Tick Crafting Stations Overview
Unlike massive total-conversion overhauls, the standalone creature mods on Tick Cloud are highly optimized for cross-platform compatibility. None of the creature mods on this cluster require a unique, proprietary crafting station.
All custom saddles listed below are integrated directly into your standard vanilla Smithy, Fabricator, or Player Inventory. Simply search the creature's name in your engram list to unlock them.
Vanilla Ported Creatures
These mods port creatures from other DLCs (like Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, or Genesis) natively to our maps. They utilize standard vanilla saddles crafted in the Smithy, or require no saddles at all.
Unique Custom Creatures & Saddles
These are entirely original custom mods. Once tamed, their specific custom saddles must be unlocked in your engram menu and crafted in the Smithy.
Unique Skyshroud Saddle.
Unique Jumping Spider Saddle.
Unique Magna Gecko Saddle.

Unique Nothosaurus Saddle.
Unique Glider Saddle.
Unique Platform/Standard Saddle.

T.A.C (Tristan's Additional Creatures)
The T.A.C collection adds incredibly high-quality prehistoric variants. Every single T.A.C saddle is crafted directly inside the Smithy.
Unique Antrodemus Saddle.
Unique Daemonis Saddle.
Unique Dzungar Saddle.
Unique Elemental Raptor Saddle.
Unique Vectispinus Saddle.
Unique Eocarcharia Saddle.
Variants & Mythical Spawns
These mods typically alter existing creatures or add new visual/elemental variants. Most of these inherit the vanilla saddle of the creature they are based on.
S-Dino / B-Dino / Myths Variants
These mods (S-Dino Variants, B-Dino Variants, Isle of Myths Dino Variants) add highly customized visual, stat-altered, or biome-specific versions of vanilla creatures. They do not have unique saddles; an S-Variant Rex simply uses a standard vanilla Rex Saddle.
Runic & Serpent Wyverns
Following traditional ARK wyvern rules, these custom wyverns (including the Runic Wyverns, Halo Wyvern, and Serpent Wyverns) do not require any saddles to ride. You can mount them bareback once they are fully matured.
Additional Tek & Skeletal Dinos
These mods introduce Tek or Bone variants to creatures that don't normally have them. They use the standard saddles belonging to their flesh-and-blood counterparts.
