Musketeer Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Is this how breeding on official servers look like now? This one is from 631 server. I accidentally looked behind someones wall while on a Spino. I've heard baby dinos eat much slower that way? How much slower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what it was exactly, but they died within seconds. Second hatch I kept on land, easiest babies ever! Few hectic minutes, then some staying on top of it until they hold a bunch of meat, never worry again. And this is on low levels. On my unofficial server we've been using this to get around the starvation bug, it does work like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you let it sleep it will plow through a trough in 20 minutes. Your megalo died because it drowned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your megalo died because it drowned. If you put the megalo to follow a guardian mount, they don't sleep ever. They stay awake until the pass out, rinse and repeat. I did check the babies' oxygen stat, it was still full even after they died. Other babies also stay fine when taken into the water, and even if they had drowned, it seemed very fast for that. Unless megalos have special rules about water, as babies or in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im in contact with a megalo breeder and he has been unsuccessful with water breeding them unfortunately. What do you mean by guardian mount?

Housatonic Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Yes, whatever technically kills them, they don't seem to like water for sure. In my case I have a chalico anchor, both for my babies, and for some guardians. I recently moved into a new base and haven't quite plugged up all spawns inside my perimeter, hence the guardian bit. For the megalo specifically though, being on follow means they don't go to sleep, they stay awake, their torpor rises, and they pass out, torpor depletes, they get up, and their torpor starts going up again since they still can't sleep. Being unconscious is about as good, if not better, than the floating thing for other babies. When they get up, they seem to eat about as much as normal babies.

We've noticed with our last mega baby that when it gets up from torpor depletion it munches a lot for about 30 seconds then calms down. Thanks for the tip.

Jonathanasger Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It is very a very useful way for players, like me, who do not have the time to feed babies all the time, to also take part in the breeding fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 It gives the babies stasis food drain for some reason. You get the same effect if no player on the server is rendering in your babies. We have our breeding area in a low traffic area and check on it for imprints and filling troughs. Going afk for hours on end in the breeding area is a cageable offense.

Our they make breeding like you suggested in a topic. Looks like lots of people do not like baby rasing like it is and try to work around the offical system.

Probably sinks to the bottom of the pool when it passes out. I noticed when my tribemate was raising allos, one was being dunked under by the others and was fully submerged. It drowned. So having their head under makes them lose o2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
