J3EL Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hello, I'm a new player to Ark and I'm having trouble breeding. I've decided to amass an army of Carbonemys, because giant turtles are just awesome. I'm up to five and having trouble finding more, so I started breeding them. I got an egg, but it's not wanting to get warm. When I hold (H) it tells me the temperature is 17C, and the Wiki told me that the Carbonemys egg is ideal in temperatures from 14C to 19C, but when I put the egg down it says its too cold. Even resting against two campfires it says too cold! Does anyone know what to do? I'm still fairly early into the game, so AC isn't really feasible. Thanks guys!

Make yourself 8 standing torches and put then in a circle with a person-sized opening. Fill up the torches and light half of them, then drop your egg. If it's too warm, turn off torches, it it's too cold, turn more on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically like to make the circle a little bit bigger so I can walk in and out of it, but that works too. I'd also recommend putting walls and a roof up if you can.

Oldkane Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 We use 8 dimetrodons in a circle and can hatch any egg that we have tried so far. Advantage of them is that they regulate the temperature plus or minus, whereas fires can only heat it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less effort then taming those pointless dimetrodons and more room as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikay Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 if your going to be breed a lot the dimes will be worth it as they are one of the kibbles needed for imprinting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh4rk Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 If you aren't up to the point where you can make and use ACs, then you probably aren't exactly ready for breeding anyway, depending on the rates of your server. But if you must, use standing torches instead of campfires... same effect and takes up less space/can use more, and you will need more. Light just a few more than what it takes to get the egg incubating, to compensate for weather fluctuations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelion Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I started making a hatchery based on dimetrodons near the beach where they are in water with a ceiling on them where i will put the eggs. Still partly in my mind but if anyone has some ideas dont hesitate to contact me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
