display feedback.
