Dino Hunger Meter

Description
Adds a three-tiered hunger meter to the wild carnivores of Ark. Dinos will be either full, not hungry or hungry. Full dinos have greatly reduced aggro range and no corpse targeting. Non-hungry dinos have halved aggro ranged and enabled corpse targeting (unless the dino doesn't eat corpses by default). Hungry dinos reset back to their default behaviour.

How much food a dino is worth depends on its corpse health so higher level & stronger dinos give more food when eaten. If a dino gets full in the middle of eating it'll stop and leave the corpse.


Technical
Adds a DinoHungerController to each non-tamed carnivore within 21k default units of players. The controller randomises how hungry the spawned dino is and changes "Natural Targeting Range" & "Enable Corpse Targeting" depending on their hunger. Once a carnivore is knocked out, the food meter will match the hunger meter. Adds DinoHasHungerMeter tag on dinos with the hunger meter enabled.

Updates
There will not be any. I have moved to other games but as this mod has been stable for over a year, it will stay public so people who are using it can keep using it.

Does this also work with modded dinos, or only vanilla ones?

this makes the dinos actually HUNGRY when you knock them out! making taming instant sometimes, do NOT use this mod if you care about game balance
also this means pteranodons and other things that cant attack or wont find anything will starve to death

Would if I could but I lost the source files a long time ago. If you can get anything useful out of the files available feel free to do whatever you want with them.
