Airthrow Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hey everyone, Is there a way to see a baby animal's gender/stats before claiming? I'm a bleeding heart and don't like to kill the baby after it's claimed, plus the death in my tribe log leads to a lot of questions from overly concerned tribemates. Seems silly, I know, but I can't access its inventory not see anything other than Baby-Species after it hatches. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exemplarisk Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 You have to claim it to be able to see its stats.. how ever, you're not alone with a bleeding heart.. I always unclaim them if i dont want them and just leave them in facility... Atleast i don't have 2 watch em die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exemplarisk Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Did i ever mention how i also collect the meat from their dead bodys and feed it to the other dinosaurs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilShadow Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Have you tried a magnifying glass? I havent, but i think they are supposed to show stuff like that. I will test it later to let you know for sure, but that wont be for like 8 hours from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetsu Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I play in official PVE and breed argys and currently starting to breed good stats in our color mutated ones. I hatch in batches and this is how our tribe log looks like in a typical hatch day xD. I usually only keep 3-4 babies from 20 eggs, sometimes even just one xD. I feel the whole deal with having to repair ceilings right after. and yes, this is all happened within minutes of each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songapalooza13 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Might be a noob question but can you spyglass a new born red name to just see the gender before claiming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it will just zoom in on the text displayed over the baby's head, but with a lot of babies, especially low level ones, if you are sitting there trying to look at it the baby will most likely die before you decide to claim and feed.

duyguitar18 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 In my case, if the stat is bad i will just unclaim then kill them to gain some EXP for my character/dinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demerus Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 When doing my breeding waves, If the baby is not desirable I rename it to "RIP - (funny quote or name)" Like this nobody panics and potentially get a laugh out of it. Keep in mind when you kill a baby you get XP also. I hate killing my baby bears, but it is one aspect of being a serious breeder that we all have to accept it is a necessary evil and move forward.

Ranger1 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 5 hours ago, ArkRage said: I couldn't kill some babies either. I just walked them out of the base into a forest. They went on to grow up and have their own babies. Shush, it's true. lmao A good chunk of the unclaimed populations in the habitats I set up in my "Hatch and Release" series come from random births in the wild. Unclaimed creatures will mate with other unclaimed creatures, or even with tames from your tribe (or any other tribe). Basically "Unclaimed" acts as it's own tribe.

NathanAndDaddy Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I hatch low level tames and shoot them and the undesirable ones with stone arrows to turn them into prime. Best way to get prime jerky on scorched. Plus you can feed the raw meat to the babies you want to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
