Bred my tek rexes with the new male, so today is the egg-hatching day.
Also a giga-raising day, I'm planning to raise him at least to his first imprint (which is in a bit over 2 hours). The giga is still the same right-colors-and-gender-wrong-melee one, as the newest egg hasn't hatched yet (plus, there's no guarantee that it'll hatch completely right).
...
Giga raising progresses well, he can already hold 19.4 weight, which is used for a stack and a half of kibble, some meat, and a stack of preserving salt. Still not imprinted, because soon after initially making this post I realized that if I don't take a nap, I'll take it anyway, but on the keyboard and with everything left to hatch/starve on its own, so I picked up rex eggs and froze the giga.
...
First imprint done, lot more to go. Tek rex eggs hatched, one got a mutation on stamina (don't need that, it's okay as it is), the rest didn't get anything new. Killed all, the new shotgun really does work amazing, 1-2 shots instead of 3-4 I had to do with my old one.
Visited the loot cave, got an mastercraft ichthy saddle (ground for resources) and a mastercraft 60-something dunkle saddle BP (kept for now, maybe I'll try to trade it for something once I run out of space in the saddle/weapon/BP box).
