SCORCH Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I am having an extremely hard time breeding shoulder mounts. No pen size I can create seems to work well. I have tried one by ones, wooden cages, fence foundations and walls in smaller than 1 by 1 radius... you name it and I feel like I have tried it. Any tips from the shoulder mount breeding pros?

Any tips from the shoulder mount breeding pros? Just set them to wander and spam u on the keyboard. U is the command to stop so they will stay still. Also a tip for breeding large tames like spino, rex and giga is to set their targeting range to lowest and they just stand still even on wander.

Weiss Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 U is the whistle command for "stop all". I can confirm the lowest targeting range works for featherlights and dimorphs. If you put small pets in a cage to mate, it always works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArianaGaming Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hello, Well i guess next year they add rope as in S+ to ARK. Until then your creatures glitch out into the wild on wander and you constantly need to keep your eyes on them. Or never leave your base (out of render). My tought is to have all pets on group 10 and all follow a pachy or moschops then set all to wander unfollow all from pachy and when done whistle follow all using the tame group 10. Have air conditioners in roof or floor. Good luck and keep pachy close so the do not fly or have follow distance to max (high). Regards, Ariana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCORCH Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 I am on the xbox. Dimorphs/flying shoulder mounts seem to be giving me the most trouble, especially as trying to throw them down after you accidentally pick them up when trying to pick up an egg and then they fly away to the wrong spot is the worst.

All the tips given here should solve your problems. Put them in a cage and deactivate wandering before you pick up an egg if none of it works.

d1nk Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Use a 2 high 1x1 box, in the top leve put instead of the floor a catwalk, the eggs should pop down to bottom layer. Throw a large storage box to box em in up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips from the shoulder mount breeding pros? Weigh them down with stone and metal. I have 3 (1M and 2F) that I use as breeders and occasionally swap them out for a better generation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a shoulder mount on before you pickup eggs. You can only have one on at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually weigh them down to the point they're slow moving but even slamming them I never received that message. Is that new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngrySaltire Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I had to get my oviraptor test subject down to 140.0/156.0 weight before it would allow breeding. Think its been like that for ages, long as I could remeber. Edit Opps ment to quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngrySaltire Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Just tried on a more appropriate test subject my shinehorn. Wouldnt mate until weight 298.5/332. At which point it started to wander around resonably freely, granted much slower than normal but more than fast enough to casue in issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know mine are pretty slow. I also have then in a 2x2 in my building so it's not really an issue. My troodons are though. Man those things are hell.

Yeah, I set them to their own group so I can group whistle follow and stop without whistling everything in the base but, even doing that they are still a pain to try to mate and claim when they hatch. I had one die because it ran around my base so fast that it died before I had the chance to claim it. I had to hatch my other 4 1 at a time and be right on top the hatch ready to claim immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
