Saddle Crafting

Description

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Saddle construction in ARK has always felt a little off to me. I don't see a reason to build any saddle using stone. This mod aims to streamline and simplify saddle construction and weight. Introduced are two types of saddles made in player inventory: riding saddles, and battle saddles. Almost all saddles will only be made from hide (leather), fiber (for stitching), and metal (for buckles). The weight of saddles is equal to the weight of the crafting components. For most small to medium dinos this means that a riding saddle will weigh less than a vanilla saddle. Riding saddles will have an armor value of 5, while battle saddles will have an armor value of 60 (with exceptions). There is an engram for riding saddles (lvl 20) and an engram for battle saddles (lvl 56). Once the riding saddles engram is learned, you can unlock (free/0 engram points) any riding saddle (found at level 0 which is typically found past tek engrams). Not included are platform saddles or tek saddles. These saddles have not been included in loot drops, which will still include vanilla saddles and their blueprints.

Note for the future: Rollrat saddles have a large durability due to their wear while rolling. Since ASA also introduced wear on saddles due to other actions, it was unclear how or if to change this durability. I decreased the durability, but potentially too much. This may need to be adjusted once Aberration gets released. For some reason, the Basilisk saddle also has a very high durability though I have not heard its saddle being affected similar to a Rollrats.

Potential future updates: Specialized saddles for carrying items, or other "buff-like" abilities.
