About this mod

Updated for 30th anniversary. Reworks the amount of forest looked for by dinos so comfort for enclosures aren't a forest with a dot of water in front of a viewing gallery, improving creative builds with some open spaces to actually put things, and see the dinos from the ground.

Permissions and credits
Works with  PW Better Foliage (1.7.2)

If you ever felt like some carnivores and sauropods felt like they were just a mass of forest with one visible sliver toward the viewing area, this mod should help with that! It does not change the amount of area a dinosaur needs, it just makes the space used not need as much forest. (About 40-60% changes over all species.) Sauropods were about halved, so you still need a lot, but there is now some open space to build with or mix other dinosaur species into!


Compatibility: 
  • Works in all game modes.
  • Should cover all base game dinos. Seems to cover at least some of DLC dinos but I can't really check because only biosyn and feathered were wort- ANYWAY
  • Should not affect ACSE modded dinos at all. Compatible with Kai everything, and modded dinos. 
  • Should be compatible with other mods that edit other parts of dinosaur behavior, but it depends how they do so- unless they also change dino environment core preferences rather than how they behave in the environment. 
  • Will NOT work with any Content 0 Main.ovl replacer mods. 

Installation:
Unfortunately this mod is a reaplcer type mod. (It's compatible with ACSE being installed and other ACSE mods, I just can't make THIS an ACSE based mod.); Doing so just adds an extra forest need to the dino that the game doesn't honor, so it is an OVL replacer mod if you want to use it. I made it for me and I've chosen to share it, you do you.

Just go to your OVL data folder, unzip this mod, and paste the Ovl 0 folder there. The path is generally:
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Jurassic World Evolution 2\Win64\ovldata

Uninstallation:
Will automatically delete itself when the game updates. Trying to reinstall it will lead to a crash- this is a very game version dependent mod and was made on 4/26/2023.

Bug: Yutyrantus doesn't appear to be affected by the mod.
