The idea

A name for every adventure.

Choose from 124 creature-specific pools and seven universal packs, including human names, mythology, games, pirates, history, food and ARK creators. The NTD Settings Poster controls naming preferences, packs, mutation labels, respins and notifications. Tribe-wide name tracking helps avoid repeats until a pool is exhausted.

What it brings to your game

  • Automatic names for newly tamed creatures and babies
  • Creature-specific pools plus seven universal name packs
  • Mutation counts for health, stamina, weight, food and melee
  • Per-player options through the NTD Settings Poster
  • Respins and tribe-wide name tracking
  • Universal names for base-game and modded creatures

Getting started

  1. Install mod 1380284 through the ASA mod browser or server mod list.
  2. Use the NTD Settings Poster to choose your packs and naming preferences.
  3. Tame or hatch a creature to see your selected naming rules in action.

See the official project page for current files and any additional installation notes.

Compatibility

Cross-platform. Supports single-player, non-dedicated and dedicated sessions, with no core remaps. Existing manually assigned names are not automatically overwritten.
