Imprinting Help

I've read numerous posts here and elsewhere.  I'm still not clear on what some (XBox) settings mean and how to get official-like imprinting % per imprint.  After official shutdown, I recreated my base in an offline world.  I don't want SP settings.  So, I run private, non-dedicated with 'Use Single Player Settings' box unchecked.  But, I do want somewhat faster taming, mating, hatching, etc. since this XBox isn't running 24/7.  I currently have the settings below and am good with everything except % of each imprint.  I accidentally imprinted a breeder wyvern and it went up only 11%.  I'm pretty sure they were closer to 20% per imprint in official.  I want the fully imprinted dino to get the official 20% boost, nothing more or less.  But, I also want to imprint about the typical # of times to get to 100% imprinted.  Please help me understand what to change.

  • 0.2 = Mating Interval
  • 2.0 = Egg Hatch Speed
  • 3.0 = Baby Mature Speed
  • 0.4 = Baby Cuddle Interval Multiplier
  • 1.0 = Baby Cuddle Grace Period Multiplier
  • 1.0 = Baby Cuddle Lose Imprint Quality Speed Multiplier
  • 1.0 = Baby Imprinting Stat Scale Multiplier

I thought it might be the latter.  But, some articles/posts I read said that affects how much a 100% imprinted dino gains, which i don't want to change.

on 1.0 x rate the wyvern imprint is ~9.1% on each imprint. 19/20% on wyvern imprints sounds like more a double rate EVO event.

On PC (Steam/EGS) those were the rates (I am not sure it consoles had the same rates)

anyway imprinting doesn't affect lineage stats at all, you can ignore the imprint to be honest.

I tested the "Baby Imprinting Stat Scale Multiplier" setting.  With my current settings (above), I raised the animals below.  They wanted care about 3.5 hours after they hatched.  I then changed only the "Baby Imprinting Stat Scale Multiplier" setting to 2.0 and repeated.  The care duration was the same as well as the % value that popped up when I gave care.  But, the amount the stats changed by doubled.  So, this setting at 2.0 means your 100% imprinted dino will have 1.4x stats, which is NOT what I want.  So, I'm still hoping someone can tell me how to reduce the # of times I give care while still having 100% imprinted dinos at 1.2x stats.

  • Giga - 5% per care
  • Rex - 11% per care
  • Sarco - 25% per care
  • Argentavis - 20% per care
  • Snow Owl - 20% per care

I reverted my change to "Baby Imprinting Stat Scale Multiplier", putting it back to 1.0.  I then changed "Baby Cuddle Interval Multiplier" from 0.4 to 0.8.  It indeed doubled the amount of time before baby dinos want care.  However, it also increased the % of imprint they receive each care while maintaining it as a percentage of a max 1.2x fully imprinted dino, which is what I wanted.  First care imprints:

  • Giga - 10% per care
  • Rex - 25% per care
  • Sarco - 50% per care
  • Argentavis - 50% per care
  • Snow Owl - 50% per care

Compared to the values in the post above, you can see that some simply doubled.  But others were more than doubled.  I guess the game is doing some math to try to figure out how much % to add in each care based on the the "Baby Cuddle Interval Multiplier" and perhaps the "Baby Mature Speed" settings.  If I get a chance, I will revert this multiplier and change just the mature speed to see what happens.

It is a shame there is not a single setting to just change the % you get in each care action.

% of imprinting on each care depends by dino time rising, baby rising speed multiplier and baby cuddle interval multiplier. I don't suggest to use values like 0.5 for interval, instead use 0.6 or 0.4 since it will rescale in a better way, giving more extra time in case you miss an imprint by a small amount of time.
