About this mod
(requires the Carnivore Dinosaur Pack, Secrets of Dr. Wu and Return to Jurassic Park to use, read the description before downloading or reporting issues) Adds two species - the diminutive herbivore Caudipteryx and the relatively placid carnivore Sinocalliopteryx - to the game.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
NOTE: The Caudipteryx in this mod is - as far as I know - unique in that, unlike most dinosaurs, modded or not, its entire genome must be acquired for it to be viable. It also only has three skins. Both of these quirks are by design, not oversights.
Users who have been around for a long time may recall my old plans for a Yixian Formation Pack, which ultimately materialized as my Yutyrannus and only my Yutyrannus. Several factors, namely incompatible prefabs, trashed the original plans for the pack, which was supposed to include Caudipteryx and Beipiaosaurus alongside the feathered tyrannosaur. Some may also recall teases for Caudipteryx and a different dinosaur, Sinocalliopteryx, in the cosmetic guides for my Yutyrannus and Tsaagan.
Now, months later, here we are. Backpedaling on my intention for Therizinosaurus to be my last new species, this mod adds two new dinosaurs to the game: Caudipteryx, a small, herbivorous oviraptorosaur that looks like a weird gamebird, and Sinocalliopteryx, a deadly predator of goats and Homalocephale-rigged dinosaurs and a harmless, annoying ankle-biter to anything bigger. Caudipteryx should be available right off the bat in the Campaign and Challenge Modes and Sinocalliopteryx should unlock on one of the Wu islands.
Neither of these species should require ACSE, though the Sinocalliopteryx needs 'The Secrets of Dr. Wu' and the Caudipteryx needs both the Carnivore Dinosaur Pack and 'Return to Jurassic Park' to use.
To install, either drag/drop or copy/paste the 'YixianFmPack' folder to the following directory: 'steam\steamapps\common\Jurassic World
Evolution\Win64\ovldata'. Do not rename the folder, do not rename anything in the folder and do not put the folder in any of the folders already inside of ovldata. If you get invisible icons and neither of the dinosaurs come out of hatcheries when released, you either installed the mod wrong or you renamed a folder.

Known Issues
If you find any serious issues that aren't acknowledged above, please do report them; the more descriptive the reports the better, "game crashed
please help" isn't something I can work off of.

Known Issues
- To avoid carnivores getting stuck, Caudipteryx cannot be hunted by anything.
- Strange but harmless... issues with Sinocalliopteryx hunting goats and guests (this is consistent with all of the other small carnivore mods thus far); it also freezes when hunting compies and other compy-based new species.
- Mild feather clipping.
