After a couple of hours research I now believe that what I have planned for this mod is fully possible.

While I work on the models for the different dinosaurs I want to see in the mod, I am working on an idea for creating a new way of playing Rising World where you no longer use modern day tools and weapons and are limited to..... well.... prehistoric tools and weapons.

I am first looking at whether I can access the crafting area so I can add the news tools for example and specify how to craft them.

For example, making a lamp for use in a cave would require a stone with a hollowed depression in it within which you would place animal fat. A wick would also need to be created by creating cordage from the bark you have stripped from the side of a tree.

Hopefully I may find access to the data which specifies what resources you find when you kill a cow for example..... I want animal fat to be one resource found.

Perhaps even cotton soaked in animal fat would be a good wick to use.

Of course...all of this will depend on whether I am able to mod that part of the game needed for crafting prehistoric tools and weapons.

If I can't craft new items there is an alternative method I can try.

Some concept ideas of where I would like to take this mod.......
Both of these are being modelled now.

Spinosaurus Verse T-Rex

Concept art from my upcoming mod Prehistoric Rising World

After adding a little more texture to the animals......

A view from the mountain looking back down towards the ocean on the left of the picture with trees shrouded in fog on the right side of the picture.

The new mountains being tested towards the end of day......

Distant mountain ranges after being retextured.................

I haven't used blueprints yet but I noticed in config.properties the following line:

game_blueprint_include_vegetation=false

Maybe you can try looking here.

Going through the forest testing the new colors and I happen across a black bear which is somewhere in front of me in the picture below.

While other trees in the mod are dry the trees in the forest are a rich green color.

A small change to the colors ......

Food is even more harder to find..... in the picture below you will see food growing nearby. Can you spot it?
I am also testing the replacement of the rocky mountain ranges with something new.

If you rely on finding ores on mountain slopes it has just got harder with this mod.

Work has started on the first Dinosaur...... the T-Rex.

Concept Art of the T-Rex

For the next stage of the mod I need to know exactly what I want the mod to look like.
For that I have done a number of different pieces of concept art to illustrate what I hope to achieve.

With this idea of what I want to achieve the next step is to work out how to add the dinosaurs.

I have only seen the small round pools........

Quote from David.Redhorn

Keep working on this, I would definitely play this plugin all day! Let me know if you want someone to give it some test play, I sure would!

Thanks David...... Currently working on the environment..... next step is to work on the animals.

A second test of the new clouds created for the mod.

Testing a new set of clouds I have created for the prehistoric mod.

Overnight I changed the texture for copper ore to something a lot more suitable. The previous green color just did not fit in with the new color for the landscape.

A new range of flowers can be found in this somewhat dry landscape.....

The ultimate test of survival...... when you find yourself in the middle of a dense forest and you can hear a bear nearby.
