TLR Titanosaurus [Crossplay]
If you have ever spent hours trying to tame the mighty Titanosaur in ARK: Survival Ascended, only to realize it cannot be fed or kept as a permanent ally, you know the frustration. The TLR Titanosaurus [Crossplay] mod changes that completely. This add-on transforms the Titanosaur into a feedable creature with a reduced food drain, making it a viable long-term companion for your tribe. It also adds a striking glowing pattern to its body, giving your colossal beast a unique visual identity on the battlefield or around your base.
One of the best aspects of this mod is that it does not remap the Titanosaur. This means any existing Titanosaurs in your world will be affected immediately upon installation. You will not lose your current creatures, and if you ever decide to remove the mod, your Titanosaurs will not be deleted. However, be aware that on mod removal, they will lose their inventory and saddle. The mod author notes this is an unavoidable consequence of the game's mechanics, so plan accordingly before uninstalling.
Key Features of the Titanosaur Overhaul
The TLR Titanosaurus [Crossplay] for ARK: Survival Ascended focuses on three major improvements that enhance both gameplay and aesthetics. Here is a quick breakdown of what you can expect:
- Feedable Titanosaurs: The primary feature allows you to feed your Titanosaur, keeping its food bar topped up and preventing it from starving or despawning.
- Reduced Food Drain: The mod significantly lowers the rate at which the Titanosaur consumes food, making it far easier to maintain over extended periods.
- Glowing Pattern: A visually appealing glowing pattern is applied to the creature's hide, making it stand out in both daylight and dark environments.
These changes make the Titanosaur a much more practical asset for base defense, resource transport, or simply as a showpiece. The reduced upkeep means you can spend more time exploring and less time farming berries and meat.
Installation and Initial Setup
Learning how to install the TLR Titanosaurus [Crossplay] is straightforward. You can find it in the in-game mod browser or on popular mod databases. Simply subscribe to the mod and ensure it is enabled in your server or single-player session. For those using a dedicated server, you will need to add it to your mod list and restart the server.
If you are looking for a seamless way to manage your add-ons, consider using the foxygame.net launcher. This launcher offers a one-click install for TLR Titanosaurus [Crossplay], pulling the latest version directly into your game directory without manual file editing. It also tracks version compatibility, so you will know instantly if an update for ARK: Survival Ascended requires a corresponding mod update.
Important Note About Structures
There is a critical detail to keep in mind during initial setup. On the first install, the mod will not make your Titanosaurs feedable if they have structures on their saddle. This is a deliberate safeguard because the conversion process would destroy those structures. To enable the conversion, you must remove all structures from the Titanosaur's saddle. Once the saddle is clear, the creature will automatically convert itself to the feedable state.
If you prefer not to manually remove structures, the mod includes an INI option to force conversion. Setting ForceConvertFeedable=True in the configuration will convert the Titanosaur immediately, but it will destroy any structures on the saddle in the process. This is a trade-off you will need to decide on for each creature.
Configuration Options
The mod provides flexible configuration through the GameUserSettings.ini file. All settings are placed under the header [TLRTitanosaurus]. Here are the two primary options you can tweak:
- ForceConvertFeedable: Set to
Trueto forcibly convert all Titanosaurs, destroying saddle structures in the process. Default isFalse. - DisableWarningMessage: Set to
Trueto disable the warning message that appears for unfeedable Titanosaurs. Default isFalse.
These options give you control over how the mod behaves in your world. Whether you want a gentle transition or a hard reset, the choice is yours.
Compatibility and Crossplay
The mod is designed for ARK: Survival Ascended and supports crossplay between platforms. It works with the current versions of the game, including the latest patches. As with any mod, it is essential to check for updates after major game releases. The mod author maintains the add-on actively, and you can expect compatibility fixes if the base game changes its core mechanics.
For those managing multiple mods, the TLR Titanosaurus [Crossplay] is generally compatible with other add-ons that do not alter the Titanosaur's base class. If you use mods that add new saddles or creature behaviors, test them together to ensure no conflicts arise. The mod does not require any dependencies, making it a lightweight addition to your load order.
Final Thoughts
To download TLR Titanosaurus [Crossplay], simply head to the mod browser and search for the exact name. The installation process is quick, and the benefits are immediate. Whether you are a solo survivor or part of a large tribe, having a feedable Titanosaur changes the endgame dynamic. You can finally build a mobile base that does not require constant babysitting.
One last tip: if you are running a cluster of servers, remember that this mod was commissioned for The Lost Remnant cluster. It is fully compatible with crossplay clusters, but ensure all servers in your cluster have the mod enabled to avoid desync issues. The glowing pattern is purely cosmetic, but it adds a level of prestige to your tames that other players will notice. Give it a try, and enjoy the freedom of a Titanosaur that stays by your side.
