DonaldDuck Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) It has the imprint icon, but in the water there's take oxygen interaction that probably blocking the imprint interaction. So how do I imprint Diplocaulus ? I found a similar thread but for console and he said he could imprint using Y button. If that's 'E' for PC, there isn't anything saying imprint in it. Baby diplocaulus insta dies if taken out of water. (dunno for adolescent, but must be the same) Edited January 10 by DonaldDuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, have you tried that yourself or you are asking me to try whether that works ? The diplocauluses have matured so I'll try that next breeding.

But, no I havent tried it myself, I just figured it would not be that hard to trow it out a few times untill you are lucky enough to have it cycle to that option. I think its not going to take THAT long till you get that request. Just let it follow you every time you trow it out for some distance, if it doesnt trigger, try again. Im not sure it works, but I cant imagen it doesnt work... GL... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldDuck Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 The problem is actually there is no interaction for imprinting, I don't have problem with what kind of food the diplo asks, the game doesn't even show me what the diplo asks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you can't see what its asking, whistle it to follow and lead it around for a few minutes. If it was asking for a walk, it will work even if you can't see the ask. If it doesn't work, pod, and unpod again. That rerolls the request. It can always keep asking for something to give it or cuddle, but one of those asks can be a walk. So the whistle it to follow and watch to see if it works is maybe the only way. The walk request doesn't require you to click on it at all, just have it follow you . OOO, one other idea - you could try taking a maewing underwater with you and put it in the maewing saddle. Then see if you can see the request. Even if you can't, you can whistle it to follow you while it is in the maewing saddle and then you can just ride the maewing around underwater until it works - maewing can breath underwater - oxygen not needed for that, just yourself. babys in the saddle on follow will imprint when you ride the maewing around, just like a procoptodon, but the maewing works in water and land. This is one of those animals that we look at as a new player trying to figure out how to deal with the water early on. Most of us just ignore it and go for other options to make swimming work. Its sort of a starter animal that very very few people bother to breed and raise. Definitely report it as a bug, but try what was suggested. I'd bet it will work if you try enough times.

DonaldDuck Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 (edited) Yea, but on 2nd thought I'll just let it unimprinted, it doesn't matter much anyway. This is a longstanding bug that I bet will be an immortal bug. Found similar threads dated years ago. Edited January 11 by DonaldDuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if the maewing decides to swim upwards to the surface of the water with the diplo in its pouch. Actually, I not sure if the maewing can take watercreatures in its pouch anyway... Like eggcubator cant take water creatures' eggs into its inventory to "protect' us from having water creatures die of extreme oxygen corosion... 6 hours ago, DonaldDuck said: Yea, but on 2nd thought I'll just let it unimprinted, it doesn't matter much anyway.

Only other idea I have is to change Ark language and see if there is a language that makes the text boxes not overlap somehow. Not sure at all if its a possible solution, never tried it... 1 hour ago, GrumpyBear said: In the old days we had to tame everything, or trade for eggs from the stuff we didn’t tame. The new kibble system made taming every Dino a thing of the past. Never tamed a diplocaulus in the " old days" I remember having it on the list but did the Diplocaulus egg happen to be on a kibble recipe? I think this was one of the very few creatures (watercreature) which egg didnt have a kibble recipe... Did it actually lay eggs back then 2016-2017? I only remember titanboa, troodon and hesperonis beeing the most awkward tames/eggs to have/get and to aquire eggs to had have... Titanboa because it only eats eggs, troodon because it starved pretty fast (low level+ low food) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like eggcubator cant take water creatures' eggs into its inventory to "protect' us from having water creatures die of extreme oxygen corosion... as far as I have seen, my maewings like to sink to the bottom of my water pen last I remember. Incubators can take water based eggs, you put the incubators in the water and it works for them. But you pose a good point, it is Ark afterall, the baby could suddenly die on trying. But its an easy test and can be tested sorta cheaply with a trash water dino baby. A sneaky way to stop stuff from floating up and dying is have them set to follow another animal that doesn't float up. That will keep it down below the water line. And i'm pretty sure you are right, that particular animal isnt on the charts for the old kibble as far as I can see.
