OttoGrunf Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 like i asked in topic title: do animals lay eggs even if you arent online or in visibility range? it used to be like that if you dont move around animals, they dont lay eggs. and im sure its still same. when i wander around animals they give me eggs. if i dont visit that part of base, no eggs. but friend is telling me they changed it long time ago?!? i want to build new base, so can i have separate kibble farm building that i dont visit daily or not?

BigRed1227 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Kind of like if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around does it make a sound? Lol Yes I believe so. I'e logged on and found eggs with 2 minutes left and no one else was on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Yes I believe so.

Thorium Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 No they don't. They only lay eggs, when not in stasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a workaround for name plates. Bring up the radial menu (select on xbox) and select ''Toggle Tame Names''. This will get rid of name plates unless you either A) use a spyglass or B) walk up close enough to the animal, I think it is within 1 maybe 2 foundation distance. And to answer the question. If dinos are in stasis (no one within render distance, which includes non tribe members) then they do not lay eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning to do this because I'm offline most of the time, but some of my neighbors have outdoor kibble farms, and the dinos lay plenty eggs while the owners are offline.
