Toxicus Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm on an unofficial server and according to Dododex, the differences in Narcotic Requirements are almost 5x difference. Is there a server setting that changes that? - If so, what direction changes it? Up for increase like 1.0, 2.0, or down to increase, like 0.5, 0.25?

Toxicus Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Anyone? Really need to know what setting it is as the guy that runs the server isn't sure what he changed to make this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wazzamaniac Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Is it taking too much or not enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxicus Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Too much, where Dododex said 8, it required 40+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxicus Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 It doesn't matter what dino it is. From a Castoroides to a Dodo.. The requirements are higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxicus Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 I wait for it to drop. Calculate how much it needs to go back up to max, and then pump it back up. If it is close to taming up, i wont put any in. I have 1900 hours into Ark, tamed thousands of Dinos. I'm not doing anything I haven't done before. <-- sorry if this came off weird. I'm just saying this has frustrated me. After so much time in the game, this server is being weird.. Its my friends server though, so I'm hoping to be able to tell him what setting he messed with that changed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockeCPM4 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Try increasing your taming speed multiplier. Should reduce that narcotic amount quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxicus Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Awesome! Thanks so much for the info The Taming multiplier is 5x, but even on Dododex its still wrong. So I wasn't sure if there was another setting. I'll let my friend (the server admin) know about this. Although, he's the type that he'd want to see the info for himself. Is there somewhere I can find this info that is posted via Wildcard or the Wiki? The entry for "Taming Speed Multiplier" on the wiki says nothing about Narcotic requirements. So he thinks it has nothing to do with it. I'd just like to provide proper information, if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the wiki is written by regular players so the info on the forums is as legitimate as the one on the wiki. 43 minutes ago, Toxicus said: The entry for "Taming Speed Multiplier" on the wiki says nothing about Narcotic requirements.

If the creature take less time to tame, it will have to stay less longer unconscious meaning that you will need to use less drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxicus Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 The taming speed multiplier is the same thing as the "5x Taming" in the server description right? He has it set to 5x. Why would the narc requirements be different on Dododex? or am I thinking about a different setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess here is that you guys don't understand how the narcotics works and you are just feeding them stacks after stacks after stacks which result into a waste because you could force feed a creature 1,000,000 narcotics and once it will be at full torpor it will start to drop again.

Toxicus Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 I will say that we never let it max out completely. I know that each Narcotic provides 40 torpor. So we'll do the math.. Dino A has 4000 max torpor and currently has 2000 left with tons of time before the tame will finish. So we know it would need it. I'd feed it 40 to give it 1600 Torpor. Not quite max, but enough that I wouldn't have to stress it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure why it would requires you more narcotics then as nothing affects the torpor depleting speed afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxicus Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Then I wonder if it has to do with some kind of internal lag or game clock delay idk.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorium Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Did the admin change dino food consumption? This is interfering with taming times and by that also with narcotics required. However same number of kibbles required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless these forums don't have a PM function. But I can't even post to the forums or reply to this topic either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you lose the "early bird" status, you will be free to post as much as you want. Just make some posts every day and be patient. I think a mod just needs to notice that you are a real human to change your status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Birds are limited in the amount of content they can post within a 24 hours period (to prevent the spam, etc.). But seem like you made it, congrats!
