Some dinos just have too much internal logic that is not exposed to be altered by an external source such as a buff, or the changes I want to make have to involve altering the logic on the dino itself. The biggest disadvantage is that although there are lots and lots of things that I can do using them, I can't do everything with them.

The main advantage of making changes via buffs is that should the mod be removed, the buff just goes away and the affected dinos just go back to being completely vanilla again.

There are lots of changes I make via buffs that many other mods needlessly create whole new dinos to be able to do. Buffs are relatively lightweight, easily added, easy to work with, and can be used to make a wide range of changes to dinos.

Default Buffs: This is by far my preferred method of making changes to dinos, and is the most common method I use.

KBD makes changes to dinos using a variety of different methods, each one having its own advantages and disadvantages: If you haven't already I would strongly suggest checking out No Untamables and I will provide a link later on in this guide.

The main example being 'No Untamables' by Myrmecoleon who has not only helped immensely with the creation of large parts of this mod, but also has similar ideals for their own mods, and therefore we both strive to maintain full compatibility between KBD and NU as they complement each other very well. I categorically do not intentionally make changes to dinos created by other mods, nor do I ever intend to, although I am happy to try and make KBD able to co-habitate with other mods where I can, and there are other authors that I work closely with in this regard. It should be noted here that all the changes I make will only effect vanilla dinos except in some very rare cases which will be noted where applicable. Ini options will be included along with the various changes made to the dinos later on in the guide in their own individual sections. With this in mind I have provided a large amount of customisation abilities done largely through the GameUserSettings.Ini with the ability to tweak most individual changes to dinos, or to disable the KBD version all together. It can be used in conjunction with other larger overhaul mods but be aware that there may be some conflicts, and can of course be used for PvP servers although there are some changes I have made that some servers may find detrimental to PvP or other styles of play other than the aforementioned 'Vanilla with Sprinkles' The mod is largely PvE focused as that is how I play and what I know. What I refer to as 'Vanilla with sprinkles' and is based around official server rates for its balancing. Kraken's Better Dinos, or KBD as it will be referred to from here on in, is designed to enhance the largely vanilla style of gameplay. I have also introduced a few new unique dinos to either plug the holes in progression caused by the betterment of some others, or just because I wanted to make them such as the additional Tek Dinos introduced by the mod. The overall aim is to give use and meaning to some dinos who have been left behind by time or never really had a niche to call their own before. Sometimes making small beneficial tweaks, or fixing long forgotten base game bugs, to some complete overhauls that completely change the way you use your dino friends in the game. annoying, but soon spiralled into what you see now, a quality of life semi-overhaul mod that touches in many different ways a vast majority of the Vanilla dinos in Ark. Kraken's Better Dinos originated as just a way for me to make the oceans of Ark a little less. Hello there you beautiful human being you, thank you so much for coming to check out my guide to my humble little mod.
