About this mod

(requires the Herbivore Dinosaur Pack and ACSE to use - version 1.1, fixed legs clipping and expedition speed) Adds the pebble-backed sauropod, Saltasaurus, to the game as a new species. Read the description for installation details and a quick fix for a known issue.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This mod adds a new dinosaur to the game: Saltasaurus, a small-ish sauropod that had bony osteoderms and... a very pronounced ribcage, that lived in Patagonia around 70 million years ago.


This mod requires two things: the Herbivore Dinosaur Pack and a mod called the Awesome Cobra Script Extender/ACSE. The installation procedure is as follows:

  • Download ACSE/the Awesome Cobra Script Extender from https://github.com/OpenNaja/ACSE/releases, the download link should read 'Awesome.Cobra.Script.Extender.zip'
  • If you didn't already download it to the directory, move the Awesome.Cobra.Script.Extender.zip file to the following directory: 'Steam\steamapps\common\Jurassic World Evolution\Win64\ovldata\'
  • Extract the file. If you're using 7Zip, which is what I use for all of this, make sure you click 'Extract Here' instead of any of the other options. If a folder named 'ACSE' appears after you extract the file, you've installed it correctly and you can delete the .zip file (not the folder). If a folder named 'Awesome.Cobra.Script.Extender' appears, delete that folder (not the .zip file, you still need that) and try again.
  • Download this very mod
  • Either drag/drop or copy/paste the 'SaltasaurusN' folder to the following directory: 'steam\steamapps\common\Jurassic World Evolution\Win64\ovldata'  Take care not to drop it into any of the other folders in ovldata, and don't replace anything in the other folders if you don't want a messed up game! (also, don't rename anything)

Depending on how many ACSE-reliant mods you already have installed, you may encounter a strange issue when using the ACSE patch: the Saltasaurus research icon may overlap with one of the pre-existing icons in the Global Operations menu, making the icon unselectable. To remedy this issue, follow these steps:

  • Right click to leave the Global Operations menu and go back to the base research menu
  • Enter the Fossils menu
  • Right click to leave the Fossils menu
  • Re-enter the Global Operations menu. The icon should now be selectable.

After solving this problem, you may find that the Saltasaurus research icon is not visible on the screen. To solve this, simply zoom out.

By default, expeditions to the Saltasaurus's respective dig site, the Lecho Formation, are very fast - this is a remnant from testing that I forgot to iron out before releasing the mod. In the event that one would like expeditions to that formation to be slower for consistency's sake, an optional patch has been provided.

Known Issues

  • Brachiosaurus icon in map view (this is consistent with most of the other new species added by other modders thus far)
  • No footstep sounds


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 go off of very well.
