📋 About This Mod
Thank you for taking the time to check out my mods for Jurassic World Evolution 2! My name is Leaf, and I'm so thankful that you chose to use one of my animals or one of my mods for your Jurassic World Evolution 2 experience!
I've been a long-time Zoo Tycoon and Planet Zoo Player and Modder, and I'm so thankful I've been able to bring it to JWE2. If you like the work that I do, be sure to check out my channel by clicking the banner above, and consider endorsing my mods that you enjoy! I hope you have lots of fun with my mods, and I hope you have a great day!
The mod you are downloading currently features:
New Species Coding - Boost your basegame roster with this additional animal!
Full Species Database - Genuine and well-developed information goes into perfectly fulfilling animal knowledge in the Database.
New Digsite - Can you dig it? Adds a digsite specifically for this animal!
Dinosaur Exchange - Purchase this animal off of markets, whether it be it's genes, eggs, or the actual creature itself, but watch out for unreliable info and unknown sellers!
Expanded Colors - Change the colors of this silly goober to over 32 color variants and patterns, a sharp contrast to the base game's 12 variants and 7 patterns!
Compatibility With Others - This animal is compatible with other Nyctosaurus mods, such as Glitch's Nyctosaurus mod!
This animal is based off of the Geosternbergia.
This mod requires ACSE, Species Viewer Fix, and Expanded Colors Core.
ACSE is a tool for modders to add more special features to mods that we couldn't add without it. You install it exactly the same way as other mods by unpacking the file and placing the folder into your Steam Library via: \steamapps\common\Jurassic_World_Evolution_2\win64\ovldata
Current Issues:
Size is off, I know! Hopefully soon we'll find a way to scale animals.
If you like this mod and my other content, please consider taking a look at my Ko-Fi! This is the best way to commission animals or support me directly, as well as contributing to stretch goals for future mods!
