MyLovelyStar Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I had this thought out of the blue and I was wondering if baby dinos were pre-determined stat wise. For example, you have a fert. rex egg. you go through incubation and it hatches, and you like the stats. As soon as it hatches, your server goes down. The save was lost, and now the rex has to re-hatch. Will it re-hatch with the same stats? Or another example: I copied my server's files to my singleplayer, so I have copies of all my fertilized eggs. Will they all hatch the same, or will they all be different? Sorry for the theorycrafting, couldn't help but wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've wondered the same. Are they randomized at egg laying time, or at egg hatch time? I'd assume hatch, but don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brayn Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 They are not. Got twin pteras before the 30 hour rollback. After rollback the egg didn't hatch with twins. Same goes for supply drops. On a private dedi I grabbed a yellow drop with a good flak BP. Server crashed shortly thereafter and a 15 minute rollback happened. Came back and drop had a water jar.

Harrist14 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Nope. A friend got two males from two troodon eggs pre rollback, got a male and female after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mleii Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Same for Alpha Raptor (and guessing other alpha dino) drops. I killed a 145 alpha raptor, got some amazing gear, server crashed, had to kill it all over again and other "fun" things as the reconnect put me off my dino and on the ground standing next to the alpha, but the second time the gear wasn't the same. Was ok, but not the level of awesome, for me, it was the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLovelyStar Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Oh sweet. Thank guys for all the replies while I was at work! This actually helps me a lot in planning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilNastyGurl Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 They aren't pre-determined. Before the last rollback, was raising a Level 264 Rex with 11000 HP and 368% melee. When the rollback forced me to rehatch the egg, I ended up with Level 267 Twins with 11000 HP and 372% Melee. So the eggs aren't pre-determined.

Rex550 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I play on single player on Xbox so I don't know if it would be different or not (I don't think it would but it could be) but the Rexes I have been breeding have been pre-determined in color and stats, the only variations I have seen are gender and twins or triplets. What I do is incubate at least 3 eggs almost until hatch then save and exit to main menu, after I reload save and then hatch the eggs and check stats, colors, gender, and so on, if they are no good or not what I like I close out the game without saving (by pressing xbox home button, then press start and quit game) so now when I reload my single player the eggs are back in my refrigerator unhatched and they will rehatch with the same color and stats as the first time I hatched them. This allows me to only hatch the best eggs and I can eat the "bad" eggs without having to hatch and kill the babies. Today I hatched 3 Rexes today one lvl 243, one lvl 244, and one lvl 252. I used the above method and rehatched the lvl 252 3 different times (and ate the other 2 unhatched eggs). The first time was twin males (Were hatched along with the other 2 during the 1st test hatch) second time was a female third time was a male again (the one I kept) The colors and stats were consistent doing this 10340 HP, 1890 Stam, 645 Oxy, 138000 Food, 860 Weight, 361% Melee The colors were black back scales, white back stripes, dark red body, and a dark green underside.

Layton Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Where's that troll? He argued with me that when a loot drop lands, all gear is predetermined before the drop lands, and that alpha loot was predetermined before the kill? I knew better. Schrodinger's cat. I knew that gear and loot was not predetermined before opening the drop. After opening though, it is there and locked for you and any random who comes across it if you leave it. Same as with babies. Stats are not determined till hatched. Frigging alpha squids. Killed one and got a primitive rod. Angry, I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
