IvyOfARK Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Dimetrodon vs Air conditioners I have seen SEVERAL YouTubers call the dimetrodon a "totally useless/worthless" tame compared to the efficiency of air conditioners, and say that air conditioners are easier to get, but I totally disagree. Dimetrodons can just be picked up by a wyvern or argie in the swamps. They automatically adjust their temps, don't cost a butt load of materials to make, and you need less of them (in my experience) than you would AC units to hatch eggs. They don't call for fancy electrical grids either, and if I'm hatching Wyvern eggs? I just need to add a few standing torches to the room. Boom! Mega easy to maintain. And they're movable! If their position gets wonky I just reposition them with a cryo pod. Not to mention they eat just fine out of my feeding troughs, so I barely have to worry about keeping them fed. I'm in late game and I still use them for egg hatching Despite all that, though, I really understand the appeal of air conditioners. Easy to set up once you have am electrical grid, and all that. I might be giving them more flak than they deserve ? What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyme Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I tend to use them if babies keep hatching inside the floor, making me demo the foundations. They wont need to be destroyed to rescue a baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertNoobians Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 i use 20 dimetrodons to incubate 170 rex eggs at once 3.5 times a week for more then a year now. 1 good dimetrodon imprinted is the same as 3 ac units +/- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hud Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 We used them on begginer Island, because we didn't have access to ac. It was a bit pain, because dinos are caped on lvl 30, but it works. Last few months I hatch only Rex, gigas, argy eggs on ext. I placed 6 ac and on top stone celeings. Never had a problem with baby dropping inside.

WarpSpasm Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I like to use a combination of air cons and dimetrodon. Generally I build a raised incubation platform with up to 4 a/c units under a ceiling and 2-4 dims on ceilings around the egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
