Changes

• Made “Accept Tribe Invitation” require holding the Action Wheel option, rather than Activation Quick-Press (was too easy to trick enemies into accidentally joining your Tribe).
• +25% Bronto base HP and +20% on its platform-saddle Armor Rating
• Base HP of Ptero and Arg +20% each
• Ptero attack damage +25% and its barrel roll damage by 40%
• Carno Head Butt Damage +25%
• Harvesting a Giganotosaurus now gives mostly prime meat (and killing it gives much more XP)

Fixes

• Fixed issue where you could accidentally get unboarded from Procop Pouch on terrain slopes
• Fixed issue where you could unboard through house-boat/dino-platform walls
• Made Cages give no damage to punching prisoners

Server

• New server option to prevent spawning of Loot crates (artifact creates will still spawn):
  WindowsServer\Game.ini
  (or LinuxServer)
  [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
  bDisableLootCrates=true

• Fixed issues with boarding Procoptodon Pouch through walls, or being pushed through walls while on it (or any passenger seat).

231.4

• More Tamed Dino balancing adjustments:
  • +35% Dino Harvesting Rate
  • 2.2x Turret Damage vs Dinos (originally was 3x prior to dino rebalance)
  • 1.5x Non-Bullet Projectile Damage vs Flyers
  • -30% HP decrease to Tamed Flyers/Quetz
  • -20k Tamed base HP on Giganotosaurus
  • +25% Direwolf Tamed HP

• Turret Damage vs Dinos (Bullet and Projectile Turrets) can be customized on your server with:
  WindowsServer\Game.ini
  (or LinuxServer)
  [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
  DinoTurretDamageMultiplier=1.0

231.5

• Fixed a bug that was preventing increases in the Tamed Dino Damage multiplier from actually taking effect after server restarts (unless you applied a level-up). This effectively gives existing tamed Dinos a significant (+25%) damage amount increase per level.

Further Dino Balance Adjustments:

+67% Tamed HP Per Level Increase
+33% Tamed Melee Damage Per Level Increase
+20% Affinity Boost Increase Health/Damage Tamed Dinos
+33% HP increase to Tamed Flyers/Quetz
+Remove Flyer Projectile Damage Multiplier
-60% Turrets Damage vs Dinos

• 50% less explosive damage to dinos, 20% less player melee damage
• Dinos harvest at 3x their previous damage-rate (i.e. similar to pre-tamed-dino-rebalance). This can be customized on your server with:
  WindowsServer\Game.ini
  (or LinuxServer)
  [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
  DinoHarvestingDamageMultiplier=3.0
  PlayerHarvestingDamageMultiplier=1.0

Fixes

231.2

• Increased Tamed Dino additional per-level Healths and Damages by 25% respectively.
• Fixed the Tamed Dino INI Health/Damage scaling overrides to actually work 😉

Changes

Fixes/Improvements

• Fixed PvP Friendly Fire causing fall/self damage not to occur
• Improved Server Performance

Server

• Tamed Dino Balance Adjustment
• INI Options for server admins to scale tamed dino stats:
  Values we currently have defaulted, in content which server admins can override in their INI’s (setting all the values to 0 will have it behave ‘like it used to be’!):
  WindowsServer\Game.ini
  (or LinuxServer)
  [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
  ;0: Health
  ;8: Damage
  ;Multiplier immediately added for tamed dino
  PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[0] = 0.15f;
  PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[8] = 0.15f;

  ;Multiplier applied if perfect affinity
  PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[0] = 0.375f;
  PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[8] = 0.375f;

  ;Multiplier applied for each TAMED level-up point
  PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0] = 0.15f;
  PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[8] = 0.15f;
