CriD Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Feeding is easy. Get a food truck. Put about 4-6 troughs on a quetz. Go kill Dino's with quetz until you fill troughs. Walk or slow fly quetz through your base. Add a Genny and fridges for extra. So easy to do. Very little effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroJob Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I also got tired of logging in just to spend my game time gatherin food for my dinos just to log out again. When it got to this point pretty much quit. Since then I've tried a couple of times to come back only to have anything I've built up be wiped level to the ground within a week by server hopping alpha's. Now days I login, grind up some explosives, go troll and logout again as thats about all I can achieve in the small time spam between wipes. As for taming anything anymore, not worth the time and effort, just gonna get wiped by the end of the week. This game has done nothing but go down hill since it came out, proof is the current state of the game whereby its just trolling you in so many ways to quit. If the alpha doesnt get rid of you, the monotony of the ever increasing grinds probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgirl Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 When did this get added? I checked my pets this morning and they seemed on normal food. I wish they should stop trying to FORCE us to play, I want to play because I enjoy the game, not to prevent losing 2 years of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szabiferi Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Revert.. they NEVER revert anything. By the way: does anyone have info or did a measurement on how much food idle animals supposed to consume in a given timeframe (hourly/daily)? Is it a fixed value for each type of dinops, or some dinos eat more or less? I would be really good to be able to calculate how often I need to feed X animal with Y amount of food stat.

Vaskur Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It sucks especially for small animals such as troodon... Got not that much food and if you don't get full throughs all the time, those are most likely to starve first. But my idea on the spoilage is, why not make spoiled meat still consumable by carnivores and it just restores a small ammount of food? Many real carnivores often eat carcasses, if they cant get freshprey atm. So they'd still prefer raw meat and regain more food throug this but would eat the spoiled, if nothing else is in reach. It would be just the least prefered food for them despite the fact that it'll restore the lessest ammount of food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeningWei Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well for PVE I have to say, even though now I have to feed a lot more, now I am thinking of streamlining my collection. With the issues of server cap, this change is a really good thing. People have to reduce their numbers or be feeding excessively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually the slow way to do it now that dinos eat so slowly. Not to mention the quetz is certainly not optimal for collecting meat. It's actually quicker to just dump food into stationary troughs and forget about it. The food truck quetz is only good if you are afking and can come back every 20 minutes to shift it to the next spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avaraxius Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 One positive thing about this is that if someone does not login 7+ days most of the dinos wil be dead because of starvation. So we got a little solution agains server hoarders that claim... But they need to adjust the eating timers a bit or meat spoil timers, doing meat runs is not bad but it takes more time if you have ALOT of dinos that consume more than an average dino. They should implement that dinos eat less when the OWNER is not online and set this to MATURE dinos only this should not be hard to put that in the code. But by now i hope we get some official word or something if they are planning todo something about this ro if they are looking into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by now i hope we get some official word or something if they are planning todo something about this ro if they are looking into it considering it in this light then I suppose it makes sense right? for example, my 2 man tribe literally uses 2 gigas, 2 rex's,, a bronto, a beaver, 6 ptera's, 4 argy's, a beetle, 2 oviraptors, 2 diod, 2 anklio's, 1 quetz, 1 megla and a peacock in a pear tree. some of these maybe even once a week. our 2 raptors, 6 dilos, igi, 2 sabers, 1 wolf, 2 trikes, turtles and pachy literally get moved around the base to make space. previously whilst I been away I set 3 dilos to 1 raptor on aggressive and let them wander around outside our walls, may make them follow a rex now, easiest way of having them feed themselves to combat the new timers. they don't generally leave the area they wander in EDIT: does this also mean that starve timers are affected on wild dinos when taming?

YellowJacket Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Yeah the Change was horrible in my opinion. I need to feed my Troodons once a day now to prevent them from starving (and they're not super low lvl ones) and the Gigas (all bred ones, so not complete poop food stat either) survive maybe 2.5 days....it's raptoring retarded, I don't have to feed my real life pets half that often. Another huge problem for me is breeding now...I can basically only breed at weekends now and only breed things that take less than 3 days total; before my babies would, because of being in stasis every now and then, survive me going to university, but now it's impossible, at least for carnivores. Every time I want to play Ark now I log in, see half my poop is at 10% food, feed all stuff and then I'm pissed at the game and log off again, especially with all the beyond retarded nerfs lately.

Or what kind of real life pets you have what dont require daily attention from you? Crocodile? Snake? Camel?

YJMark Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Maybe they should just let meat stack higher so that it takes longer to all spoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
