MrDynamicMan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hello. I can wondering if a dino continued to starve even after woken up. I tried it a while ago with a raptor, but I need more confirmation. I know that if a dino gets KOd they don't despawn, but woudl they stop starving. This would also be really useful for high torpor drain tames/long herbi tames because we might be able to KO it once. Come back a couple hours later. And insta tame it without babysitting narcotics. I'd be grateful for any feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sAd Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yea, they starve - doesnt matter if ur around or not. Thx to the 2x taming speed on my server I can leave most stuff alone while taming x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just remember to put spikes around it if you aren't going to babysit. Lots of animals will gladly take the free meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of animals will gladly take the free meal. Or put up a thatch fence. If the animal you are taming wakes up while you are away(either by accident or because you want it to), it could hurt or kill itself on the spikes, cause, when it wakes up, besides being hungry, it will still be damaged. And, if it is a tame and your are nearby it(near enough for it set auto follow), it will try to run through said spikes to get to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it just like you are suggesting. It is also nice to be able to do that if the tame goes wrong(get damaged/fed wrong and effectiveness drops). At least, when you knock it out again, you don't spend as much time on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator Jerryn Posted February 14, 2016 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted February 14, 2016 And, if you are using a taming pit/pen, this because a lot easier and safer, depending on your setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if it goes into stasis it stops getting hungry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be possible that hungry restores over time or after stasis as you suggest. I all my cases, I believe I was still with or near the tame when it woke, and after retranq it, it was still hungry. In a few, I pretty certain I had even let the dino feed so that it would heal a bit, before putting it down again. Now, if you leave food on the dino and it wakes up from Topor going to 0 before it finishes taming, it will definitely be close to full hunger. Crap...I feel another set of experiments coming up. Will have to grab a meat eater, go into god mode(don't want to die for science, even if it is not real), tranq it starve it, stim it, and monitor the hunger level right up to it waking and then tranq it and check the level again. Then repeat, but this time feed it something(phiomia or para), retranq, and check it. Then, at least one more time, but leave it for a long time, tranq it, and check it. Good thing these are not real animals, or PETA would be all over me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really like to see the results, but if you're on SP how will you test stasis? Fly to the other side of the island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can either spawn or pick up something like a carno and work with that. For statis, I got a few fast birds, so I can just fly way, do a little recon(looking for another high level terror bird, which are surprisingly a lot of fun, at least un-nerfed), then come back later.

Terror birds are partularly pathetic post nerf though. sounds good. Post when you have all the data! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Starve Taming is a pretty false tactic, to be honest. Starve Taming takes just as much, if not more, narcotics than just feeding it right away - it also takes just as much, if not more, time. If you starve out an Animal, let it wake up, then knock it out again - it's Hunger bar should be instantly replenished. You'd also have to use up a lot of Tranquilizer Darts / Arrows to keep knocking things out without using any Narcotics, which will eventually reduce taming effectiveness as well.

I understand that starving is useless (unless gathering prime) but iraised this question based on a little testing i did with a raptor. A tribemate KOd, forgot about it, and it woke up. An hour or two later i foundit and KOd it, qnd it had 100 food left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
