VidarFeral Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Given that Maewings give better food values to babies than alternative feeding methods, it seems very counter intuitive that juveniles and above choose to eat from a feeding trough before going for the Maewings bounteous teats even when basketed to her.

Yggdrassil Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I would guess that it is just hardcoded game logic from the devs that tell juveniles+ to head straight for the trough, think of maewing feeding babies as an additional to rather than change to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ckyBandit Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Wait so if you have no feeding trough present the juveys and adolescents will continue to eat from the maewings teets ? I thought it was just a baby phase thing. So if thats correct why even use a feeding through (not tek) at all when the mae can slot cap at 300 stacks of meat ?

They are not a replacement for feeding throughs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiffeno Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Babies, Juvies and Adolescent can all eat from a Platypus, fully raised a Shadowmane to adulthood with nothing in my two feeding troughs. I did hear someone raised 10 babies from 1 Maewing and 2 starved, so I think there might be an 8 baby cap…given 8 nipples and only 8 surviving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ckyBandit Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Just to follow up, I'm currently raising a juvey rex off of my maewings milkjugs. It works ! This is huge. Now all you need to fully raise a baby is a maewing stuffed full of meat. I'm currently using cooked meat to cut down on spoilage. Got 2 rexes and a shadow going off a single maewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapha Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Made just a test too. Now jouvenile can really eat from the Maewing too. But I'm confused about the range number. The Maewing has 1170 Range but this is only equal to ~3 Foundations? If I move the jouvenile more than 3 foundations away it can't eat anymore.

The 1000 it starts with seems like 1000 centimeters. You also cant name your Mae "Milk Jugs" .... because jugs is censored yet I see all sorts of colorful wonderful language in chat errday.

Stiffeno Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 The names I went with were Free Candy and Predapus, and someone on my cluster has Got Milk lol My very first Maewing was called Sugarpus though coz it’s like a Sugar glider / Platypus combo.

Yeah as a heavily pro Free Speech Aussie I was wondering why 75% of my messages weren’t going through….figured it was big tech over reach censorship 😑, I just wish there was a way for me to disable it on my cluster given I’m the owner and ppl have complained about the overly sensitive chat filter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VidarFeral Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Maybe it's an intended mechanic as Maewings are still bottom of the ladder for a growing dino's choice of food source. Odd way to do a quality of life creature but hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do maewings give better food values to babies? The only thing I can think of that gives an advantage is having the ability to have 300 stacks in the maewing instead of the 60 stacks in a standard trough or 100 in a tek trough. But that to me doesnt equal a better food value. It almost sounds like what is being said here is that each piece of meat being fed to a baby through a maewing gives more food to the baby than other methods.

Zapha Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 From the wiki: "Using in combination with a Procoptodon can reduce the rate at which food is consumed while giving the imprinting bonus, provided said Procoptodon is mate boosted and is female." So it's maybe longer pauses between eating compared to feeding throughs, and Procoptodons can boost that bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I read that too in the wiki, but it sounds to me that its basically just explaining what a mate boosted female procoptodon does already. Dont think that statement actually has anything to do with the maewing tbh, other than just suggesting a good combination for raising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do maewings give better food values to babies? The Nursing Effectiveness stat increases food saturation for babies [fed by the Maewing] by 1% with each level. For example, with a Maewing with NE of 124%, the base food value for Cooked Meat changes from 20.0 to 24.8.
